βOn Friday, February 7, 2025, at 11:59 pm (EST) all USAID direct hire personnel will be placed on administrative leave globally, with the exception of designated personnel responsible for mission-critical functions, core leadership and specially designated programs. Essential personnel expected to continue working will be informed by Agency leadership by Thursday, February 6, at 3:00pm (EST). For USAID personnel currently posted outside the United States, the Agency, in coordination with missions and the Department of State, is currently preparing a plan, in accordance with all applicable requirements and laws, under which the Agency would arrange and pay for return travel to the United States within 30 days and provide for the termination of PSC and ISC contracts that are not determined to be essential. The Agency will consider case-by-case exceptions and return travel extensions based on personal or family hardship, mobility or safety concerns, or other reasons. For example, the Agency will consider exceptions based on the timing of dependentsβ school term, personal or familial medical needs, pregnancy, and other reasons. Further guidance on how to request an exception will be forthcoming. Thank you for your serviceβ
USAIDβs website has been deleted, all that is left is a note saying all personnel are now on administrative leave and personnel outside the US are to be brought home. Completely illegal, no act of congress or even executive order was signed to dismantle the agency

Easy: get unelected private citizens with no accountability out of the sensitive machinery of govt, protect our privacy, and investigate DOGE until It's made an official accountable agency.

I've heard a number of people say, "I live in a safe blue district/state--there's no point in calling my reps since they're already on the right side." Yes, there is: You can call and insist that they be among the loudest voices on the issues you care about, since they can afford to be.
There seem to be a lot of misconceptions about DEI and what a "DEI hiring" is supposed to mean. So let me use this thread to explain.
If you are a caucasian American citizen who speaks Spanish, I encourage you to do so in the presence of ICE to create more confusion and chaos.
Why does it seem like all the citizens who are "accidentally" detained by ICE are Native Americans or Hispanic? Because I heard they don't see race.
In my world, βthe talkβ is what Black parents have w/our kids, about how to survive an encounter w/police who see them as a threat because of our skin color.
Latino families have their talk, w/kids even younger, about ICE who see them as criminals: βIf we disappearβ¦β

Yes, this administration is dangerous and cruel, but they are also shockingly dim and incompetent.
Opportunities are everywhere.
Make everything as hard as possible. Resist every demand. Refuse entry without a warrant. Donβt take the buyout. Their problem solving skills are π
oh wait, Donny canβt call up the Aviation Safety Committee β because right now, thereβs no one at the other end to pick up the phone. Donny canβt get the answers heβs demanding because thereβs no one left in government with the expertise to figure out what the fuck just happened. the stupid shit fired them all.
