THE PENTAGON BUDGET JUST HIT A TRILLION DOLLARS.
Not a single pundit from either political party said “how are we going to pay for it?!”
Don’t dare tell us we cannot ALL have healthcare, housing, and education.

Happy May 1st. The value of your labor belongs to you and the actions of the state are best understood as as a coordinated effort to distract you from this. The state fears an organized and unified proletariat like it fears death and rightly so. Power to the workers and power to the people
