The U.S. spent over $997 BILLION on the Pentagon in 2024.
That's over a THIRD of the entire world’s military spending.
Crazy that we have more than enough money to throw at our bloated war machine but not enough to provide health care or affordable housing.
Our system is broken.

Instead of stealing Greenland from Denmark, let’s steal some of their policies.
In Denmark:
- Health care and college are free.
- The starting wage is $22/hr.
- Paid parental leave is 1 year.
- Paid vacation is 6 weeks.
- All workers get pensions.

They're called public records for a reason. Starting today, WIRED will *stop paywalling* articles that are primarily based on public records obtained through the Freedom of Information Act, becoming the first publication to partner with @freedom.press to offer this for our new coverage.
Wired is dropping paywalls for FOIA-based reporting. Others should follow
As the administration does its best to hide public records from the public, Wired magazine is stepping up to help stem the secrecy

Delay, Deny, Depose... It works.
Challenge every illegal, immoral, illogical, impractical order. Question their authority, their competence, their understanding. Bog them down, gum up the works, tell them to "go to hell," smile and play dumb, ask how & why.
Give them nothing without a struggle.

Trump has signed an executive order declassifying files regarding JFK, RFK, and MLK Jr.
Weird how he didn't include Epstein in that list.

AOC for Prez:
1. Focus on working class vs. elites
2. Focus on breaking up monopolies
3. Social issues divide too many centrists. Lay off until elected, then jam like trump & project 2025
3. Build a larger coalition of high profile common sense DC politicians than AOC, Bernie, & Warren
