Mission accomplished? The 2003 boast that haunts today's Iran conflict The echoes between the conflicts are certainly there but there are also profound differences.

After a couple of weeks the wars in Iraq, Libya, and Afghanistan were all proclaimed great success by the US government. After years of chaos and some humiliating withdrawals there was less boasting. Now Trump thinks he has already won without a plan for the future.

Same for diapers, junk food containers, nips & other beverage containers,

It’s always fun having extra bags to clean up other people’s dog crap. Especially when you opted for small dog & then carry elephant size crap for other people’s pets. Friend once bagged one on front yard, followed depositer home, rang bell & said you for your package. 😏

In less than 1 week, Trump has wasted more than $5 BILLION of your taxpayer dollars on his war of choice on Iran.

That money could have covered the cost of SNAP for more than 2 million Americans for a year.

There's always money for war and never money for human needs.

Medicare for All - "That's socialism!"

Social Security - "That's socialism!"

Debt free education - "That's socialism!"

Universal childcare - "That's socialism!"

$1 billion per day on a war in the Middle East that no one wants, while millions of people at home struggle.

"That's just how it is."

Image of working people punching a hole beneath a ballroom full of rich people enjoying their night

As Trump pushes more tax cuts for the rich and a new ballroom to service the super wealthy paid for by slashing our healthcare, we can’t help but remember this 1906 piece by William Balfour Ker: “From the Depths”

Ruth Wilson Gilmore said, “No abolitionist who is a true abolitionist wants to save money. What we want is for the money to be spent, to enhance, and support human life so that it can flourish in a way that doesn’t destroy the planet. We’re not about cost-savings.“ Saving lives, not saving money.
