As security and humanitarian conditions deteriorate even further, the community needs helpA year ago, it seemed that Haiti had hit rock bottom. Violence had exploded and conditions had deteriorated following President Jovenel Moïse’s assassination in 2021.

5 h. ago ‘We are pissed’: opposition to Trump, slow to energize, now shakes off its slumber

The slash-and-burn approach of Trump and his ‘Doge’ head Elon Musk has reinvigorated resistance to the Republican administrationOn a bright winter’s day this week, a group of protesters fanned out along a palm tree-lined thoroughfare in the picturesque city of Palm Desert to demand that their Republican congressman stand up to Donald Trump and Elon Musk’s slash-and-burn effort to reshape the American government. “You work for us, not Musk!” read one sign. “Remember your oath,” another warned, as a mobile billboard circled nearby, featuring the president and the billionaire tech mogul, with the message: “When he’s snooping through your bank accounts, you dump him.”The group, dozens strong, cheered wildly when the driver of a white Tesla turned the corner and laid on his horn.
