  We construct a supergravity-Maxwell theory with a novel embedding of the
Fayet-Iliopoulos D-term, leading to spontaneous supersymmetry breaking. The
gauging of the R-symmetry is not required and a gravitino mass is allowed for a
generic vacuum. When matter couplings are introduced, an uplift through a
positive definite contribution to the scalar potential is obtained. We observe
a notable similarity to the $\overline{D3}$ uplift constructions and we give a
natural description in terms of constrained multiplets.
