Amazing how fast money appears for war.
The post reflects a political viewpoint linking economic inequality with foreign policy.
Funny how there’s always money for war.
The war on Iran is unfolding alongside a wave of mass layoffs in the US. These are not separate crises. They are two sides of the same offensive by the ruling class against the working class.
Actions in the moment say more than speeches later.
Hard to look brave when the cameras show the whole picture.
Same playbook, same results.
Real life is funnier than SNL lately.
There are a lot of posts out there with the close-up visual of Markwayne Mullin on January 6, but this is a better perspective.
He’s not protecting others; he’s protecting himself and hiding. You can see plenty of people at the entry door, ready to take on the insurrectionists, but not Markwayne.

Claims of antisemitism should always be taken seriously.
This is honestly one of the most anti-Jewish things I’ve ever seen from the United States government.
The cover has a light blue background tinge. Centered in the upper third is the title and underneath is the author. The illustrators name is centered in the lower one-sixth.
