FACT SHEET: How Much Is the War in Iran Costing American Taxpayers?
NEW: The military systems that the U.S. sent to the Iran region in recent weeks ALONE cost us nearly $60 MILLION per day β just a fraction of the cost of this war.
That ~$60 million could cover Medicaid for 4 million Americans per day, or SNAP for 9.5 million.

I think we all could use some good vibes right now.
But I need your help with this, okay?
Tell me about one of the BEST DAYS you ever had as a kid that involved a video game.
Think about why that day meant so much to you, and share it.
Good memories are so, so precious, and I want to know πΊπ°πΆπ³π΄.

I miss episodes in series that were character building and downtime actions. Itβs good to get breathing room between emotional episodes.
I also wish there were more lower budget shows. I used to see so many awesome practical effects.

And what exactly are you doing to hold these people in power responsible? Be a blowhard pushover.
We want accountability, not promises. I hope every one of you corporate backed politicians get ran out of this country.

Torsheta Jackson reflects on legacy, parenting and confronting modern racism through history.
OPINION: "It is our job to ensure that every member of their generation knows their life should have meaning and purpose. It is our responsibility to be sure they know our history so they can help us avoid reliving it," Torsheta Jackson writes.

Because it makes sense. Employers tend choose people who will work for less. Immigrants are put into situations where they have no way to negotiate. Companies take advantage, through the implication that the immigrants could be disappeared.
We should absolutely go after employers!

βBut every company does this!β Yes, many do but it doesnβt make it okay. You want to do something? Build community, help each other, and stop buying crappy products.

Jesus lady! Why are you obsessed with killing sea lions? They live here and have a right to exist, weβre the invasive species!
Instead of hunting sea lions, could we focus on the extensive list of murderers and rapists in the government? Youβre looking suspiciously like a pedophile apologist.

βThe U.S military carried out another strike on a vessel without authorization or due diligence, murdering at least one in the Eastern Pacific Ocean.β
Stop making these strikes sound like an oopsie or that we actually know a damn thing. We have murderers and rapists running the trump regime.

There is a big stipulationβ¦ itβs only the ones who got caught. Iβm sure there are many more who are in the upper ranks and the trumpstein files who are still protected. It is alarming that the Grand βOld Pedophile party really does protect sexual deviants and corruption.
