Stalin’s famous quote, “a single death is a tragedy; a million deaths are a statistic,” speaks to how Americans have become immune to death and suffering. History speaks to this with our past culture of slavery, lynchings, Jim Crow laws, and our destruction of Native American culture. America should not learn about this past pain anymore.
Stephanie Saldana, in a recent America magazine article titled "What Happened in Syria," states: “Our refusal to help those in need, our capacity for cruelty, and our willingness to look the other way in the face of suffering.” ADVERTISEMENT Ukraine must pay America with their minerals for their suffering. Fifty thousand Palestinians' lives, most women and children, and their suffering does not matter.
Students on a visa protesting for Palestinians must leave. Only certain Americans are allowed to protest, storm the Capitol, injure and kill the Capitol police because they protested on behalf of Trump. Kilmore Abrego Garcia came to the United States in fear of his life from gangs.
He in the U.S. legally after seeking asylum, married and was raising three disabled children.
He was suddenly "mistakenly" deported to a mega prison in El Salvador. His life does not matter because he was not born American. Federal workers do not matter.
Research is not important. Helping with poverty, famine and illness in Third World countries does not matter. Diversity no longer matters.
Our sacred environment does not matter. What matters is America becoming rich and making money. Through all this, Trump signs his executive orders and plays golf.
America, please wake up! Tim Haskamp , Rochester.
