@evan that's definitely true, especially for those who are more directly involved or more specifically looking to stay updated

But in my experience as a person who tries to be generally informed, specific news about Gaza has to cut through a lot more noise like ICE deportations, Ukraine, Central America, and US healthcare regulation (which I need to keep a pulse on for work)

At least in that sense: a general understanding from the public, it's been significantly harder under Trump to maintain

@evan As a result of reduced media coverage, we see less of what's going on over there, so the general population isn't pushing for the US to make a better effort over there

the nation generally has a weaker pulse on what's going on over there so we as a nation aren't able to do our part as well

@evan well the main problem is that, since the US has been so much worse off with Trump that most of the coverage has shifted away from that situation

So like it's not the easiest to discern, but the Trump admin seems to be...completely uninvolved with much of that situation

I'm on hour 27 of trying to fly home

@evan yes but not intentionally

Instead of going back to Chicago tonight I’m kinda stranded in Toronto for the night

@evan A person who abuses science in the name of building a slave to emotionally abuse and then throw away out of disgust of that which they built is worse than any of the others IMO

@pfefferle I like the Brevitē backpack, it's not too big and it has a good amount of organization built in
