No we aren't.

"It's impolite to call Musk a genocidal white nationalist because "civility" in American discourse functions not as a neutral procedural norm but as an asymmetric weapon to shield the powerful from accurate moral characterization while policing the tone of those who object."

"Can I just clarify one thing?” she asked, not waiting for a response. “This group seems very focused on what GH does to respond to infectious diseases, but we haven’t spoken much about our other lifesaving work. Just as one example, we support lifesaving care to mothers for emergency inter- ventions like postpartum hemorrhaging and eclampsia, two of the leading causes of pregnancy-related deaths. You would also consider that kind of work to fit into our ‘priority number one,’ right?” Another brief silence followed as Joel watched the clock, and it was Paul Seong who broke it. “I’d say that’s more of a number two,” he said dismissively, looking to Joel and Ken for affirmation. “That sounds right,” Joel agreed, and the others nodded. Nida, shaking visibly, scribbled furiously in her notebook. And just like that, it was decided. Without even a cursory nod to data or expertise, USAID’s leadership had determined purely on a whim that lifesaving maternal health services were not a priority for this administration. "

The whole article is stomach turning

It’s hard to accept no one is going to jail for the millions of deaths expected from USAID cuts.

Yes, but have you taken into account the argument that those numbers are either hysterics or don't count because they're not American????

Have you said "Thank you" to Elon Musk even once today for getting our reckless government spending back on track?!

" It’s also brought attention to an eyebrow-raising decision by the Trump administration made almost exactly a year ago. Targeted by sweeping cuts like other agencies as part of Elon Musk’s crusade to gut federal spending, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention cleared out almost its entire Vessel Sanitation Program, a key group that ensures ships are properly sanitized to prevent them from becoming the type of plague frigate the world is now dealing with. According to CBS News reporting back in April 2025, all full-time employees working on the VSP were fired, including the epidemiologist that led the CDC’s outbreak response on cruise ships. Only a smaller group of twelve US Public Health Service officers stayed on board. And just a single epidemiologist, who was still in the early stages of their training, remained in the VSP team to investigate outbreaks at the time of reporting. "

“Casting a Black woman to play a White woman in a foundational work of European literature is no more right than casting a White man to play Shaka Zulu!” - Elon Musk

"but like I said the other day, NBC cast Vanessa Williams in The Odyssey in 1997 and no one gave a shit because this outrage is manufactured by racist incel billionaires from South Africa who no longer touch grass."

"They showed this version in schools for maybe 15 years and literally no one in my class had any reaction to a black woman being in it, someone yesterday said Eartha Kitt was Helen of Troy in 1950 and I looked it up and it was Orson Welles who cast her because she was a cabaret dancer and was hot!"

5/22/2026 6:39:27 PM

Williams wasn't helen of troy in that version of the odyssey. The eartha kitt is a good point tho. Still think there are more beautiful black women they could have picked. She just kinda gives off a grace jones vibe
