Reminder that the US military budget is larger than the military spending of the next nine largest countries combined.
Over half goes to private defense contractors.
This is the military-industrial complex Eisenhower warned of — on steroids.
Thank you!

this map is damning.
Israel provides dense networks of bomb shelters for predominantly Jewish areas while predominantly Palestinian areas face barriers to shelter construction.
This is one of the oldest PayPal scams running. And Reddit just showed me that PayPal's own support team doesn't know how it works.

A handful of contractors are pulling in big money equipping ICE and CBP with heavy weaponry, ammo, and other accessories as they wage their war on us. I asked Schiff's staff to list out the top contractors per their data.
The results are in the chart below. 2/

This 53 year old man who lived in my neighborhood w/no criminal record & who had been in the US for 30 years, was detained and thrown into a cold cell for days, caught pneumonia and COVID there and deported.
He finally died.
I am so angry.

20.02.2026 19:14 — 👍 14271 🔁 2863 💬 366 📌 138CNN’s reporting about Trump’s reaction to the recent Supreme Court ruling on tariffs. The breakfast had reportedly been going well, until Trump became enraged and began ranting about the decision, called it “a disgrace,” and at one point attacked the courts with a now famous "these fucking courts" line. Chyron reads: "Trump called the Supreme Court ruling against his tariffs “a disgrace.” The overall message conveys Trump’s anti-democracy rhetoric extending far beyond legal critique and institutional criticism to open and flaunting autocratic, unconstitutional behavior.

Black man found hanging in Marietta ga. a couple of days ago. No news coverage again. Likely not a suicide as they are again trying to say. Statistically speaking Black people don’t hang ourselves from trees. Any guess of who would do this?!
