🔥 Weekly U.S. Badass: Ida B. Wells

Ida B. Wells was born into slavery in 1862 — and instead of waiting for freedom, she kicked the damn door open. She was a journalist, activist, data analyst, public speaker, and all-around hellraiser who turned the crime of lynching into a global scandal and made sure the world saw America’s ugliest mirror.

When three of her friends were lynched in Memphis for running a successful Black-owned grocery store, she didn’t cower. She got louder. She picked up her pen and launched an investigative crusade that documented hundreds of lynchings, exposed white supremacist lies, and tore apart the propaganda that said these killings were about “justice.”

Her findings were brutal: most lynchings were not about crime, but control — punishment for success, independence, or perceived disrespect. She named names. Printed facts. Traveled the country under threat. She even went international, speaking across Europe while U.S. diplomats scrambled to silence her. Tough shit — she kept going.

Ida B. Wells didn’t just challenge racism — she challenged cowardice. She co-founded the NAACP but refused to stick around when they got too soft. She organized boycotts. She ran for office. She taught Black women that their voice wasn’t optional — it was essential.

Her enemies burned down her press. She built another. They tried to smear her as dangerous. She wore it like armor.

Ida B. Wells wasn’t just a badass for her time — she’s a warning to ours: if you stay silent in the face of injustice, history will bury you. If you speak out, you just might change the damn world.

“The way to right wrongs is to turn the light of truth upon them.”

This week’s U.S. badass didn’t just fight back — she dragged white supremacy into the spotlight and made sure it couldn’t hide again.

🌍 Weekly International Badass: Steve Biko

Steve Biko was born December 18, 1946, in King William's Town, South Africa — and by the time he was a teenager, the apartheid regime already had him marked. Not because he carried a gun. But because he carried ideas — the kind that scared racists more than bullets ever could.

He co-founded the South African Students' Organisation (SASO) and launched the Black Consciousness Movement, a grassroots uprising of the mind. Biko’s philosophy was radical in its simplicity: “The most potent weapon in the hands of the oppressor is the mind of the oppressed.” So he went to work unarming that weapon — by rebuilding Black identity, dignity, and political awareness from the inside out.

He was banned, censored, and surveilled. The apartheid government tried to erase him from public life. Biko answered by building clinics, schools, and cultural centers in secret. He wrote essays that burned like fire through smuggled pamphlets and whispered networks. He taught people to stand taller even when the state wanted them crawling.

On August 18, 1977, Steve Biko was arrested at a police roadblock. He was held in solitary confinement, tortured for days, and beaten into a coma. He died on September 12, shackled and naked on a prison floor, his brain hemorrhaging inside his skull. The state called it a “hunger strike.” The autopsy said otherwise.

His death lit the fuse. Protests exploded across South Africa. International outrage surged. And every lie the regime tried to sell became ash under the weight of Biko’s truth.

Steve Biko didn’t live to see apartheid fall. But he cracked the foundation so hard it never stopped shaking. His voice — calm, defiant, unbroken — still echoes through every freedom movement that dares to say, “We are not inferior. We are not afraid.”

“It is better to die for an idea that will live than to live for an idea that will die.”

This week’s international badass died fighting the lie of white supremacy — and became the proof that truth never dies easy.

Top 10 Greatest Hits of U.S. Policy Atrocities

Genocide of Indigenous Peoples (1492–Present)
Presidents Involved: All of them.
Estimated Avoidable Deaths: 10,000,000+
A centuries-long campaign of conquest, disease, forced relocation, cultural erasure, boarding schools, sterilizations, and treaty violations — still ongoing through neglect, environmental destruction, and systemic exclusion. From the Trail of Tears to modern pipeline projects, the genocide never ended — it evolved.
Systemic Violence Against African Americans (1619–Present)
Presidents Involved: All of them, especially pre-1965.
Estimated Avoidable Deaths: 5,000,000+
Enslavement, lynching, convict leasing, Jim Crow, redlining, mass incarceration, medical neglect, and police violence. From plantations to prisons, this is an unbroken chain of policy-driven oppression and disposability.
Vietnam War (1955–1975)
Presidents Involved: Eisenhower, Kennedy, Johnson, Nixon, Ford
Estimated Avoidable Deaths: ~2,000,000
A Cold War crusade that rained fire on civilians, poisoned the land with Agent Orange, and torched Southeast Asia in the name of “freedom.”
War on Drugs (1971–Present)
Presidents Involved: Nixon, Reagan, H.W. Bush, Clinton, W. Bush, Obama, Trump, Biden
Estimated Avoidable Deaths: 1,000,000+
A racist domestic war and international disaster. It militarized police, caged generations, criminalized addiction, and fueled mass death across Latin America and American streets.
Iraq War & Occupation (2003–2011)
Presidents Involved: George W. Bush, Barack Obama
Estimated Avoidable Deaths: ~500,000+
A war launched on lies. Destroyed infrastructure, mass displacement, ISIS rise — all traceable to American bombs and postwar neglect.
COVID-19 Mismanagement (2020–2022)
Presidents Involved: Donald Trump, Joe Biden
Estimated Avoidable Deaths: ~1,000,000
Denial, delay, profiteering, and global hoarding. The U.S. turned a pandemic into a death lottery — especially for the poor, disabled, and racialized.
CIA-Backed Coups and Dictatorships (1947–Present)
Presidents Involved: Truman onward
Estimated Avoidable Deaths: ~1,000,000+
Iran, Chile, Congo, Indonesia, Guatemala — the U.S. toppled democracies and funded slaughter to protect business interests and bury socialism.
Japanese Internment (1942–1945)
Presidents Involved: Franklin D. Roosevelt
Estimated Avoidable Deaths: Psychological, social, and material trauma for 120,000 people
Entire families incarcerated based solely on ancestry. No charges. No trials. No due process. Only shame — and silence.
Global Climate Sabotage (1950s–Present)
Presidents Involved: All post-war presidents
Estimated Avoidable Deaths: Millions projected
Fossil fuel lobbying, deregulation, military pollution, and export-based oil imperialism — America chose profit over planetary survival.
Medical Neglect & Eugenics (1900s–Present)
Presidents Involved: Wilson to present
Estimated Avoidable Deaths: 100,000+
From Tuskegee to forced sterilizations, lead poisoning, underfunded hospitals, and maternal mortality — U.S. healthcare has always served some better than others. And some not at all.

