There is so damn much trauma in the world. Endless amounts of it. Acknowledging someone else’s trauma doesn’t take away or delegitimize your own. There’s plenty to go around.

That’s what bothers me the most about whataboutism and enforced equivalencies.

“No, Speaker Johnson — the No Kings rally on October 18 is not a hate America rally. In fact, it’s quite the contrary: It’s a love America rally.” #NoKings

Timeline Qatar, Idaho:
Source: @thegodpodcast.com
A 🧵:

Step 1: 2017.
POTUS Trump calls Qatar “a funder of terrorism at a very high level.”

Step 2: 2017: Later that same year.
He sells Qatar $12 billion worth of F-15 fighter jets.

María Corina Machado put me in a bad mood yesterday with this. It is way too much ass kissing in the world. It’s also too many people who think everything is about them. I personally do not like either of these “types”.
