      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.

          “Spend less money on bombing other countries, and more money taking care of people in this country” is a controversial perspective in America. It should not be controversial.

          We should be expanding the vote/democracy to people in DC (PR & the territories too). But we never do...but we will with collective action! #DCStatehoodpic.twitter.com/6uPukOWE9m

          Imagine if people would stop having 6,7,8 or 9 kids @ShaunKing You do realize there is a population problem right? People can't be victims for choosing to live where they do. I've moved for work. It's part of life. Some of these cities CANNOT economically sustain the people.

          war is more profitable for our government as compared to investing in its people. only way elite stay status quo and the rest of us fight the wars they profit off of. we will never learn from our mistakes because we forgot what humanity was a long time ago.

          Shawn they don't want to do that because it's would make an even playing field, and then we all would be equal.

          Or even abroad. For the cost of the Iraq War we could have invested $96,000 in every person living in Iraq.

          Guess we should just sit around while dictators gas innocent people? If we did, you’d complain about that as well.

          That will never happen. The wealthy, decision makers of the US would not stand for that. Precolonization, there was no class system. Since 1492, a class system. Men better than women, rich better than poor, white better than native, Hispanic & blk.
