\u201cMPs are finally being given a vote on the aid cuts TODAY (expected at 4pm). But ministers are pulling out all the stops to try and win.\n\nMPs should not be fooled. Unless they vote against the aid cuts today, this government will never reverse them. #UKAid\nhttps://t.co/rXD5OvFjwp\u201d— Global Justice Now (@Global Justice Now) 1626172453
\u201cWe are disappointed by the Gov'ts decision to cut #UKAid. This will have a devastating impact on women and girls living in conflict and post-conflict settings around the world during a global pandemic, but we are committed to continuing our work to advocate for women in crises.\u201d— Gender Action for Peace and Security (GAPS) (@Gender Action for Peace and Security (GAPS)) 1626192741
\u201cEx-PM Sir John Major furious about foreign aid cuts - suggesting Govt\u2019s plan is \u201cthe stamp of Little England, not Great Britain\u201d. \n\nSome Tory MPs fear consequences in Southern seats where Lib Dems are already snapping at their heels.\u201d— Pippa Crerar (@Pippa Crerar) 1626198348
Trump and Musk are on an unconstitutional rampage, aiming for virtually every corner of the federal government. These two right-wing billionaires are targeting nurses, scientists, teachers, daycare providers, judges, veterans, air traffic controllers, and nuclear safety inspectors. No one is safe. The food stamps program, Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid are next. It’s an unprecedented disaster and a five-alarm fire, but there will be a reckoning. The people did not vote for this. The American people do not want this dystopian hellscape that hides behind claims of “efficiency.” Still, in reality, it is all a giveaway to corporate interests and the libertarian dreams of far-right oligarchs like Musk. Common Dreams is playing a vital role by reporting day and night on this orgy of corruption and greed, as well as what everyday people can do to organize and fight back. As a people-powered nonprofit news outlet, we cover issues the corporate media never will, but we can only continue with our readers’ support. |
