Here in New York we know that #Haitians are vital in our health care system. That's also true elsewhere, and Trump mass deportations are a threat, as this valuable report explains. #Haiti @amywilentz.bsky.social @jakobjohnston.bsky.social www.nytimes.com/2026/01/29/u...

Haitians Are Vital to U.S. Health Care. Many Are About to Lose Their Right to Work.

#Haiti: More murderous attacks by the criminal gang led by Jimmy (Barbecue) Chérizier. Friends in Port-au-Prince are again fleeing for their lives. Are the foreign journalists who signal-boosted him ashamed yet? @amywilentz.bsky.social @melindayiti.bsky.social www.alterpresse.org/spip.php?art...

On January 27, the Trump administration issued death sentences to hundreds of thousands of people, most of them in Africa, who are surviving with HIV/AIDS thanks to the most successful foreign-aid program in US history. My article @thenation.com. #Pepfar www.thenation.com/article/worl...

Will Trump End the Most Successful Foreign-Aid Program in US History?

The President’s Emergency Program for AIDS Relief is in danger of shuttering. The decision could kill hundreds of thousands of people and kickstart an epidemic.

Trump wants to distract you from the fact that he gutted the Aviation Safety Committee and ousted the FAA administrator last week. Don’t let him.

Annual conference, this time about facts under fire. Feb. 7 & 8 at the UCIrvine campus.

Some thoughts about my city’s recent tragedy:

LA always expects disaster, but no one imagined this - The Boston Globe

To live in Los Angeles is to know the place is on borrowed time. And yet this month’s fires have been utterly shocking.

Coming up Feb 7-8, another robustly interdisciplinary discussion driven public facing conference at @ucirvine.bsky.social put on by The Forum for Academy & the Public that @amywilentz.bsky.social & I co-direct, this year’s theme “Facts Under Fire” sites.uci.edu/factsunderfi...

Tiffany Trump married a guy named Michael Boulos in 2022, and now each daughter has a father-in-law who Trump appointed to a high position in his new administration – @amywilentz.bsky.social comments in a new episode of "The Children's Hour" – on @thenation.com podcast bit.ly/41uZdgR

My article @thenation.com documented U.S. complicity in #Haiti's crisis, the angle that the #WashPost editorial writers completely missed. Does the Post editorial page ever do any reporting to back up their useless opinions on #Haiti? @amywilentz.bsky.social www.thenation.com/article/worl...

Haitians Don’t Need More “Dumbasses” From the US State Department Weighing In on the Crisis

The solutions offered by current and former American officials rarely, if ever, consider what Haitians actually want.

Good piece, painful roundup: but can US really do something right for Haiti? There have been so many decent possibilities rejected by Biden and his people over the past few years, and the next US administration is of course unlikely to come up with innovative and humane solutions for Haiti.

Rescuing Haiti from Gang Rule

To save Haiti, the United States needs to lead from the front.
