Heartless American Pigs -- DIgby

https://digbysblog.net/2025/04/21/heartless-american-pigs/



That piece is just heartbreaking but you should watch it anyway. And it’s not just them:

The World Food Programme suspended malnutrition treatment for 650,000 malnourished women and children in Ethiopia this week due to severe funding shortages, the U.N. agency said, with millions more at risk of losing access to aid.

WFP gets financing from 15-20 donors including the United States but many of them have cut funding this year, said Zlatan Milisic, WFP Country Director in Ethiopia. The agency has received exemptions from U.S. President Donald Trump’s aid freeze that has disrupted humanitarian work around the world, he added, but little for 2025 so far.

We keep hearing about “exemptions” and DOGE restoring people and grants but they never seem to actually materialize. People are already getting sick from the lack of HIV meds and now we are allowing children to starve because Trump and Musk are immoral imbeciles.
