Elon Musk says that no one has died because he slashed humanitarian aid. I went to South Sudan to check if that's true. It's not. Within an hour of starting interviews, I had the names of a 10-year-old boy and an 8-year-old girl who had died because of decisions by wealthy men in Washington. The visit that moved me the most was to a remote area that used to have no health care, where women routinely died in childbirth. Then a US-funded maternity clinic opened through @UNFPA in December, and not one woman has died since. I showed up, and people mistakenly thought I was responsible for the clinic. One new mom wanted to name her baby for me, and the village elders thanked me and hailed America's generosity. What they didn't know was that Trump/Musk had cut all funding for UNFPA and that as a result the maternity clinic will close this month, and women will once again be bleeding to death in the dust. Here's a giftlink to my report from ground level about what the shutdown of USAID means: nytimes.com/interactive/2025…

Opinion | Musk Said No One Has Died Since Aid Was Cut. That Isn’t True. (Gift Article)

A journey through the front lines of global poverty shows that when the world’s richest men slash aid for the world’s poorest children, the result is sickness, starvation and death.

We partnered with the Society for the Anthropology of North America for July's “Weekend Reads” to shed light on their interests, activities & members. Meet Angela Stuesse & check out her first book, "Scratching Out a Living." ow.ly/1RrQ50PjKX3 @SANA_Anthro @astuesse
For two decades Angela Stuesse has been studying the structural conditions shaping the lives of undocumented and other low wage workers in the US South, with a focus on global capitalism, citizenship, racism, and the methodologies of activist research. Her current project, tentatively titled #FreeDany and co-authored with its protagonist, Dany Vargas, explores U.S. immigration policy and discourse across the twenty-first century through the life story of one Dreamer and her family.
