I know these are troubling times. Never, ever lose your sense of outrage. But you must also never give up the hope that through struggle and through solidarity, we can win a better world.

@JGillRay@applnokr@RichardHanania I know it sounds high, that's what makes it so absurd. We've spent $2.26 trillion in Afghanistan since 2001, and this number came from the Pentagon.
@JGillRay@applnokr@RichardHanania It was $300,000,000 a day, on average, for decades to come, and there was no scope for progress. Had we left there after 5 years later, the Taliban would have done the same thing then. We know this because we didn't pull out 5, 10, or 15 years ago, and still this happened today.
BIG NEWS: I’ve just introduced legislation in Congress calling for a four-day work week. It’s well past time that Americans have more time to live their lives, and not just work. Retweet if you agree, we need to make this a reality.
To recap, we spent over $2 trillion on an unwinnable war in a country that fell the instant we left but we "can't afford" to protect Americans from death by giving them affordable health care.
@tvnze @AP @_realestdev Both Obama and Trump burnt all that money on corporate bailouts and stock market stimulus instead of actual infrastructure and jobs investments
