$200B, the Pentagon's insane ask for the illegal Iran war, is comparable to all planned spending on energy and climate over *10 years* in Biden's signature bill, which Trumpists almost completely repealed last summer.
Even though I feel I have seen everything and am immune to the shock, news like this still leaves me reeling on how immorally depraved Trump's entire government is. www.nytimes.com/2026/03/16/h...

Love it!
I might not be where I am today if it hadn't been for picking up one of Susan George's books at university. It helped turn me into an activist, to my first job in the Jubilee debt campaign, and finally brought me to work at TNI. I will miss her hugely but her influence and legacy will live on.

ICE funding exceeds the military budgets of all but 15 countries. This table ranks the proposed $30 billion ICE budget for 2026 among the largest military budgets worldwide. It has 3 columns — ranking, military or agency, and funding — and 40 rows, 39 of which are country military budgets and 1 is the ICE budget. ICE is ranked 16th, larger than the military budgets of countries including Canada, Spain, Brazil, Mexico, Sweden, Iran, and Switzerland. The ICE budget refers to the proposed 2026 discretionary spending in H.R.7147 plus average annual reconciliation funding in P.L.119-21. Military budgets are sourced from the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute. Chart and analysis by Stephen Semler.
After a string of ICE murders, Chuck Schumer and Hakeem Jeffries proposed reforms — and $11 billion more for ICE.
Including reconciliation bill funding, the Schumer-Jeffries plan would give ICE a $30 billion budget, higher than all but 15 militaries worldwide:

Fascism doesn’t rise by accident: it’s organised through capitalism, fear, and targeted wars on migrants, drugs, and people in poverty.

The UK government has agreed a deal with Donald Trump to hike NHS drugs prices. The government is refusing to say how much this will cost or how it will be paid for. Tell Wes Streeting to come clean: act.globaljustice.org.uk/tell-wes-str...
Fuck ICE. Fuck Trump. Fucking Murderers. And all my admiration for those standing up in Twin cities so bravely against this modern day U.S. gestapo. This has to be a turning point

Deputy Chair @repilhan.bsky.social & Whip @chuygarcia.house.gov : “As Trump threatens land strikes on Venezuela, every U.S. Representative will face a simple, up-or-down choice on the House floor this week: Will you stand up for the Constitution and vote to stop Trump’s illegal warmaking or not?”

Trump has murdered at least 34 people in the Caribbean. The administration “ is selecting boats more or less at random, and intentionally killing people who could be captured.” From Ryan Cooper: trib.al/4pogGiw
While the US & Europe ramp up military spending, millions live in poverty.

Great analysis by @pmbigger.bsky.social and Khem Rogaly on why the vast expansion of the military industrial complex does not serve the working class and creates a more dangerous planet jacobin.com/2025/10/mili...
Excited to be part of this really important initiative. Climate justice is impossible in an ever-more militarised economy and society. We need new pathways forward...
When I was a teenager there was a bus direct from my hometown in Germany to London - we had a British army base, and this direct bus connection was one of the benefits of that. One summer I went on that bus to go volunteer in an old people's home in Southend-on-Sea. I had just turned 18 and was... 🧵
Congrats Thea. That's quite the line-up of reviewers! I can't wait to read it!
The destruction of the UAWC seed bank in Hebron is a deliberate attack on Palestinian food sovereignty and peasant resistance. This assault targets the right to land, life, and self-determination. Peasant seeds are seeds of resistance. Hold Israel accountable.
