    Imagine what we could do at home if we refocused the grift of the military-industrial complex to building up our communities.

        We could end poverty, homelessness, hunger. But we never do.

        What did Obama do in his 8 years to alleviate some of those issues, Oh that's right, ZERO...!!! The only thing he accomplished was dividing the country even more than before he took office...

        Again, because you didn't seem to catch the gist of this thread, the military industrial complex is the heart of the problem, one that isn't dependant of presidency. So invoking your boogie man Obama adds nothing.

        Hey, Mr. MLK, agree with you! We need to raise objection collectively for the use of our tax dollars towards war. We need to unite and get this movement going. https://www.poorpeoplescampaign.org

        Also, a good way to express care and concern for those Syrians harmed by Assad would be to welcome more refugees to the US.

        This country should have heeded Eisenhower's words when he said to beware of the military industrial complex.

        Awesome words, Shaun. Will you please retweet the thread here? Help get people talking about a way to stop Trump from making war as a distraction.https://twitter.com/cartokurtis/status/983715326322991104 …

        We cannot keep letting one man in the United States of America decided if the entire nation will go to war. Bring #AUMF back to Congress. It matters now more than ever.

        Fund schools. Create jobs. Provide health care. Address animal welfare. Build affordable housing. Rebuild roads and bridges. Feed the poor. This is my #dream. What’s yours?

        Let's be honest, nobody is coming to save us and there will always be some poor country out there who did X to deserve getting bombed. The war machine owns both parties and either we must stand up to it or this country will fold on itself.

        Susan Sarandon wanted a revolution. This is it. Innocent people will lose their lives and this will go on for another 4 years because people will have her mindset again in 2020 when they’re favorite is not the chosen one

        Imagine what your mother, sister, wife or daughter would be going through if they were Syrian nationals. While you watch them killed with chemical agents that you couldn’t do anything to stop. Imagine that pain, suffering, suffocation and death. Except you’re not smart enough.
