This also screws over the tens of thousands of #Americans that have already been working for a couple of years to design & create these advanced networks, of which *I* am one.

#Starlink is more expensive, slower & has a single point of failure. That failure of course being #elonmusk

Team finding kidnapped Ukrainian children scrapped by Doge

Humanitarian Research Lab based at #Yale University is latest organisation to fall victim to federal budget cuts
https://www.telegraph.co.uk/us/news/2025/03/14/team-finding-kidnapped-ukrainian-children-cut-by-doge/

"more than 20,000 #Ukrainian children have been kidnapped by the Russians since the 2022 invasion...

The Yale team located hundreds of #children who were unlawfully brought to #Russia...

"I find it odious when the world’s richest man cackles about #America shoving programs for needy children “into the wood chipper.”

When you meet those dying #children and look into their eyes and hold their hands and feel faint heartbeats flutter, you can’t bear the gleeful laughter. You see children just like your own and hang your head in shame."

That is not true... the efforts by #Musk & #Trump are already leading children to die...
