In Umpiem Mai camp in Thailand, which is home to more than 10,000 people who fled the brutal civil war in neighbouring Myanmar, a resident and a health worker told ABC that multiple patients who were reliant on oxygen have now died.

“The medical workers left without even taking the equipment and the patients had to return to their homes, including some who had to be carried out,” said Sulaiman Mawlawi, a camp resident. “It was a very tragic moment for us.”

      Grandma died due to lack of oxygen and they didn’t care, why should they care about some “shithole country”.

      They don’t care. I’d be shocked if this news even enters their brain.

      All they saw was the headline “USAID Funding Cut”. They didn’t care about the consequences. They are focused on Red, White, and Blueland now and don’t fuck one iota of a fuck about what’s going on in a country they probably didn’t think even existed.

      I think the real answer for most of MAGA that saw it would be: “It sucks but America can’t solve everyone’s problems, oh well.”

      But I doubt the news ever reaches a shocking percentage.

    Trump and people choking to death (see his COVID response), what else is new?

      Careful, people might try to tell you that you share responsibility too. I’ve had waaaaay too many people try to tell me that I, a trans woman who voted for Harris, must somehow share responsibility for my own oppression and the oppression of others at GOP hands.

      Fucking disgusting.

      Edit: one person has gone far enough to compare me to Martin Niemoller, a Nazi supporter who switched sides after his face got eaten by leopards.

        What the Biden administration and the US writ large have done to Palestine is unambiguously genocide. Biden, Harris, and every politician who clapped for Netanyahu can rot in hell.

        What sickens me is the obvious the fact that Trump was only going to make the genocide even much worse while destroying human rights in every other aspect of his presidency, and everyone who failed to meaningfully vote against him knew or should absolutely have known that.
