Alexander Smith, a contractor for the US Agency for International Development (USAID), said he was given a choice between resignation and dismissal after preparing a presentation on maternal and child mortality among Palestinians, which was cancelled at the last minute by USAID leadership last week.
Smith, a senior adviser on gender, maternal health, child health, and nutrition chose to resign on Monday after four years at USAID. In his resignation letter to the head of the agency, Samantha Power, he complained about the inconsistencies in USAID’s approach to different countries and humanitarian crises, and the general treatment of Palestinians.
“I cannot do my job in an environment in which specific people cannot be acknowledged as fully human, or where gender and human rights principles apply to some, but not to others, depending on their race,” he wrote.
Ugh terrible. Like how do you receive a letter like this and still think “yeah I’m the right one and not a racist POS war mongering profiteer”. Theres no shame anymore
Biden really wants to die on this hill? Wtf fuck Biden who going sit back and let Trump win. I going vote Biden but it will be the last time. After that fuck Democrats.
Wanna bet that Trump will be the Republican candidate in 2028 if he doesn’t win this time?
A reminder that Democrats have started funding campaigns of crazy Republicans as a way to force votes for themselves.
This isn’t going away. They think they’ve found a way to force loyalty without doing anything for us in return. It’s going to crash the system.
There’s a very realistic chance he’ll be dead by then. Modern medicine can only can keep a walking, talking turd alive for so long
He would be barely older than Biden will be this election so don’t be too surprised if that happens!
Surely, hopefully, he is either dead or in prison in 2028, anything else would be a disgrace.
You can run from prison, though. Debbs did, still got 2 million votes.
Biden is a doddering old man who still has this romanticized vision of Israel from the 1970s as the young scrappy country rather than apartheid rightwing ethnostate that bombs its neighbors that it is now. As senator Biden took more AIPAC lobbying money than any other member, so of course he sucks on this issue. But incredibly he’s ignoring his own advisors who warn him he’s going too far and could lose the election as a result. His political instincts are failing him this time.
Can’t imagine you’d have the opportunity to vote for him again anyway. No way he’d run in the next election if he loses this one.
I think it’s more like fuck voting for democrats period
I’m pretty sure they added that part after I commented but… That’s even worse
Yeah no, fuck the democratic party… they may not be straight evil like the Republicans, but they also don’t really give a shit about Americans
