Heading into 2026, every pillar of the world order we have known since World War II’s end is crumbling, but despite this, a majority of electorates believe helping others is a reliable way to help oneself. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/commentary/2025/12/30/world/multilateralism-still-alive/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #commentary #worldnews #donaldtrump #aid #hunger #development #socialwelfare

EDIT: only $48 to go!
I've lost the part time job that was my only stable source of income starting January 1st, and I need a buffer on my bills to get through January. I set a goal for $500 to give me enough time to figure out how I'm going to survive without this. So far I've raised $402/500, so I'm only $98 away.
Anything helps, even just a few bucks. This shouldn't be a regular thing, I just need a little time to figure something out.

I just donated to support the people of Jamaica. 🇯🇲
The aftermath of Hurricane Melissa has left many families in #Jamaica struggling to find basic necessities like food and clean water. My friends at The Authentic Caribbean Foundation is working to send a shipment of supplies to those in need, but we need your help to cover the shipping costs.
Whether it’s a repost to share this mission, or a small donation—every act of solidarity makes a difference.
A Japanese government program that sends volunteers to developing countries, and that marks its 60th year of operations this year, has been facing challenges securing personnel amid declining public interest. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2025/11/18/japan/japan-overseas-volunteer-program-60-years/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #japan #japanoverseascooperationvolunteers #aid #development #volunteers #jica

The #Trump admin has developed plans for a shift in #homelessness #policy that would slash support for long-term housing programs…& critics say it could place as many as 170k formerly #homeless people at risk of returning to the streets.
Pivoting from #housing #aid, the approach would shift billions to short-term programs that impose work rules, help #police dismantle #encampments, & require [force] the #unhoused to accept treatment for mental health or addiction.

The expected shift, which would be the most consequential in a generation, is detailed in a 100pg notice from #HUD, slated for release in coming days, that would govern >$3.5 billion in Continuum of Care funds, the main source of federal money for #homelessness.
While #Trump has long pledged to pursue tougher homelessness policies, such as camping bans & treatment mandates, the long-anticipated document, reviewed by NYT, outlines changes that would go much deeper & faster than expected.
By cutting #aid for permanent #housing by TWO-THIRDS next year, the plan risks a sudden end of support for most of the people the Continuum places in such housing nationwide, beginning as soon as January. All are #disabled — a condition of the aid — & many are 50 or older [WTF?]. The document does not explain how they would find housing.
