@Mary625@mstdn.social @msquebanh Im a bit afraid... and extremely sad. I just can't fathom taking either the side of the occupier, or the "safe" narrative that says Palestinian guerilla warfare against an occupier is just "terrorism".
On top of all of this, there is the propaganda! The propaganda is SO bad lately that you have to do your damn research before offering opinions! What about 70 years of settler violence, supported by the Israeli state, ON TOP of military violence??
@Mary625@mstdn.social @msquebanh biden just fucking said....... he's asking for ONE HUNDRED BILLION MORE for war funding.
#GENERALACTION NOW!! Before we have NOTHING left!

For Israel and Ukraine alone. What is all this money for? This brings our yearly total to around 1.2 trillion, or more if you understand that the nuclear weapons...arent in the DoD budget. They are in the dept of Energy budget.
@milkman76 @Mary625 OMFG. This is a very poor decision. That much for war funding but not enough to give their citizens universal health care & fund schools & other important public services better? It's not lack of funds. It's lack of priorities that help their citizens.
How will this affect the US energy budget? I don't know enough about how US deals with their budgets.

I don't know enough about how US deals with their budgets.Badly, in a word. Basically it's a process of the party which controls each house trying to push funding into causes they like while goring the other side of the aisle's sacred cows, and the people and the country can just fuck right off because when did YOU last funnel five million dollars to your "representative"?
