So far the war in Iran has cost an estimated $5.5 billion.

That's roughly $1 billion per day.

$41,666,667 per hour.

$11,574 per second.

People do not want this.

They want a living wage. They want healthcare. They want to be able to afford a home. They want their basic needs met.

Not fighting fascism is the same as supporting fascism. Vote.

The video of a United States Senator joining the violent removal of U.S. marine from a hearing and hideously breaking his arm in a door is an example of what has been unleashed in this country. Theyโ€™re tapping in to get in on the violence.
And then he bragged about it on X later.

Remember:

This is all about the Epstein Files.

The unredacted Epstein files belong to us.
The U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) is primarily funded by taxpayers through annual congressional appropriations.

โ€œEvery gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed...This is not a way of life...it is humanity hanging from a cross of iron.โ€

Bring out the shy people: The case for politics without politicians In a new book, political theorist Hรฉlรจne Landemore argues that electoral politics is irredeemably broken but that democracy can be repaired by empowering ordinary people to govern.

โ€œAll real democracy is an attemptโ€ฆto bring the shy people out.โ€

The US now says this is not a war but a defensive action.

What a load of shit, their narrative shifts daily as they make it up to suit their lying illegal war.

US intelligence stated there was no immediate threat, the IAEA just released a statement saying there were no WMDs.

This is why he bombed Iran. So no would be watching him remove files about his crimes and corruption with Jeffrey Epstein. The DOJ is covering up the crimes of our rapist president.

cannot stress enough how absurd it is that our government officials are mocking Iranian leadership for being delusional theocrats when they themselves genuinely believe this war is a mission from God to prepare the holy land for the Book of Revelations

Just a random reminder that over 50 members of Congress collectively own millions of dollars in defense contractor stocks.

They stand to personally profit from wars that enrich these contractors.

Make no mistake, this is legalized corruption.

Watch how they vote this week.

WATCH โ€” @senpeterwelch walks through a no-bid $143,000,000 contract that went to @KristiNoemโ€™s spokeswoman Tricia McLaughlinโ€™s husbandโ€™s company that had just been formed.

She should be impeached for this outrageous scandal alone.

Yet itโ€™s barely a blip in this corrupt regime.
