$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all planned spending on energy and climate over *10 years* in Biden's signature bill, which Trumpists almost completely repealed last summer.

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 Pirate Lord Donald Trump - The American Prospect All evidence suggests the president is directing the military to assassinate random civilians off the coast of South America, and thereby violating norms and laws that stretch back to before the founding of this country.

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

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.

How reducing the US military budget would also reduce emissions New research shows that even with modest reductions in military funding, the United States would keep a whole lot of carbon out of the atmosphere.

Increased military emissions is one of the dangers of increased military spending, but the bigger concern as I explained to @grist.org is that an ever more militarised world is the opposite of climate justice. grist.org/climate/how-...
