Then you need to REJECT all AIPAC money and COMMIT to blocking additional funding for an ILLEGAL war.

Overview of plan that Hegseth is trying to implement regarding targeting Anthropic to produce autonomous kill drones by 2027. They are also going to be tasked with mass surveillance. Threatened Actions If Anthropic does not comply by the deadline, Hegseth has threatened the following: Blacklisting: Labeling Anthropic a "supply-chain risk," which would effectively ban the company from government contracts.

Contract Termination: Ending Anthropic's existing $200 million contract with the Department of Defense.

This is dark...we thought Donald wanting to shoot protesters in the legs was bad. Now he's aiming to mass surveil and kill protesters, or anyone else that they consider a threat.

Medicare for all, paid leave, universal childcare.

Busting up big corporations and tackling Wall Street’s greed.

We will never let you blend back into society as if nothing ever happened.

We know who you are.

He was protecting another American citizen, and they murdered him.

This can’t be repeated enough. Not only won’t they investigate, they may never even tell us who did this.

Think about the message that sends to the next ones. Nobody is safe.

Thank you. 🙏🙏 Is this fight that I'm seeing here? More of this Senator Schumer. I know when to give credit where credit is due. Truly, thank you. ICE is shaking people to the core and making people question what kind of country we are. Some say we've crossed the Rubicon.
