Just a reminder that these politician tweets don’t erase their voting records on enriching defense contractors, deportations, militarizing the border, continuing to fund a corrupt Pentagon and privatizing the VA #VeteransDay #ReclaimArmisticeDay

A reminder that the Taliban surrendered to the US a few weeks after the initial invasion in 2001. US politicians and generals rejected it. They chose profit and war over peace & stability. US imperialism is a cancer that will destroy us all if we don't figure out how to stop it

“We’ve been opposed to tar sands oil, the pipeline, and environmental damage…its connection to military spending & it being the biggest polluter in the world…If we’re going to have peace, we have a lot of work to do,” @VFPNational as #stopline3 action approaches MN Capital.
