This is what being an ally looks like! Thank you, John Oliver, for using your privilege to hold Hoffman accountable. For any men wondering ‘what do I do’, this is it. You speak up and don’t let abusers get away with idiotic responses.

I’ve read about it because I work in international relations, but it’s definitely not on the radar in the United States. TBH, the U.S. is a shitshow right now politically and the State Department is being gutted. Unfortunately I don’t think the United States is going to be a source of help.

A representative from my state (Florida) introduced a bill to allow all TSP residents to remain in the US. I have already called and written my rep with support.

I would. I would donate as well. It just is so terrible that the news does not cover it internationally very much. I did not know until I read your post and I would like to help people in need that are being ignored.

If you’re only worried about doing a good job kinda stuff, go! If it’s trying to avoid getting shot, however, maybe not.

Do you mean in the civil war? Because I think you’re justified in that as a citizen of your country.

That’s scary and please do what you can to get safe.

That is terrible. Do you have a link for donations for Hondurans who are in such a terrible situation?

Thank you for this! Honduras has been such a shitshow and no one in the media talks about it because maybe then we’d have to talk about The Obama/Clinton State Department’s complicity in giving the 09 coup legitimacy. What happened to Berta Carceres and the spike in sexual assault and murders of women and activists…

Thank you. I’m afraid of it getting drowned out by all the other great happenings in the other threads, but I hope people will take it seriously even if the don’t comment. If they’re redirected to the links I included, then I’ll feel like I did good by everyone.

I had no idea and I try too keep up with international news. Stay strong and be safe.

Your soup looks so good and that chicken is an amazing color.

You seem capable, but I don’t think any of us can make that decision for you. Your safety and well-being is of the utmost importance. You have to be comfortable with whatever decision you make after analyzing all the risks and rewards.

I hope you stay safe and. . . i’m hearing about this from you, too. Disturbing. I’ll start talking to my people and spreading the word of what’s happening.

I made the NY Times recipe for ham bone soup last week, but I had to use a smoked ham shank instead. It has navy beans, cabbage, ham, carrots, onion, celery, and kale in it. Very tasty and hearty for cooler weather.

You can talk about anything here. We do a terrible job of covering problems in areas we don’t stand to benefit a great deal from. Many people are also wrapped up in all the shitty stuff going on with 45 & his administration.

And increasingly crappy at covering American stuff, I fear.

I have heard about this and it sounds scary as fuck. Stay safe

American news is really bad at covering not-American stuff :(

This is terrifying...and I haven’t heard a word about it. That’s shameful. Please stay safe and thank you for bringing this to our attention. :/
