The Last Mile with USAID @thelastmilewithusaid.substack.com · 15/06/2026
AFSA is right‼️ Dismantling USAID does not make America safer. It weakens America’s ability to lead, respond to crises, and compete in a dangerous world. Expertise is easy to destroy and far harder to rebuild.

This black-and-white photo titled "Monsieur Beauvoir" was taken by renowned French photographer Robert Doisneau in 1952 at the café Chez Auguste in Paris, reflecting his style of capturing everyday Parisian life with a hint of surrealism.
Robert Doisneau (1912–1994) was a pioneer of humanist street photography, best known for capturing candid, poetic shots of everyday life in Paris. There was this interesting guy called Mr. Beauvoir who sat peacefully at a Paris bar, with a hawk happily perched on his shoulder. The photo pretty much captures the weird and wonderful side of city life, showing the bird's feathers against the shiny windows, which reflect shop signs backward.

8/15 This is one of the biggest military shifts of the war. Ukraine is pushing the battlefield deeper into Russia's operational rear. Not necessarily by capturing land. By denying Russia the ability to use it safely.
