Those children needed to die so Republicans could line the pockets of Argentinian oligarchs.

Is the money saved going to help American citizens in any way? Surely public Healthcare is on the other side of this…

no, but it went to Milie and besenets friends who made investments that desperately need a bailout in argentina.

I’m preaching to the choir here, but Philip Labes has some very poignant protest songs. This recent one is about this headline: youtube.com/watch?v=Xj0A2PTolCc

I’m not sure how this is news since the number is stable from months ago.

Unless my maths, and quick checks were wrong then, this single Musk/Trump/Miller/Vought change is between the amount of death caused by Nazis marching people to death camps, and the total deaths from the Germans in WWII. I know the USAID deaths are less direct and projected, but I wish I saw it framed this way more. At the very least to see how wrong I am

It does seem to put them in the same league for indirectly caused deaths as Hitler, Stalin and Mao.

In anthropology there is the ideas of invisible/structural violence and it feels very similar to this.