Franklin D. Roosevelt: Shitbird Score 77

Ethical & Moral Breakdown:
FDR is celebrated as the man who saved capitalism and crushed fascism — but beneath the marble busts lies a legacy soaked in racial injustice, state-sanctioned imprisonment, and genocidal inaction. While he built the New Deal, it was built on white supremacy: Black workers were excluded from Social Security, denied union protections, and redlined into generational poverty.

His refusal to lift immigration quotas for Jews fleeing the Holocaust directly condemned tens of thousands to Nazi death camps. The MS St. Louis, carrying over 900 Jewish refugees, was denied entry in 1939 — a majority later perished in Europe. Internally, Executive Order 9066 authorized the mass incarceration of over 120,000 Japanese Americans — U.S. citizens — stripped of rights, property, and dignity based solely on ancestry.

And then there's the Manhattan Project. Authorized under his administration, this unleashed the nuclear arms race without public knowledge or ethical review. FDR built the framework of American empire — intelligence, surveillance, and atomic infrastructure — and did so while preaching liberty.

Key Policies & Their Toll:

Inaction on the Holocaust refugee crisis — ~100,000+ avoidable deaths via enforced immigration quotas and maritime rejection
Japanese internment camps (EO 9066) — 120,000 detained, psychological trauma, loss of property, no due process
Colonial repression in the Philippines — U.S. suppression of Filipino resistance movements
Greenlighting the Manhattan Project — No public debate, no ethical oversight, creation of apocalyptic warfare
New Deal racial exclusions — Black and Indigenous Americans disproportionately excluded from economic recovery

Toll Assessment:

Avoidable Deaths: ~2,200,000
- Holocaust refugees turned away (~100,000)
- Colonial and indirect casualties in the Philippines (~30,000–50,000)
- Domestic suffering: internment-related deaths, racialized poverty, and suicide/mental collapse in labor camps
- Early Cold War repression and build-up groundwork
Unavoidable Deaths (WWII): ~4,000,000 globally involving U.S. forces — not included in score
Note: war was inherited, but FDR expanded military infrastructure and air campaigns, causing mass casualties abroad

Shitbird Score Breakdown:

Base Score (avoidable death toll): 70
Ethics Penalty: +7 (racial internment, refugee rejection, nuclear project without consent)
Final Shitbird Score: 77

“We have nothing to fear but fear itself.”
Unless you're a refugee, a Japanese-American citizen, or anyone outside the white New Deal umbrella — then you had the U.S. government to fear.

Harry S. Truman: Shitbird Score 84

Ethical & Moral Breakdown:
Harry S. Truman is the only human in history to order the use of nuclear weapons in warfare — not once, but twice. Hiroshima and Nagasaki were not military strikes; they were acts of mass civilian extermination. Over 200,000 people — men, women, children — vaporized, burned alive, or condemned to die slow, radiated deaths. Japan was already seeking surrender. Truman’s bombings were a geopolitical message to Stalin, not a military necessity.

He then ignited the Cold War: constructing a permanent war economy, birthing the CIA, and drafting the Truman Doctrine — a blank check for propping up authoritarian regimes under the guise of “anti-communism.” Greece, Turkey, Italy — all became early Cold War battlegrounds soaked in blood with U.S. backing. He militarized containment, enforced global obedience through economic and covert warfare, and backed political repression at home and abroad.

Domestically, he lit the fuse for McCarthyism with Executive Order 9835, initiating loyalty oaths, purges, and ideological witch hunts that destroyed lives for suspicion alone.

Key Policies & Their Toll:

Atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki (1945) — ~200,000+ civilian deaths
Korean War escalation (1950–1953) — ~1,000,000+ civilian deaths total; ~100,000+ directly under early U.S. occupation and bombing strategy
CIA creation (1947) — enabled coups, torture programs, assassinations globally for decades
Truman Doctrine (1947) — military aid to fascist regimes under anti-communist pretense
Loyalty Order 9835 (1947) — federal purge of suspected leftists; precursor to McCarthyism

Toll Assessment:

Avoidable Deaths: ~400,000
- Atomic bombings (~200,000)
- Korean War (U.S.-directed early phase civilian toll ~100,000)
- CIA-backed repression and early Cold War proxy conflicts (~100,000 est. indirect and facilitated deaths)
Unavoidable Deaths (WWII end): ~500,000 — largely inherited theater; not counted toward score

Shitbird Score Breakdown:

Base Score (avoidable death toll): 58
Ethics Penalty: +20 (nuclear war crimes)
Oppression & Empire Foundation Bonus: +6 (loyalty oaths, surveillance, Cold War groundwork)
Final Shitbird Score: 84

“The buck stops here.”
But the fallout carried across continents — from incinerated schoolchildren in Hiroshima to CIA black sites in decades to come.

