Snapshots from an America Gone Wrong

Originally written 3/1/25

Snapshots from an America gone wrong. (Thank you to my teacher, FBI, and civil servant friends keeping me aware and staying in there fighting the fight.)

- In an embarrassing act of Godfather cos-play, we have sided with Putin, autocrats, and kleptocracies, making the world an incredibly more dangerous place and showing that our promises mean nothing.

- We are asking teachers to inform on each other. Did someone mention Black History Month (or snub you in the teacher's lounge)? Text the Department of Education cops!

- Thanks to the indiscriminate dismantling of USAID, 400,000 boxes of lifesaving food packets for malnourished children are sitting in a warehouse, the order canceled. Not only is this American business (and their farm suppliers) going to suffer millions of dollars in lost revenue, but children will die as the packets sit here, forever out of reach of those in need.

As a British friend of mine so succinctly put it, "You realize you are the bad guys now?" Indeed.
