All of the visuals have been taken down

This is just one small part of it but it’s intensely creepy.

USAID logos and photos showing the humanitarian work the agency does around the globe were removed from its offices last week, multiple sources familiar with the situation told CNN.

“All of the visuals have been taken down. These are like large-scale photos of our work in developing countries that are in our lobbies, in our galleys, in communal kitchens, hallways,” a USAID employee said. “An order also came down to individual bureaus and offices to remove all USAID artwork and signage.”

It’s so ugly. So brutal. So mean. It says “Fuck all this humanitarian shit about feeding people, vaccinating people, rescuing people, protecting people.”

I get that humanitarian aid can be viewed as just a big bribe to get people on Our Team, but it’s still humanitarian aid. It still does actually aid. Stripping away all evidence of that is a hideous portent.
