Protests help us see each other; they make it feel safer to refuse to obey the dictator, and make it more possible for us to organize mass non-cooperation. It’s an essential step in the process. 5964151519
Reposted by Elisabeth WickeriTom Kellogg @tom-kellogg.bsky.social · 14/02/2025Some good news on the foreign aid funding freeze fight! As many have seen, the DC District Court has just issued a TRO against USG. A big initial victory, but there's a long road ahead. Some initial thoughts on the ruling, but first, here is the @nytimes.com writeup: www.nytimes.com/2025/02/14/u...nytimes.comJudge Orders Trump Administration to Resume Foreign Aid SpendingThe judge faulted the logic of a blanket freeze on foreign aid spending and found that groups that depend on the aid had made a strong initial showing of “irreparable harm.” 13013

Elisabeth Wickeri @ewickeri.bsky.social · 02/02/2025And Elon tweeting that USAID is a criminal organization that has to die -- unhinged, & another level of constraints that this sector hasn't realized it needs to contend with. How will partner NGOs react to news of (what?) information he wanted to obtain? How will this sector build trust again? 000
