Same here. I am so, so sorry that this is happening to you.


NP. Also sorry to see this happen . I worked for a USAID contractor decades ago. Everyone I worked with was dedicated and passionate about their work. No one should be treated this way. Elon Musk is so callous that he can’t begin to fathom what humanitarian work is or means.


USAID lost its way and the baby is being thrown out with the bathwater. Their careless spending, arrogance and bloated bureaucracy got them in this position and now they'll suffer the consequences.


Butthurt because you didn't get the job you wanted with AID?

They're being evacuated this week and if not home by Saturday, Trump is sending the military in.


You’re kidding me - that is so traumatic for everyone, but will the kids really be pulled out of school and their home like that?


Apparently exceptions will be made on a case by case basis: https://www.usaid.gov/?fbclid=IwZXh0bgNhZW0CMTEAAR311t5OJD_H-hBLJDhGa5arCQSwQ7GWxz_HW7Jm-WcBHMdWP2oEGlbPLrY_aem_RPsprbCJcdf_OCMO1tYJ6w

If you have friends in Maryland and Virginia, maybe you can ask them to get in touch with their reps. A lot of people--even smart ones--aren't aware of everything happening.


In MD and VA we used to have Republican representatives and senators, and if we still did they would have some pull. But now all the local congress people are Democrats.


If Democrats were in the White House we wouldn't have this chaotic mess.

Will this stand?


For many, that is literally impossible. Obviously they don't even know where some of these people and their families are.

All they do is post mean jabs with no substance. Ignore. They're like 5th grade bullies.

I just don't believe that. This will have to be reversed and any terminations pursuant to illegal, unconstitutional conduct are invalid.
