Israel for the third time this week bombs Lebanon with banned white phosphorus.
This is another war crime!
Oh.
βWe have agreedβ β how nice of them! Surely theyβre doing this work pro bono right?

Sorry, I meant "$1Trillion"! Oh, and let's not forget about ICE funding...i think I heard $90B! Projected cost of $1B/yr for National Guard deployment to US cities.
Now war..
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.
Sadly, the US annually spends almost $1B on their military, almost 2-3 times more than China does, the second biggest military spender. Infrastructure, universal healthcare, social services, maternity care, education.. all takes a back seat to the war machine.
Dear Womenβs USA Olympic Hockey Team β First, congratulations! Second: I drove race cars for 19 yrs & the amount of misogynistic crap I put up with in the garage was insane. The U.S. Menβs Hockey Team has now shown you their true colors. Believe them. Theyβre not friends of your team or women in general. Iβm so tired of this misogyny in sports & everywhere else in American life, to be honest. The patriarchy sucks. Grow the fuck up or hand the keys over to the ladies. Maybe itβs time we drive.
Leilani Munter, y'all.
The ICE surge in Minnesota cost $280M to detain 4k people. Of those- only 30 were accused of violent crimes.
$9 million per capture of the "worst of the worst".

Why do American taxpayers provide almost $4B per year to Israel?
They get what Americans don't... Subsidized higher education, universal health care, maternity leave...
Why not slash that "US AID"?
How can anyone remain complicit, defend or support the Epstein regime?
I'm never 100% sure something is true until these people deny it.
Has he spoken to Christian Nationalist Kristy Noem about her treatment of dogs?

I still have Poilievre's back. Even though he never called me to thank me for supporting him or paid for me to go to Calgary and hang out with his incel buddies, I still support him.
But if another MP crosses the floor, I will, too.
The Stock Market is a mood ring for the rich. Nothing more.
Christian Nationalists are treating the Epstein files like they treat their Bibles and our Constitution: They are *ignoring* them.
Romania has decoupled economic growth from pollution faster than anywhere else in EU. Its net greenhouse gas emissions intensity fell 88% between 1990 & 2023, so each euroβs worth of economic activity heats planet 10 times less. Emissions have plunged by 75%. www.theguardian.com/environment/...
"We can have democracy in this country, or we can have great wealth concentrated in the hands of a few, but we can't have both." βJustice Louis Brandeis
Words spoken many years ago that are just as relevant today.
We must continue the fight to get big money out of politics.
The last few years, I've really gotten into k-pop, which is a misnomer, cause there's good rock, jazz, rap, etc. Very little of it is in English so I just rely on the feel of the music and then, make up your own lyrics, or not..

What a great photo of Brazilian alpine skier Lucas Pinheiro Braathen, the first South American to ever win a medal at the Winter Olympic Games.