×

Dwight D. Eisenhower: Shitbird Score 71

Ethical & Moral Breakdown:
Eisenhower publicly warned of the “military-industrial complex” — but only after he spent eight years feeding it like a beast. His presidency normalized covert regime change as a tool of U.S. policy. Under his direction, the CIA toppled democratically elected governments in Iran (1953) and Guatemala (1954), installing authoritarian regimes that went on to massacre their own citizens with U.S. weapons, training, and funding.

In Southeast Asia, Eisenhower backed French colonial forces in Vietnam and later installed the corrupt Diem regime, laying the foundation for the Vietnam War. His support for colonial powers, brutal anticommunist allies, and paramilitary death squads would ripple for decades, directly causing hundreds of thousands of deaths.

He also massively expanded the U.S. nuclear arsenal and doctrine of “massive retaliation,” increasing the global risk of annihilation, while initiating a policy of proxy warfare that treated foreign nations as expendable chess pieces. Rhetoric of peace, policy of sabotage.

Key Policies & Their Toll:

1953 Iranian coup (Operation Ajax) — deposed Mossadegh; ~10,000+ killed in post-coup repression
1954 Guatemalan coup (Operation PBSUCCESS) — ousted Árbenz; triggered 36-year civil war and ~200,000 deaths
Backed French colonialism and installed Diem in Vietnam — direct setup for the Vietnam War
Expansion of nuclear weapons stockpile — over 20,000 warheads built by 1960
Turned a blind eye to racial segregation and Southern backlash despite symbolic desegregation moves

Toll Assessment:

Avoidable Deaths: ~250,000
- Guatemala: ~200,000 civil war victims trace back to his coup
- Iran: ~10,000 political executions and repression
- Early Vietnam buildup and indirect casualties: ~40,000
Unavoidable Deaths: ~150,000
- Primarily Cold War-era conflicts with shared responsibility; excluded from final score

Shitbird Score Breakdown:

Base Score (avoidable death toll): 60
Ethics Penalty: +11 (proxy empire, covert war normalization, nuclear escalation)
Final Shitbird Score: 71

John F. Kennedy: Shitbird Score 59

Ethical & Moral Breakdown:
JFK projected hope, youth, and progress — but beneath the polish was a foreign policy of sabotage, secret wars, and Cold War brinkmanship. He approved the Bay of Pigs invasion in 1961, sending Cuban exiles into a doomed attempt to overthrow Castro — without air support and with zero regard for international law. That disaster didn’t humble him — it radicalized him.

Immediately after, he greenlit Operation Mongoose: a CIA campaign of economic sabotage, political destabilization, biological warfare attempts, and failed assassination plots — all targeting a sovereign nation that had never attacked the U.S.

In Southeast Asia, he escalated U.S. involvement in Vietnam from advisors to full-blown proxy war architects. Military personnel in Vietnam jumped from ~700 to over 16,000 during his presidency. He backed the Diem regime despite evidence of torture and corruption — and when Diem became inconvenient, JFK approved the coup that got him killed, plunging South Vietnam into chaos and accelerating the path to full-scale war.

JFK also authorized expanded use of counterinsurgency programs in Latin America, laying groundwork for future U.S.-backed death squads.

Key Policies & Their Toll:

Bay of Pigs Invasion (1961) — ~1,200 killed or captured, ignited decades of U.S.–Cuba hostility
Operation Mongoose (1961–1963) — sabotage and assassination attempts destabilized Cuba, violated international norms
Escalation in Vietnam — Diem regime backed with U.S. cash and weapons; ~100,000 deaths during JFK’s term, many civilian
Diem coup (1963) — approved by JFK; resulted in assassination and collapse of South Vietnamese stability
Latin American anti-left programs — enabled future right-wing atrocities

Toll Assessment:

Avoidable Deaths: ~130,000
- Vietnam (~100,000 early phase)
- Cuba (indirect toll from economic sabotage, counterinsurgency casualties)
- Latin America (training and funding of early suppression campaigns)
Unavoidable Deaths: ~100,000
- Cold War escalation and shared global tensions — not scored

Shitbird Score Breakdown:

Base Score (avoidable death toll): 45
Ethics Penalty: +14 (sabotage, coup greenlight, assassination plots)
Final Shitbird Score: 59

Lyndon B. Johnson: Shitbird Score 86

Ethical & Moral Breakdown:
LBJ signed the Civil Rights Act, Voting Rights Act, and built the social safety net — and then drowned Southeast Asia in fire. His decision to escalate the Vietnam War turned a Cold War quagmire into an industrial-scale slaughterhouse. The Gulf of Tonkin Resolution, passed under false pretenses, gave him a blank check for mass death.

From 1965 to 1969, U.S. troop presence surged to over 500,000. He unleashed Operation Rolling Thunder, a sustained bombing campaign that dropped over 643,000 tons of explosives on North Vietnam. In Laos and Cambodia, where we weren’t even officially at war, he approved secret bombings that killed and displaced hundreds of thousands.

Agent Orange — a defoliant loaded with dioxin — was sprayed across the countryside, poisoning civilians, water supplies, and generations of children. Estimates place Vietnamese civilian deaths at over 1 million during LBJ’s years alone.

