Anjali Dayal is a professor at Fordham University. I regard her as a social media friend because we share many interests, including an enthusiasm for the United Nations. I don’t usually just post a series of Bluesky posts, but she speaks the truth very well in this series.

I just want to add, since this is breaking containment, that this can't be made right. these people, each one a whole universe, are gone. there can only be justice for the perpetrators; public remorse & restitution; & reform to ensure future aid systems are more just and less prone to imperial whims— Anjali Dayal (@anjalikdayal.bsky.social) 2026-05-05T20:31:28.892Z

something that really strikes me is how the US destroyed partnerships between people who wanted to help their own communities & the international programs serving them. the people who Musk betrayed weren't passive recipients of largesse—they were active participants in efforts to make a better world— Anjali Dayal (@anjalikdayal.bsky.social) 2026-05-05T20:31:28.893Z

This man is one of history’s great criminals now and by his own account he got that way because he doesn’t understand that other people exist even if he can’t see them— Anjali Dayal (@anjalikdayal.bsky.social) 2026-06-23T19:49:31.942Z

this important thread from @ldobsonhughes.bsky.social documents some of the lives lost from Musk's USAID cuts. they were here, they mattered, and we'll never get to know them because the richest man in the world decided he was happy—delighted, even—for them to die— Anjali Dayal (@anjalikdayal.bsky.social) 2026-06-24T23:15:33.138Z

take this man, who *rented a canoe* to try & get his mother cholera treatment after the Trump admin held up $20 million to fund health programs in South Sudan—as ProPublica reports, that's 1/8 of what the administration approved for Kristi Noem's private jets www.propublica.org/article/usai…— Anjali Dayal (@anjalikdayal.bsky.social) 2026-06-24T23:31:43.693Z

Updating – I posted too soon. Anjali is still adding to the thread.

or these little babies, whose rights to grow and flourish and dream of bikes are gone because Elon Musk thinks people who need some help don't deserve to live if he can't see them on a zoom call bsky.app/profile/ldob…— Anjali Dayal (@anjalikdayal.bsky.social) 2026-06-24T23:35:04.495Z

it isn't right for any one country or any one person to be able to wreck life-sustaining aid and assistance this unilaterally, but since it's happened, the very, very, very least we can do now is to make sure there's accountability and restitution— Anjali Dayal (@anjalikdayal.bsky.social) 2026-06-24T23:40:34.520Z
