Agree with @jamellebouie.net that it's pretty clear Elon Musk wanted to eviscerate USAID *for the purpose of killing as many African people as possible.* Mass death wasn't an accidental byproduct of his "deep state" paranoia; it was a key mission of DOGE. www.nytimes.com/2026/07/29/o...
One might even see his destruction of the United States Agency for International Development — responsible, so far, for an estimated 700,000 deaths worldwide — as consistent with his concern with falling white birthrates relative to those in places such as sub-Saharan Africa, where U.S.A.I.D. was active. After all, one way to secure a future for Western children, in this zero-sum view of the world, would be to starve African ones.

The Constitution was an absolute rag the moment it was adopted and we failed to fix it after the Civil War and we’ve been living with that abhorrent mistake ever since. This crisis and accompanying collapse is another opportunity to set things right and we can’t afford to think so small.

I'm not sure how you can be against removing this man from office right now. What will it take? A nuke being dropped? It's too late then. The purpose of impeachment and the 25th Amendment is to prevent that type of thing from happening, not just to react to it.

Trump created a crisis that could end the American Empire and destroy the global economy. Now he’s looking at a no-win situation and hoping someone or something will bail him out. This is what happens when you hand power to a monster like Trump. jaredyatessexton.substack.com/p/the-plot-i...