Back home, LBJ expanded COINTELPRO, the FBI’s secret domestic war on civil rights leaders, journalists, and antiwar protesters. He smiled for photo ops with MLK while his government was wiretapping him.

Key Policies & Their Toll:

Vietnam War escalation (1964–1969) — over 1 million civilian deaths across Vietnam, Laos, and Cambodia
Gulf of Tonkin Resolution — passed under false intel to justify war expansion
Operation Rolling Thunder — sustained civilian bombing
Agent Orange use — ecological disaster and multigenerational poisoning
COINTELPRO expansion — surveillance and harassment of domestic dissidents

Toll Assessment:

Avoidable Deaths: ~1,365,000
- Vietnam: ~1,000,000
- Laos/Cambodia: ~300,000
- Domestic: Civil rights era assassinations enabled by surveillance (indirect), forced sterilizations, suicides from political harassment
Unavoidable Deaths: ~1,000,000
- Ongoing global Cold War and inherited geopolitical tensions — excluded from score

Shitbird Score Breakdown:

Base Score (avoidable death toll): 66
Ethics Penalty: +15 (war escalation on false grounds, ecological warfare)
Surveillance & Repression Bonus: +5 (COINTELPRO, MLK wiretaps, political sabotage)
Final Shitbird Score: 86

“We’re not about to send American boys nine or ten thousand miles away from home…”

Richard Nixon: Shitbird Score 88

Ethical & Moral Breakdown:
Richard Nixon intentionally sabotaged peace talks in 1968 to help him win the presidency, costing hundreds of thousands of lives before the war finally ended in 1975. Once in office, he expanded the war into Cambodia and Laos, launching Operation Menu, a secret bombing campaign that dropped more explosives than were used in all of World War II — without congressional approval or public knowledge.

The invasion destabilized Cambodia, creating the perfect storm for the rise of the Khmer Rouge, who would go on to murder 2 million people. That blood is on Nixon’s hands, too — not just from bombs, but from consequences.

Meanwhile, he backed and funded CIA coups across Latin America and Southeast Asia. Most notorious: Chile, 1973. The U.S. overthrew democratically elected President Salvador Allende, installing Augusto Pinochet, who tortured and murdered thousands. In Indonesia, Nixon doubled down on support for the Suharto regime — already responsible for 500,000+ dead communists.

Domestically, Nixon’s “War on Drugs” was never about public health. He weaponized it to criminalize Black Americans and antiwar protesters, unleashing the era of mass incarceration. He also expanded illegal wiretapping and surveillance, directing the FBI to spy on journalists, dissidents, and Congress itself.

And Watergate? That wasn’t a scandal. It was a symptom. Nixon didn’t just abuse power — he built a system to erase opposition.

Key Policies & Their Toll:

Sabotage of 1968 Vietnam peace talks — extended war unnecessarily
Invasion/bombing of Cambodia & Laos — 600,000+ civilian deaths
CIA-backed coup in Chile (1973) — Pinochet’s dictatorship: 40,000+ tortured, executed, or disappeared
Backing Indonesian genocide (1965–66) — 500,000+ killed
War on Drugs (launched 1971) — codified systemic racism, exploded prison population
COINTELPRO, illegal surveillance, Watergate — political suppression at national scale

Toll Assessment:

Avoidable Deaths: ~1,700,000
- Cambodia/Laos: 600,000+
- Vietnam extension: 300,000+
- Indonesia: 500,000
- Chile & other coups: 100,000+
- Domestic casualties of drug war, suicide, and state violence: tens of thousands
Unavoidable Deaths: ~1,500,000
- Vietnam War inherited toll and global Cold War violence outside direct U.S. control

Shitbird Score Breakdown:

Base Score (avoidable death toll): 68
Ethics Penalty: +15 (peace sabotage, covert coups, racist drug war)
Systemic Oppression Bonus: +5 (Watergate, surveillance, weaponized justice system)
Final Shitbird Score: 88

Gerald R. Ford: Shitbird Score 42

Ethical & Moral Breakdown:
Ford’s presidency is remembered as a healing moment after Watergate — but that healing came through institutional amnesia. His first major act was to pardon Richard Nixon, wiping the slate clean for war crimes, corruption, and authoritarian overreach. That decision didn’t just let Nixon walk — it set a permanent precedent: presidents are above the law.

While Ford posed as a stabilizing figure, he quietly greenlit military and economic support for genocidal regimes, including Indonesia’s brutal invasion of East Timor in 1975. Just hours after meeting with Suharto, Ford and Kissinger gave the nod — and Indonesia launched a full-scale assault that left over 100,000 Timorese dead, many executed, raped, or disappeared. U.S. weapons were used. U.S. aid kept flowing.

He also maintained Operation Condor, a CIA-linked assassination network in Latin America targeting leftists, students, journalists, and union leaders. Victims were tortured in black sites across Chile, Argentina, Paraguay, and Uruguay, often with U.S. intelligence assistance.

Domestically, he opposed government transparency reforms, and blocked meaningful investigation into CIA abuses exposed by the Church Committee, choosing preservation of secrecy over accountability.

