@KelleyBVlahos Thank you for reading and sharing Kelley! I particularly enjoyed getting to get into the archives and unearth some of the Winpisinger material about his advocacy for disarmament and cutting the Pentagon budget.

“As Barnes’s new report points out, the job impacts of military spending have been diminishing over time ... the notion that most jobs in the arms industry pay well and have great benefits is also outdated.” Our recent briefing by @tkbarnes in @Forbes 👇 forbes.com/sites/williamh…

More than half of next year's pending $1 trillion military budget would go to private companies. Over the last quarter century, 53% of Pentagon spending has gone to military contractors:

Had @infinite_jaz not filmed and posted the footage there would be no coverage of this story, but this is the daily abuse Palestinians face. They want you to believe it’s separate from Gaza, but it’s all connected by Israel’s decades-long, illegal occupation of Palestinian land.

These children, like all children, deserve to live. If this principle dies at the door of Palestinian life, you’re likely afflicted w racist supremacy. Dr. Alaa Al Najjar’s home was targeted w her children inside. She received her children, who burned to death, while on duty.

What a Looming $1 Trillion Pentagon Budget Means for Jobs inkstickmedia.com/what-a-looming… @tkbarnes via @inkstickmedia pours some cold water (read: facts) on the myth that more defense $ = more jobs: "Despite perpetually increasing defense budgets, the industry has hemorrhaged jobs."

The Palestinians that were released today were women and CHILDREN. Israel is an occupying force that regularly detains children and holds Palestinians without charge, but they’re never called hostages. The difference in language is by design. 🇮🇱: Hostages 🇵🇸: Prisoners

As Palestinians hope that talks of a “ceasefire” are finally true after enduring 15 months of relentless atrocities, Israel is bombing them in TENTS (again). They’re nothing if not consistent, trying to kill as people as they can until the last moment.

No, it’s not a ‘box of surprises.’ Like anywhere else, stability in the Middle East cannot thrive on repression, injustice & impunity. Yet, Western powers ignore this, propping up strongmen & arming them unconditionally. When statues fall again, it’s not a surprise—it’s a pattern
Aaron David Miller@aarondmiller2

The Middle East is nothing if it's not a box of surprises missed by great powers, small ones, and seasoned analysts alike. The HTS offensive and the implosion of Assad's control in Syria following October 7 is the second event in a year plus that has rocked the region.

In addition to never actually providing evidence, why doesn’t the IDF just apprehend the worker? They’re in Gaza. WCK and others provide coordinates. Why kill everyone? Why use a bomb? The answer is that it’s about collective punishment and mass extermination.
Khalil Sayegh@KhalilJeries

Israel targeted World Central Kitchen staff again, marking at least the third time they have been targeted. The Israeli military claimed one of the WCK workers was involved in the October 7th attacks. However, as usual, Israel provided no evidence to support its claim.
