The United States has spent $103 BILLION on the Iraq War so far, with nothing to show for it. For $103 billion, we could have: - provided free lunches for every schoolkid ($11bn) - provided healthcare to all Americans ($33bn) - provided college education for every kid who can't afford it ($20bn)

Publicly owned assets don't belong to politicians, and I'm so tired of them treating these assets like their own private property that they can get rid of on a whim, or sell to help out their buddies.

Actually we should just give citizenship to every undocumented person in the United States who wants it. Walking over an imaginary line isn't some great moral atrocity. Making people live in the shadows as a permanent underclass absolutely IS.

POV: You are an interdimensional alien warlord. You destroy an entire planet and its inhabitants then slip back into your own dimension, where you think you’ll be safe from consequences. But no. One man will make you pay for your crimes.
9 panel comic
Panel 1:
The view from the cockpit of a spacecraft. Two green alien hands grip the controls. A planet can be seen in front of the ship.

Panel 2:
One of the alien hands move to the left and presses a red button. Two laser beams fire from the ship directing into the centre of the planet below.

Panel 3:
The planet begins to rupture under the force of the lasers.

Panel 4:
The planet completely explodes. The ship and the pilot are bathed in a blood-red glow.

Panels 5, 6, and 7:
The alien pilot turns the ship 180 degrees so he is facing empty space and the dying planet is behind him.

Panels 8 and 9:
The alien presses a green button and the space craft accelerates to warp speed. A dimensional rift opens in the distance. The viewing window fills with white light.9 panel comic
Panel 1:
The alien space craft is travelling through a dimensional rift and is surrounded by white light.

Panel 2:
The ship comes out of warp drive. Through the viewing window we now see a reddish purple planet with rings around it. The alien’s home world.

Panels 3 and 4:
The space craft draws nearer to the planet.

Panels 5 and 6:
The craft drops down through the planets atmosphere. Through the dust of the rings and past the clouds.

Panels 7, 8, and 9: 
The planet’s surface is revealed. It is jagged and harsh with a poisonous looking lake cutting through the landscape. The ship touches down, kicking up a cloud of dust.8 panel comic
Panel 1:
We look down at the alien’s body as he removes his seat belt.

Panels 2 and 3:
The alien gets up and makes his way towards the large circular door at the back of the ship.

Panels 4 and 5:
The alien releases the door mechanism. He is home. He has destroyed an entire planet and population and he will face no consequences. Or so he thinks. Unfortunately for him, the door to his ship opens to reveal…

Panel 6:
Lieutenant Columbo standing on the planet’s surface.
The detective is looking at a small black rift hovering in the air in front of him.
He addresses the alien directly and says “Sir, is this a window into an endless void?”

Panel 7:
Columbo takes a closer look at the rift and continues, “Mrs Columbo wants one of these things”

Panel 8:
Tossing up his hands in mock exasperation, he adds “I said to her, why do you wanna stare into an abyss? We gotta tv!”

I talk and talk and talk about how anticommunism is deeply baked into the American psyche, and still, at a time when old people and sick people and disabled people are having their lives snuffed out in Cuba because of a blockade this country imposed, it's still "but Lenin was bad actually" discourse

This is an excellent time for someone to sell trump some stealth missiles trump: where are they? Me: *lordess of war* If you could see them, they wouldn't be very stealthy would they?
Trump looking confused and listing to the left in a yellow chair.

“This is an incredible plane — it’s stealth, you can’t see it,” Trump said. “So when I talk to even people from the other side, they’re trying to order our plane. They like the fact that you can’t see it. I said, ‘how would it do in battle with your plane?’ They say, ‘well we have one problem — we can’t see your plane.’ That’s a big problem.”

After months of relentless rapid response in Minneapolis, members of Defend the 612 had a moment to breathe and reflect on the lessons they’ve learned, the grief they carry, and the citywide fellowship they hope will endure. The crisis is not over, and I’m grateful they made time to speak with me.

The problem with the kneejerk liberal reaction of "I don't like Maudro, but..." is that is implies that the empire actually cares about Venezuela having a good, Democratic leader. In reality, the U.S. would happily back a mass murdering dictator who handed them oil rights.

I have at least one moment of rage about this every day. This week the USA is going to intentionally starve people. Why? To cause harm. What is the economic impact of intentionally starving people? For every 1 dollar of cut SNAP benefits, society loses $14 to $20 at the federal level. Seems costly

None of us should feel exempt or invulnerable, because if they can do this to our neighbors, they can come for us, too. That said, those of us who are not presently among those being targeted should not focus on our own fear and vulnerability. We should support those in the immediate path of harm.
