    We shouldn’t downplay the suffering of any genocide relative to proportionality and much respect to Macklemore for remaining vocal about this, but I just want to bring proportional attention to another atrocity:

    Trump, Musk, and all enabling Republicans are responsible for at least 600,000 deaths in just 1 year’s time by the gutting of USAID known to have massive repercussions globally, and dwarfing the civilian death toll in Gaza and Ukraine, combined.

    This matters because I still see a lot of people espousing false equivalence both sides bullshit on the eve of the US midterm elections. These deaths simply would not have occurred under a Kamala Harris presidency. Food for thought.
