Trump and Musk's gutting of USAID has now killed 300,000 people. They let already purchased food rot.

That food rotting contributed to 300,000 deaths. Mostly children died. Cruelty is the point.
This is a Nazi or Stalin’s level of evil. Such as Stalin’s Holodomor on Ukraine in the 1930s.
And now Trump is going to destroy HIV drugs, condoms, and medicine* that was going to go
to the same areas that just saw the deaths of the 300,000.

with the passage of the Big Ugly Death Bill. People will die, people's lives will be shortened without access to healthcare and prescription drugs.

Dems need to do town halls with actual people telling what will happen to them.

Time Matters.

Chris Murphy said it, not just me, Democrats need to act now, the 2026 elections will be too late.

Attend the protests on Krasnov's birthday. They will be held all across the country. Too bad the DNC can't spend more time helping organize these protests, but they only meet twice a year.

Stopping work on the C-19 virus and its new strains along with vaccines will
kill people end of story. 300 people die every week from COVID. And Russian
misinformation helps in that killing and the GOP, Fox News, and Christo Fascist
pastors push that b.s. all the time too.

and when American's lives are shortened I expect our mortality rate will go down since Magats control the numbers, and unwashed Magats will flock to DC every year to watch the military parade for dear leader.

The mathematician and professor of infectious diseases at Boston University had created a model to predict the human cost of the Department of Government Efficiency’s (Doge) USAid funding cuts.

What Nichols had not appreciated was what was killing people, and just how quickly it appeared to be killing them. A death was estimated to be happening somewhere in the world every three minutes. “It was just shocking,” she said.

As Elon Musk, the head of Doge, arrived at the White House on Friday afternoon to be congratulated by President Trump for his work slashing the federal budget, the number of deaths on Nichols’s tracker hit 300,000, more than 200,000 of them children.

The “optics” of the world’s richest man taking from its poorest and getting thanked for it were “horrifying’, said Nichols, associate professor of global health at the university’s school of public health.

So these numbers are modeled and predicted? Have they been verified to have actually occurred?

For over 50 years doctors and various help agencies have put together protocols that
stop being from dying in 3rd world countries from diarrhea. This is wonton cruelty. Musk
is good with black people dying because he is an Afrikaner from South Africa and sees
black people from Africa as the enemy. And until Musk and Trump’s break up Trump was
actively bringing white farmers from South Africa.