Key Policies & Their Toll:

Pardon of Nixon (1974) — shielded the presidency from legal consequence
Approval of Indonesia’s invasion of East Timor (1975) — 100,000+ civilians killed
Continuation of Operation Condor — thousands disappeared, tortured, executed in Latin America
Opposed release of Church Committee CIA findings — protected institutional rot
Allowed economic policies that worsened recession and social inequality

Toll Assessment:

Avoidable Deaths: ~60,000
- East Timor: 100,000 total over time, but 60,000 directly linked to U.S. support under Ford
- Latin America: additional disappearances and political killings aided by U.S. policy
Unavoidable Deaths: ~100,000
- Vietnam War aftermath, Southeast Asia refugee crises, natural global tolls not directly tied to Ford

Shitbird Score Breakdown:

Base Score (avoidable death toll): 32
Ethics Penalty: +10 (pardon of Nixon, covert support for mass murder)

Jimmy Carter: Shitbird Score 19

Ethical & Moral Breakdown:
Carter is often romanticized as the lone moral compass in the Oval Office — a humanitarian president who preached peace and human rights. But even he bent the knee to the Cold War machine, and people died because of it. Carter’s administration pioneered U.S. intervention in Afghanistan, authorizing support for the mujahideen months before the Soviet invasion. This wasn’t a reaction to war — it was a provocation. His national security advisor, Zbigniew Brzezinski, admitted the goal was to bait the USSR into its own Vietnam.

The weapons, cash, and ideology the U.S. funneled into Afghan warlords laid the foundation for a 40-year war, birthed the Taliban, and empowered jihadist networks that would eventually give rise to al-Qaeda. Carter didn’t pull the trigger — he loaded the gun and handed it over.

He also supported Indonesia’s genocidal occupation of East Timor, continuing military aid and diplomatic cover while the death toll climbed past 200,000. In Central America, Carter downplayed or ignored CIA activity and the arming of anti-left forces in El Salvador and Guatemala, allowing future Reagan-era death squads to build momentum.

His economic deregulation policies — targeting airlines, trucking, and energy — shattered unions and kicked off the neoliberal free-market shift that would spiral into full-scale corporate rule under Reagan. His inaction on apartheid, resistance to universal healthcare, and weak response to the emerging HIV/AIDS crisis all compound his legacy of omission.

Key Policies & Their Toll:

Support for Afghan mujahideen (1979) — enabled decades of war, insurgency, and terrorism
Continued U.S. military aid to Indonesia during East Timor occupation — ~100,000+ deaths sustained during his term
Passive approval of CIA-backed destabilization in Central America — laid groundwork for death squad regimes
Deregulation of transportation and energy sectors — first major blows to organized labor
No substantive action on apartheid or HIV/AIDS response

Toll Assessment:

Avoidable Deaths: ~5,000
- Directly during Carter’s term from CIA ops, East Timor support, and anti-left proxy arming
- Long-term deaths attributable to Carter-era Afghan policy: millions, but not counted fully here since they unfolded under successors
Unavoidable Deaths: ~5,000
- Ongoing global crises not directly policy-induced during his tenure

Ronald Reagan: Shitbird Score 92

Ethical & Moral Breakdown:
Reagan’s presidency was a high-production snuff film dressed in patriotism. He armed, trained, and funded death squads across Latin America under the guise of “fighting communism.” In El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, and Nicaragua, U.S.-backed paramilitaries raped, tortured, beheaded, and massacred civilians — 300,000+ killed, most of them unarmed peasants, teachers, students, or Indigenous villagers.

The Iran-Contra affair was more than a scandal — it was a criminal conspiracy that involved illegally selling weapons to Iran, funneling the money to the Contras (Nicaraguan terrorists), and lying to Congress about it. These groups bombed schools, assassinated doctors, and executed journalists. Reagan called them “freedom fighters.”

Domestically, he let AIDS ravage a generation, refusing to say the word publicly for four years while tens of thousands died. His War on Drugs exploded mass incarceration, especially for Black Americans, criminalizing addiction and militarizing police forces. Cocaine flew into Los Angeles via CIA-connected pipelines while prison doors slammed shut on petty users.

Economically, Reagan dismantled unions, gutted welfare, deregulated Wall Street, and restructured the tax code to ignite the modern wealth gap. He wasn’t just the smiling face of deregulation — he was the architect of a corporate capture that’s still devouring the country today.

Key Policies & Their Toll:

Iran-Contra operation (1985–1987) — illegal arms, funding of terror, subversion of democratic oversight
Support for death squads in El Salvador, Guatemala, Nicaragua — 300,000+ deaths, widespread civilian massacres
AIDS crisis denial — 89,343 AIDS deaths in the U.S. during Reagan’s presidency
War on Drugs escalation — criminalized poverty, fueled prison industrial complex
Deregulation and tax policy shifts — long-term domestic death via poverty, healthcare denial, and homelessness
Support for apartheid South Africa and refusal to impose sanctions

Toll Assessment:

Avoidable Deaths: ~550,000
- Latin America: ~300,000
- AIDS crisis: ~90,000
- Drug war, homelessness, deregulation fallout: ~150,000+ (est. direct and indirect deaths via institutional neglect)

George H. W. Bush: Shitbird Score 61

Ethical & Moral Breakdown:
Before he became president, George H.W. Bush ran the CIA — where he cut his teeth on coup plots and black ops. As president, he brought that shadow state into full view. The 1991 Gulf War was waged under the pretense of repelling Iraq’s invasion of Kuwait, but quickly turned into a blitzkrieg against civilian infrastructure. Hospitals, water treatment plants, and power grids were targeted — a modern siege that killed tens of thousands of civilians directly, and condemned hundreds of thousands more to die slow deaths from disease, malnutrition, and sanctions.

The post-war blockade of Iraq, which began under his administration and was expanded later, became one of the deadliest economic warfare campaigns in modern history. And while bombs fell on Baghdad, Bush pushed “new world order” rhetoric, cementing a global policy of unilateral military dominance.

