To bomb Iran the US deployed 7 B2 bombers—each cost $2.1B to build. They used 14 huge “bunker busters,” a model that cost $500 million to develop.

The US invested ~ $15 billion in this attack—almost 50% more than it invested in affordable housing construction this year.

Andrew Jackson also refused to comply with a Supreme Court ruling when he carried out the Trail of Tears. Approximately 6000 people died during that illegal eviction, and no one was ever held accountable.

Seems like a good day to remind everyone that Auschwitz — a complex of over 40 concentration and extermination camps — was not located in Nazi Germany either.

If a legal permanent resident can be deported without breaking any laws, because the government doesn’t like his policy opinion, it’s not a free country. It’s that simple.

Mahmoud Khalil’s words after today’s hearing.

[Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib @RepRashida]

That's a trillion dollars for death and destruction, while Americans sleep on the streets, die from a lack of health care coverage, and ration their insulin.

Lovely moment to be reading 'Sinews of War and Trade' (Arab peninsula logistics/history) and 'Smoke and Ashes' (Tea/Opium + uk/nl imperial trade policies)... everything Trump implements is pulled from the most inept and genocidal Victorian playbook. (He's not aware, but wtf!)

[Brandon Bradford @BrandonLBradfor]

Deporting Americans without due process then saying they no longer get due process because they aren't in America means no one has rights, FYI. Nightmare scenario

[Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib @RepRashida]

Once again, a U.S. president is bombing Yemen, the poorest country in the world. This cruelty must stop. The president cannot circumvent Congress and the Constitution for more endless war. Too many Yemeni lives are lost when we keep choosing bombs and destruction.

Netanyahu has shattered the ceasefire agreement, indiscriminately killing hundreds of people in Gaza and putting the lives of the remaining hostages at risk. This is after not allowing any food, water, aid, or fuel into Gaza in two weeks.

Arms embargo NOW.

[Eman Abdelhadi @emanabdelhadi]

Today is day 12 of a total blockade on Gaza. No electricity, no food, no medicine, no water. This is US-backed mass slaughter.

[Ayanna Pressley @AyannaPressley]

A President who detains a protestor and revokes their legal status can only be called one thing:

A dictator.

Silencing dissent is unlawful, unjust, and authoritarian through and through.

Awful. Deeply disappointed in the actions of the ACSA Board of Directors. All support and solidarity to the editorial team and contributors to this issue.

If you have a moment I'd be very grateful for any RT of my illustration as I am currently in need of any new work/projects. I have a lot of examples on my website too.

Thankyou :)

If Elon was actually looking for fraud, he’d be hiring forensic accountants—not a bunch of programmers.

The super wealthy want you to be mad about foreign aid because they don't want anyone to focus on the HUGE amount of money we spend on THEM.

Trump's 2017 law spends more on tax breaks for just 4 companies (AT&T, Facebook, Verizon and Walmart) than the entire USAid budget.

[Rashida Tlaib @RashidaTlaib]

Yes, this is happening.

An unelected billionaire is seizing control of $6T in Social Security checks, Medicare, & tax refunds that our families depend on. We must push back immediately against this dangerous giveaway of our gov’t by the Trump Admin to the richest man on Earth.

[Tom Malinowski @Malinowski]

Because Trump used his emergency economic powers to impose tariffs, any member of Congress can force a vote to terminate them. This is because the National Emergencies Act makes such resolutions "privileged" - if introduced, they must be quicly taken up.

Dems should do this!
