🚨 “The US military is the world’s largest institutional consumer of fossil fuels & 1 of the largest sources of environmental destruction.” Thanks @shilpichhotray.bsky.social @abbymartin.bsky.social 4 tying these 2 issues together & @climatenews.bsky.social 4 clarifying the stakes. It’s time to act!

“5 states have not adopted a state minimum wage: Alabama, Louisiana, Mississippi, South Carolina & Tennessee. 3 states, Georgia, Oklahoma & Wyoming, have a minimum wage below $7.25/hour. In all 8 of these states, the federal minimum wage of $7.25/hour generally applies.” www.ncsl.org/labor-and-em...

An important quote from Eisenhower’s April 16, 1953 speech. War is never the answer. ☮️

Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed. This world in arms is not spending money alone.

It is spending the sweat of its laborers, the genius of its scientists, the hopes of its children.

The cost of one modern heavy bomber is this: a modern brick school in more than 30 cities.

It is two electric power plants, each serving a town of 60,000 population.

It is two fine, fully equipped hospitals. It is some 50 miles of concrete highway.

We pay for a single fighter plane with a half million bushels of wheat.

We pay for a single destroyer with new homes that could have housed more than 8,000 people.

This, I repeat, is the best way of life to be found on the road. the world has been taking.

This is not a way of life at all, in any true sense. Under the cloud of threatening war, it is humanity hanging from a cross of iron.

Well the video is comprehensive & if it wasn’t “his design” he clearly says Israel’s policy *worked brilliantly*, so he did think it “was a good one” & now he’s rejected a “proposed plan for establishing a Palestinian state” (screenshot) as “unrealistic” so what’s his plan? Trying 2 understand.

From @owenjones.bsky.social on the “other site”: “Adjusted for population size, that means Gaza has been subjected to 135 October 7ths, and counting. That's the equivalent of almost exactly 1 October 7th every single day since this began.”

Biden’s numbers are worsening, but you think he doesn’t care. Interesting. I think he probably cares a lot and all of us voters have the power to change him. It’s called using our leverage and it’s dumb not to try. Instead of being snarky, why not try?

You asked where he’s not listening and I answered. And I’m not alone. But you keep telling yourself Biden’s got this.

Hmmm, let’s not get too excited. $127 Billion is a drop in the bucket. Remember “43 million borrowers currently owe the government $1.6 Trillion.” Big numbers trip people up all the time.

A Civilian Climate Corp maybe necessary, but it is nowhere near sufficient. Listen to @rokhanna.bsky.social and cancel the Willow Project, declare a climate emergency and end fossil fuel subsidies! Then we can celebrate a victory.
