My companion piece explains the film’s context: USAID’s dismantling is estimated to have already killed 600,000 people, ⅔ of them children. Officials simply deny any harm, while halting data monitoring and firing inspectors general who’d have documented it. 2/

I helped make a film, out this week, called “Rovina’s Choice,” about the deaths this man without conscience or accountability has caused — already 600,000, ⅔ of them children.

They were promised a lifeline to 'graduate' from poverty. Then it was taken away
Thousands of South Sudanese refugees and impoverished locals in Uganda saw a brighter future with a new USAID-funded project. They'd get $205 and coaching to build a business. Then came the cuts.

If you want to know why we can’t give Trump a blank check, look what he did to USAID — illegally dismantling an agency that saved millions of lives and literally burning food meant for starving people.
As I told former USAID staff this week: their work was the best of America.

Good news: Some checks & balances in this government still work.
2 judges order SNAP must continue (especially since THERE IS A CONTINGENCY FUND FOR SNAP) during the shutdown
Bad news: many will experience delays in getting benefits. (USDA & states need time to access and distribute the benefits.)

I’m inspired by hundreds of former USAID federal workers still fighting for democracy, development and community action. Trump and DOGE may have snuffed out USAID, and sacrificed hundreds of thousands of former beneficiaries, but the spirit and solidarity of its staff persist.

In case you don’t know: the regime has already broken the law to pay for the Pentagon’s payroll. What Johnson is really saying is the regime won’t break the law to feed people.
Mike Johnson on SNAP funding: "I got a summary of the whole legal analysis and it certainly looks legitimate to me. The contingency funds are not legally available to cover the benefits right now."

Trump gave Amazon a $16 billion tax break to accelerate its investments this year.
Now, Amazon will replace 600,000 workers with robots as Jeff Bezos accelerates his plan to automate warehouses.
No. Corporate tax breaks do not trickle down to workers. Never have. Never will.
