We spent the weekend feeding USAID into the wood chipper. 

Could gone to some great parties.

Did that instead.U.S. policy was to help bring an end to apartheid and establish a nonracial, democratic government. In response to this policy and the Act, USAID/South Africa was responsible for financing projects that apartheid victims viewed as critical in promoting social, political, and economic change through peaceful means.

The mission enabled community consultation and ensured that the United States did not impose foreign-defined solutions to local problems. USAID created projects and activities to respond to the priorities of the black community and its leaders, maximized black participation and leadership, and ensured activities had a linkage to the general objectives of U.S. policy.

First-year funding for the program was $25 million, which was raised to $50 million the second year. The main project areas were community outreach and leadership development to redress the repression of black-led institutions; educational support and training to address the educational crisis in South Africa; black private enterprise development to combat the inhibiting effects of apartheid–induced discrimination in private enterprise; university grants to help create a new generation of economic and political leaders; human rights; legal assistance; labor union training; and health and nutrition

Know your immigration rights

You have guaranteed rights under the U.S. Constitution, regardless of your immigration status.

If law enforcement asks about your immigration status

Stay calm. Don’t run, argue or resist. You have the right to remain silent. Don’t lie or provide false documents. If asked for immigration papers, you must show them if you have them. If an officer asks to search you, you can say no.

If you are stopped by police, ICE, or Border Patrol

Stay calm. Don’t obstruct officers. You have the right to remain silent - say it out loud. You don’t have to consent to a search. If arrested, you have the right to a lawyer. ICE won’t provide one. Don’t answer questions about your immigration status. Memorize phone numbers of family and a lawyer.

If police or ICE come to your home

Do not open the door unless agents show a warrant signed by a judge. Ask them to slide the warrant under the door or show it through a window. You have the right to remain silent - say so out loud. If they force entry, don’t resist, but state: “I do not consent to this search.”

If you are detained or arrested

Ask for a lawyer immediately. Do not sign anything or answer questions without a lawyer. You have the right to call your family or a lawyer. If detained by ICE, you can request a list of free or low-cost legal services. Remember your immigration number (“A” number) and share it with family.
If you need a lawyer
Police must provide a lawyer if you’re arrested, but ICE does not. You have the right to private communication with a lawyer.
If you are stopped in transit
Car: you must show your driver’s license, registration, and proof of insurance. Bus/train: Border control can ask about immigration status, but you have the right to remain silent. Airports: Agents can ask about your status when entering or leaving the U.S. but legal residents are only required to confirm identity and residency.

Diversity offices, training and accountability

Trump's order will immediately gut Biden's wide-ranging effort to embed diversity and inclusion practices in the federal workforce, the nation's largest at about 2.4 million people.
Biden had mandated all agencies to develop a diversity plan, issue yearly progress reports, and contribute data for a government-wide dashboard to track demographic trends in hiring and promotions. The administration also set up a Chief Diversity Officers Council to ove see the implementation of the DEl plan. The government released its first DEl progress report in 2022 that included demographic data for the federal workforce, which is about 60% white and 55% male overall, and more than 75% white and more than 60% male at the senior executive level.