He also deepened the War on Drugs, escalating mandatory minimums and prison construction. He vetoed syringe exchange programs, blocked early AIDS relief funding, and signed off on anti-homeless policies that further criminalized poverty.

Internationally, Bush’s fingerprints are on the tail end of Latin American dirty wars, propping up regimes that had spent the previous decade disappearing leftists by the thousands. And his CIA legacy haunted every corner of policy: destabilization in Angola, silence on Indonesia, and years of intelligence-enabled violence in the Global South.

Key Policies & Their Toll:

Gulf War (1991) — 25,000–100,000 civilian deaths; targeting of infrastructure caused long-term suffering
Post-war Iraq sanctions regime — set stage for 500,000+ excess deaths over the next decade
Strengthened War on Drugs — explosion in incarceration; racial disparities widened
Vetoed HIV/AIDS funding expansions — delayed relief during height of the epidemic
Supported Suharto’s Indonesia, anti-left regimes in Latin America — complicity in ongoing repression

Toll Assessment:

Avoidable Deaths: ~35,000
- Gulf War direct civilian deaths (~25,000–50,000 under his term)
- Post-war embargo/sanctions (early stage excess deaths)
- Drug war policing, AIDS crisis neglect, and homelessness (~10,000+ domestic deaths linked to policy)
Unavoidable Deaths: ~100,000
- Multi-state collapse, global recession deaths, and post-Cold War instability — excluded from score

Shitbird Score Breakdown:

Base Score (avoidable death toll): 25
Ethics Penalty: +16 (civilian infrastructure targeting, sanctions setup, CIA legacy)
Drug War Continuation Bonus: +20 (expanded mass incarceration, racial disparity reinforcement)
Final Shitbird Score: 61

George H. W. Bush: Shitbird Score 61

Ethical & Moral Breakdown:
Before he became president, George H.W. Bush ran the CIA — where he cut his teeth on coup plots and black ops. As president, he brought that shadow state into full view. The 1991 Gulf War was waged under the pretense of repelling Iraq’s invasion of Kuwait, but quickly turned into a blitzkrieg against civilian infrastructure. Hospitals, water treatment plants, and power grids were targeted — a modern siege that killed tens of thousands of civilians directly, and condemned hundreds of thousands more to die slow deaths from disease, malnutrition, and sanctions.

The post-war blockade of Iraq, which began under his administration and was expanded later, became one of the deadliest economic warfare campaigns in modern history. And while bombs fell on Baghdad, Bush pushed “new world order” rhetoric, cementing a global policy of unilateral military dominance.

He also deepened the War on Drugs, escalating mandatory minimums and prison construction. He vetoed syringe exchange programs, blocked early AIDS relief funding, and signed off on anti-homeless policies that further criminalized poverty.

Bill Clinton: Shitbird Score 67

Ethical & Moral Breakdown:
Slick Willie sold America the lie of compassionate neoliberalism — and while he played saxophone on late night TV, he was quietly orchestrating mass incarceration, welfare dismantling, corporate deregulation, and foreign policy indifference that cost tens of thousands of lives.

Let’s start with the 1994 Crime Bill — the biggest expansion of the carceral state in modern history. Clinton poured billions into prisons, incentivized states to lock up nonviolent offenders, and codified mandatory minimums. Black communities were devastated. Generations lost to cages. Families obliterated by sentencing that treated addiction as a criminal plague, not a public health crisis.

Then came welfare reform. Clinton gutted Aid to Families with Dependent Children, replacing it with time-limited benefits that plunged millions — especially single mothers — deeper into poverty. He declared the “end of welfare as we know it” with Wall Street clapping in the background.

Internationally, Clinton stood by and did nothing as 800,000 people were hacked to death in Rwanda. He ignored CIA warnings, suppressed the word "genocide" in public statements, and later said, “We didn’t fully appreciate” what was happening. But he knew. He chose not to act.

In Iraq, Clinton maintained and expanded the sanctions started under H.W., which by 1999 had led to the deaths of over 500,000 children according to UNICEF estimates. His Secretary of State, Madeleine Albright, said: “We think the price is worth it.” That blood is on Clinton’s hands, too.

He also bombed a pharmaceutical factory in Sudan based on bad intel, cutting off half the country’s medical supply, and launched military strikes in the Balkans and Iraq that killed civilians — some of it suspected to be wag-the-dog political cover for the Lewinsky scandal.

Key Policies & Their Toll:

1994 Crime Bill — 100,000 new cops, mandatory minimums, three-strikes laws, prison explosion
Welfare reform (1996) — cut assistance to poor families, drove up child homelessness and food insecurity
Ignored Rwandan genocide (1994) — 800,000 killed with zero U.S. military response
Iraq sanctions maintained — estimated 500,000 child deaths from food and medicine shortages
Sudan pharmaceutical plant bombing (1998) — destroyed 50% of Sudan’s medicine production
NAFTA ratified (1994) — triggered economic collapse for Mexican farmers, fueling migration and cartel growth

Toll Assessment:

Avoidable Deaths: ~80,000
- Domestic incarceration effects, welfare collapse, Iraq sanctions, Sudan bombing fallout
- (Note: Rwandan genocide not included in base death toll since U.S. didn’t actively cause it — but choosing not to intervene when capable warrants massive ethical penalty)
Unavoidable Deaths: ~100,000
- Kosovo War civilian toll, shared Cold War aftershock violence — excluded from score

Shitbird Score Breakdown:

Base Score (avoidable death toll): 32
Ethics Penalty: +20 (genocide inaction, welfare gutting, bombing medical infrastructure)
Global Indifference Bonus: +15 (sanctions, NAFTA, pharmaceutical strikes)
Final Shitbird Score: 67

George W. Bush: Shitbird Score 98

Ethical & Moral Breakdown:
George W. Bush is responsible for the most catastrophic foreign policy failure in modern U.S. history. The 2003 invasion of Iraq, sold to the world on manufactured lies about Weapons of Mass Destruction, killed over 500,000 civilians and destabilized an entire region. It created a power vacuum that birthed ISIS, ignited multiple civil wars, and permanently poisoned America’s global credibility.

