Can you imagine if we had instead invested those funds in climate, health care, and education instead of lining the pockets of the military industrial complex?
In the 20 years following 9/11, the U.S. spent over $21 trillion on militarization.
Yesterday, the House passed an NDAA bringing us closer to a $1 trillion Pentagon budget.
For too long, hawks have used the tragedy of 9/11 to supercharge militarism at the cost of our needs and safety.
Enough.

I'm horrified to hear that Charlie Kirk was shot at an event in Utah.
Democratic societies will always have political disagreements, but we must never allow America to become a country that confronts those disagreements with violence.
Mark and I are praying for Charlie's recovery.

This isn’t bad luck or coincidence or predestination.
This is our choice. To live in a nation where our leaders teach hate, and military style guns are everywhere.

Colorado became the first state to mandate polling places inside all county jails—and turnout among voters who are detained in jails skyrocketed.
It grew by roughly 900% between 2022 and 2024.

Super helpful breakdown of the new EO on policing 👇🏻
Trump's new policing directive may please some law enforcement officials, but some experts say certain provisions are redundant and ignore how police agencies really work.
