So many possibilities!
USAID was also investigating Starlink restricting access to Ukraine to assist Russia.
Could these misleading reports simply be a distraction from that massive conflict of interest?
Yep. It’s also possible this is a distraction from us remembering USAID was investigating Starlink in Ukraine for shutting off satellite access to help Russia.
Money can be exchanged for goods and services.
If we cannot make a determination of the legitimacy of subscriptions, we equally cannot conclude if it was funneled either.
Might want to make sure what you post is correct then, otherwise it looks like you’re pushing a narrative.
No problemo buddy!
Thanks for the update. So it seems to have been legit payments then, neato.
Can you cite a specific example? How did you come up with the 80%?
“80% of our budget is affected” is not equal to “80% of our budget comes from here”.
Funny how you posted a right leaning publication’s piece about a left leaning publication’s funding without seeing the irony.
Also, (unsurprisingly), the article is wrong:

The only payments received by Politico LLC from USAID were for two subscriptions to E&E—an energy and environment publication it produces—totaling $44,000 over two years.
The content linked states the media organizations funded are Independent. How is independent media propaganda, and do you have examples to share with the class?
Remember, the right has propaganda outlets too. This is by design to keep us at odds with each other.
I agree it was a fuck up. I also agree the fuck ups happened due to the sheer amount of assholes, who are not the people detained.
And if it was a fuck up, why haven’t they been released?
Should all brown people just start carrying documentation around everywhere?
Once again, maybe they should have figured out what qualified as acceptable documentation of Navajo citizenship before detaining them for failing to provide it.
The listed immigration documents do not apply to indigenous people because they aren’t immigrants, not because they’re here illegally.
You’d think they would’ve already done that as a bare minimum prior to detainment efforts.
The only reason ICE agents have to doubt these documents is discrimination, especially if these are verifiable Navajo nation members.
In other words: if you’re brown, you’d better have the papers they want you to have, which are not defined.
How are Navajo citizens here illegally? Which country do you think they should be deported to?:
It’s not a theory. The current Admin’s actions have caused Navajo citizens to be detained by ICE:
What reason does ICE have to detain them if they didn’t pick them up with the intent to deport them?

Other way around, lower cognitive abilities are linked to conservative views.
5·5 days agoConcepts of a recipe.
It’s ok to be ignorant to goings on in the world. But you just admitted to reacting emotionally by assuming the standpoint of the political left, so your opinion is no longer valid.
Getting the feeling you’re just wanting to argue or something. It’s not a theory. USAID was investigating Starlink for aiding Russia by restricting Ukraine access. That is at minimum a conflict of interest.

I’m not here to squabble. If you are I suggest goading someone else.