He also launched the War in Afghanistan, originally framed as a hunt for terrorists, which morphed into a 20-year occupation with nearly a quarter million people dead, including 70,000 civilians. The Taliban outlasted him. The mission was never accomplished.

Meanwhile, Bush authorized torture. Under his watch, the U.S. ran black sites, implemented “enhanced interrogation” (a euphemism for war crimes), and detained people without trial at Guantánamo Bay. The CIA waterboarded, beat, and violated prisoners — some of whom were later found to be innocent. No one was held accountable.

Domestically, Bush botched the response to Hurricane Katrina, leaving over 1,800 Americans dead, many of them Black and poor. He signed the Patriot Act, opening the door to mass surveillance of U.S. citizens. And his tax cuts for the rich and deregulation contributed directly to the 2008 financial collapse, triggering a global recession that devastated working families.

Key Policies & Their Toll:

2003 Iraq War — over 500,000 civilian deaths, millions displaced
Afghanistan War escalation — 70,000+ civilian deaths during his term
CIA torture program (black sites, Guantanamo) — legal and moral collapse
Katrina disaster mismanagement — ~1,800 avoidable domestic deaths
USA PATRIOT Act (2001) — launched the era of warrantless wiretaps and NSA overreach
Tax cuts for the wealthy (2001, 2003) — exploded inequality, contributed to 2008 crash
Global gag rule expansion — restricted abortion access worldwide, leading to preventable maternal deaths

Toll Assessment:

Avoidable Deaths: ~650,000
- Iraq: ~500,000
- Afghanistan: ~70,000
- Katrina: ~1,800
- CIA torture, maternal mortality via global policy, post-9/11 wars elsewhere: tens of thousands more
Unavoidable Deaths: ~650,000
- Collateral from inherited conflicts, natural disasters, and external factors — excluded from score

Shitbird Score Breakdown:

Base Score (avoidable death toll): 80

Barack Obama: Shitbird Score 79

Ethical & Moral Breakdown:
Barack Obama entered office with promises of peace, transparency, and reform — then perfected mechanized assassination, expanded surveillance, and shielded the architects of economic collapse and torture from any consequences.

Let’s start with the drone program. Under Obama, the U.S. conducted over 500 drone strikes across Pakistan, Yemen, and Somalia — often without congressional oversight, judicial review, or even knowing who was being killed. Entire families were obliterated in so-called “signature strikes” where the targets were unidentified “military-aged males.” Wedding parties, aid workers, and children were among the dead. The official line: they were probably bad guys.

In Libya, Obama launched a NATO-backed bombing campaign to topple Gaddafi — with no postwar plan. The country collapsed into warlordism, slave markets emerged, and refugees drowned trying to escape the chaos. 10,000–30,000 civilians died. He later called it his “worst mistake.”

Obama continued and expanded Bush’s wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, authorized the use of special forces in 147 countries, and carried out more covert military operations than any president before him. The U.S. didn’t end its wars under Obama — they just became quieter, deadlier, and more automated.

He refused to prosecute a single Wall Street executive after the 2008 crash — allowing trillions in wealth to be transferred to the rich, while millions lost their homes. He also let Bush-era torturers walk, saying, “We need to look forward, not backward.” That meant no justice for Guantanamo, black sites, or waterboarding.

And under his administration, the NSA spied on everyone — Americans, allies, journalists. The surveillance state metastasized, codified by FISA renewals and legal gymnastics. Edward Snowden’s leaks exposed it all — and Obama’s Justice Department tried to bury the messenger.

Key Policies & Their Toll:

Drone wars in Yemen, Somalia, Pakistan — ~5,000+ confirmed kills, many civilian
Libya air campaign (2011) — 10,000–30,000 dead, state collapse, rise in slave markets
Afghanistan surge (2009) — 33,000 additional U.S. troops deployed, civilian casualties escalated
No prosecutions for CIA torture or Wall Street crimes
FISA reauthorization & prosecution of whistleblowers
Record deportations and family separations early in term

Toll Assessment:

Avoidable Deaths: ~230,000
- Drone strikes and covert ops: ~15,000
- Libya: ~20,000+
- Afghanistan/Iraq indirect toll: ~100,000+
- Global policy consequences, deportation-related deaths, economic fallout: tens of thousands more
Unavoidable Deaths: ~200,000
- Ongoing wars, natural disasters, inherited conflicts — excluded from score

Shitbird Score Breakdown:

Base Score (avoidable death toll): 55
Ethics Penalty: +24 (extrajudicial killing, surveillance state, no justice for torture or economic collapse)
Final Shitbird Score: 79

Donald J. Trump: Shitbird Score 91

Ethical & Moral Breakdown:
Donald Trump’s presidency was a four-year disaster film with a real body count. His mishandling of COVID-19 led to hundreds of thousands of avoidable deaths. He ignored early warnings, called it a hoax, pushed bleach, mocked masks, undercut scientists, and politicized a pandemic response that should have been apolitical. He dismantled pandemic response teams, hoarded PPE, and turned vaccine rollout into a disorganized PR stunt. The virus didn’t hit America — it was invited.

