The Bundibugyo strain of Ebola—for which there are no drugs or vaccines—continues to spread in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) and Uganda and threaten neighboring countries in Central Africa. A month after the World Health Organization declared a public health emergency of international concern, many experts are tracing the outbreak’s magnitude in part to disinvestment in global health security, including through the July 2025 dismantling of the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID), which had led the U.S.’s humanitarian and development efforts abroad since the 1960s. The vast majority of staff and projects were terminated; those remaining were absorbed by the U.S. State Department.

Fuck I hope all those "let's vote ourselves out of fascism" Americans wash really hard with the rest of the fascists to get the blood off their hands.

Fuck the lot of them. I love many of you on an individual level but fuck you and your shithole country.

Love, your younger brother to the north.
