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.
Why has Trump been pushed in this direction? Follow the money. UAE, Qatar, the Saudis and Israel paid him to.
I know this feels pointless but everyone has to call their congressional reps and say they oppose war with Iran and they oppose Trump illegally starting one without congressional approval — both
5 Calls can help you make the call:

if the media had any integrity — and it doesn’t anymore — they’d be pointing out on a loop that Obama made a deal with Iran, Trump cancelled it because Obama is Black, and then Trump started a war on the pretense there is no deal
$413,000 per bed. Insanity.
While they cut health care, food assistance, etc.
This is interesting: As Dems & independents nationwide look for a new politics, Justice Dems are launching a *full slate* to "build a true opposition & governing party."
Each incumbent they're challenging takes corporate PAC cash & "has voted to send Israel billions while families at home suffer."
Right-wing Heritage Foundation’s own data shows fewer than 100 noncitizens voted since 1982 (!!!)
This is not a real problem. “The SAVE ACT is a Trojan horse to nationalize elections”: open.substack.com/pub/thiswill...
The SAVE Act would require Americans to show a passport or birth certificate in person just to register to vote.
Millions of Americans don’t have access to these documents. This is voter suppression, plain and simple.
Call your senators to urge them to vote no: (202) 224-3121
"Families in Minneapolis are afraid to go to work, send kids to school, answer their door—and are still being evicted. If people can't safely work, move, or live—eviction is violence!" -Minneapolis ICE protester calls for Gov. Walz to declare eviction moratorium. LIVE NOW ⬇️
Corporate America made over $22 billion from contracts with ICE and CBP last year.
The list of companies profiting from Trump's aggressive deportation regime includes Palantir, Deloitte, GEO Group, and many more.

This giant ICE Army they are building this year is also likely to be at polling places during the midterms in heavily Democratic precincts with the excuse being that they are looking for “illegals trying to vote.”
In solidarity with today's ICE OUT OF MINNESOTA blackout, MinnMax is donating $1 to the Immigrant Law Center of Minnesota for every share of this Bluesky post for the next hour.
The largest labor strike in history is happening today in Minnesota. Yes they are suppressing the information but if enough us talk about it off and online they can’t hide it.
Deporting children with cancer.
Using a 5-year-old as bait.
Shooting moms.
ICE is beyond reform. And today the House is voting to bankroll more terror. Hell no.
drag them through the mud
$1.5T for the military budget
$170B for ICE and Border Patrol
$1B to refurbish Trump's Qatar jet
$470M to send National Guard into cities
$230M for Trump's DOJ "compensation"
$200M for Kristi Noem's jets
$100M for Trump's golf outings
But no money to lower your healthcare costs.
Quit talking about Trump. Address everything, every issue to Miller and Vought. Make Trump irrelevant, his ego will not let him be out of the spotlight and you’ll see Miller and Vought removed and the rest of the administration collapse.
One thing that is getting conflated:
ICE is not law enforcement.
ICE is immigration enforcement.
There's a BIG difference between the two.
Elections haven't always been fair in America.
We've suffered Poll taxes, writing tests, intimidation, misinformation and straight up cheating in multiple elections over the life of our country.
And progress still came.
Don't let them con you into thinking they're inevitable.
They aren't.
If Democratic voters want a Democratic Party that fights, some are going to have to vote against their current representatives during the primaries.
Don’t expect a leopard to change its spots.
Look at who their funders are and act accordingly.

Abolish the crazy thugs at ICE.
I sound like a conspiracy theorist but follow the resources. This time it’s the rare earth minerals. They’re necessary for batteries, electric vehicles, military technologies. The US is competing with China for dominance over these resources.
I’ve been in or around politics for over a half-century now.
I’ve watched as corporations and the super-rich flooded D.C. with campaign cash and ransacked our system.
It won't be easy, but here’s how we break the corporate oligarchy and return power to the people.
Fun fact about Nigeria: they recently shut down a lot of car battery recycling outfits to conduct tests.
Tests to study the large amount of lead being let off by these companies, poisoning the local populations.
These companies? US automakers that refuse to start certification programs.
ICE are not legitimate federal agents. They are not law enforcement. They have no authority to commit crimes, violate rights, assault and kidnap Americans. Zero. They're criminals with badges and guns.
CBS paid the president of the United States millions in bribe money and now they censor news reports so it does not annoy him. I don’t know how much plainer we can put this.