Meanwhile, he waged psychological warfare on immigrants and refugees, instituting a family separation policy at the border that ripped thousands of children from their parents, many of whom were never reunited. Kids were held in cages. Some died. His administration lost track of hundreds, and lied about it.

On the world stage, Trump emboldened authoritarian regimes, cut off aid to the global south, withdrew from climate agreements, and pushed arms deals over human rights. He supported Saudi Arabia’s war in Yemen, leading to civilian massacres and famine. His “peace” deals were weapons contracts in disguise.

Domestically, he gutted environmental protections, rolled back over 100 regulations, and accelerated the climate crisis. He incited white supremacists, stoked division, and fueled violent extremism — culminating in the January 6th insurrection, an attempt to overthrow democratic process that he openly encouraged.

He deregulated everything, stacked courts, fired inspectors general, and turned the federal government into a grift machine. Nepotism ran wild. Jared Kushner made foreign policy decisions based on personal deals. Trump used the presidency like a mob boss with a plane.

Key Policies & Their Toll:

COVID-19 mismanagement (2020–2021) — ~1 million U.S. deaths; ~400,000 considered avoidable
Family separation at the border — thousands of children detained, hundreds never reunited
Support for Saudi war in Yemen — 150,000+ dead, millions displaced
Environmental rollbacks — long-term public health consequences
Attempted subversion of 2020 election & Jan 6th incitement
Pulled out of Paris Climate Accord, WHO, and arms treaties
Used federal agents on domestic protesters (Portland, DC)

Toll Assessment:

Avoidable Deaths: ~1,360,000
- COVID (avoidable domestic + global spread): ~1,000,000
- Yemen: ~150,000
- Border policy & health neglect: ~10,000
- Environmental, disinformation, and incitement-related indirect deaths: ~200,000
Unavoidable Deaths: ~350,000
- Pandemic background toll and global instability not caused by policy — excluded

Joe Biden: Shitbird Score 81

Ethical & Moral Breakdown:
Joe Biden campaigned on a promise to restore America’s soul. What he delivered was technocratic continuity with better manners — and the blood never stopped flowing.

He entered office during a global pandemic and failed to ensure timely vaccine distribution to the Global South, allowing hundreds of thousands of preventable deaths as rich nations hoarded doses. Domestically, he oversaw a return to stability, but refused to pursue accountability for pandemic profiteers, January 6th organizers, or corporate monopolists.

His foreign policy turned deadly in Gaza, where his unconditional support for Israel’s 2023–2024 military campaign enabled the slaughter of over 30,000 Palestinians — the majority women and children. Despite global condemnation, Biden vetoed UN ceasefire resolutions, accelerated weapons shipments, and used diplomatic cover to shield war crimes. He didn’t just stand by — he funded it, armed it, and defended it.

He also executed the Afghanistan withdrawal in August 2021 — a mission he didn’t design, but botched catastrophically. The Taliban swept Kabul in days, U.S. allies were left behind, and 13 U.S. troops and 170+ civilians died in a suicide bombing during the chaotic evacuation. Afghans clung to planes and fell to their deaths. Then Biden froze $7 billion in Afghan national funds, triggering a humanitarian disaster where millions starved and children died in hospitals. He blamed the Taliban — but it ...

Domestically, Biden promised to reverse Trump’s border policies but instead expanded surveillance and detention, continuing deportations and family separations. He approved massive fossil fuel projects like Willow while claiming climate leadership, and his much-touted humanitarian pier in Gaza collapsed within weeks, killing one U.S. soldier and injuring 60+ others — a $31 million failure symbolic of his performative empathy.

While his term saw less chaos than his predecessor, the substance often remained the same: bombs still dropped, migrants still jailed, children still died, and billionaires still got richer.

Key Policies & Their Toll:

Gaza War Support (2023–2024) — 30,000+ killed, Biden vetoed ceasefires, continued arms sales
Afghanistan withdrawal (2021) — 183 dead in Kabul bombing, thousands stranded, Taliban resurgence
$7B Afghan funds frozen — led to economic collapse, famine, child deaths
Slow vaccine rollout globally — avoidable deaths in the hundreds of thousands
Border policies and deportations continued — humanitarian crisis at home
Willow Project and fossil fuel approvals — long-term climate damage
Gaza humanitarian pier failure — $31M wasted, 1 soldier dead, 62 wounded
No accountability for corporate profiteering, monopolies, or police violence

Toll Assessment:

Avoidable Deaths: ~80,000
- Gaza: ~30,000
- Afghan economic collapse & famine: ~20,000
- COVID global response shortfalls: ~20,000+
- Domestic deaths from policy neglect, border conditions, pier collapse, etc.
Unavoidable Deaths: ~50,000
- Ukraine war, global instability, pre-existing crises — excluded from scoring

Shitbird Score Breakdown:

Base Score (avoidable death toll): 56
Ethics Penalty: +20 (Gaza complicity, Afghan chaos, vaccine apartheid)
Humanitarian Execution Penalty: +5 (Gaza pier failure, no corporate accountability)
Withdrawal Debacle Penalty: +5 (Kabul collapse, mass civilian fallout)
Final Shitbird Score: 81

“America is back.”
