We're spending $1 billion per day on war as millions of working people struggle to get by.
Meanwhile, America's ultra-rich have never been richer.
I think we call this murder
Relatives of those killed might start Court case in the US? And even if they were coke trafficking, those killed, it would still be murder
@rbreich.bsky.social @kevinmkruse.bsky.social are right... this is risk for all as Trump thinks he can get away with murder
