So far the war on Iran has cost $9.4 billion.

That's $1 billion per day.

$41,666,667 per hour.

$11,574 per second.

Thousands of lives lost.

People don't 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.

(alongside images of Trump, Pete Hegseth, a fighter jet, and missiles) Who’s paying for the Trump administration’s billion-dollar war in Iran? You are.

Gas prices rising
Utility prices to rise as natural gas prices surge
Stock markets tumbling

Realistically, how much are you willing to pay for it?

Bruce Springsteen - Streets Of Minneapolis (Official Audio)
Bruce Springsteen - Streets Of Minneapolis (Official Audio) YouTube video by Bruce Springsteen

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.

Alex Jeffrey Pretti was an ICU nurse at a VA hospital. His life, through his profession, was dedicated to serving his community and our country.

As so many have now seen on video, his final act before he was killed by federal agents was doing everything in his power to protect his community.

AOC: "An ICE officer had violently pushed a woman to the ground and he had come over to help get her up and that is what precipitated this incident that very quickly led to an execution in the streets. What we are seeing here is a momentous pivotal moment for the United States."

So far in Minnesota

They Shot a 37-year-old mother Renee Good four times, killing her, right after she dropped off her son at school.

Then Ice kidnapped a five year old.

Then ice kidnapped a two year old

Then border patrol murdered Va nurse.

Then Sec Noam went on tv and lied about it

They think they can provoke us into abandoning our values. They are wrong. We will keep the peace. We will secure justice for our neighbors. And we will see this occupation end.

No funding for fascism is a floor. The demand must also extend to arresting all of the agents responsible and ensuring they go to trial.

My honest best take on what's happening with ICE funding. I got it down to 10 points:
1) Trump/Miller/GOP want more ICE funding
2) Dem leadership doesn't want it but also doesn't see a way to stop it without focusing attention on it.
3) Dems consultants say focus on ICE is a political loser.

This is what I hear from everyone I've had honor of speaking to in MN: wake up full of cortisol, check local socials & text chains to see latest horror, get marching orders for where to stand guard/send food/pitch in, go out in winter gear, try & sleep. Repeat.

Release Yari to a hospital! Depriving a woman with leukemia of hospital care for months on end is not making us safer or making America anything but Nazi Germany.
