I hear that desire to not rank crimes a LOT. It always comes from folks who deny the genocidal European conquest and occupation of Africa, and the ensuing slaughter of tens of millions. The planet literally cooled into the Little Ice Age as the Europeans killed huge numbers on both sides of the Atlantic:

The history of slavery and "its devastating consequences and long-lasting impacts" must never be forgotten, said British acting U.N. Ambassador James Kariuki, speaking on behalf of mainly Western nations, including some that enslaved Africans.

Western nations are committed to tackling the root causes that persist today, he said, pointing to racial discrimination, racism, xenophobia and intolerance.<--Bullshit. Hitler's Nazi eugenics remains rampant among Westerners.

If you look at Trump's insane cabinet meetings, the people next to him are Marco Rubio & Pete Hegseth. Neither is working on inflation or affordability, both of which were heavily cited by GOP voters as the top reason they voted for Epstein's best friend to hide the Epstein files. Rubio & Hegseth overwhelmingly work on war, and Hegseth in fact has renamed his department to the Department of War, and his own title to Secretary of War. Yet many claim they voted for Trump cuz he's a peacenik.

When asked if Alvaro Velasquez's story haunted Wightman, he said, "Yeah. It's very difficult as a superintendent, a father, to think about if something like that were to have happened to any of my kids."

The surge of Israeli applicants for Portuguese citizenship began after Portugal passed its “law of return” in 2015, allowing the descendants of Portuguese Sephardic Jews who were affected by the 16th-century Inquisition to apply for nationality.

The Portuguese government had announced plans to end the policy in December 2023, saying at the time that its purpose of reparation had been “fulfilled.” However, rather than fully abolishing the route, the law was revised...

pubic opinion of white folks did not change much at all in the 60s. White Americans overwhelmingly continued to support the segregationists. When MLK was finally shot dead after many arrests, beatings & murder attempts, his approval was just over 30%. It was only after his murder that he became more popular because he was safely dead. Those same people and their descendants are the biggest fans of ICE right now. This very much includes the 25% of GOP voters who aren't white.
