Demand a reconciliation package that funds #healthcare and #education, not mass #deportations and #militarywaste. https://click.actionnetwork.org/ss/c/u001.qUXRBnqZ7T8nxbpAcIVwoUsWLkUMWlo_0JmZttSlm39h2FLSrlfNPU3ytzp066OYzDaSbTKAVlddSevqfe1kCOvPTu9WSVgSuL5a9wepG5kszdvA8sPZZCUdd8mAlqAf-EdmMg2LZar9qUF-26azdBxMEp22s4q4e3ZcTd3KdIP07rJrV3qLxr6pJpvvsh2ZqSlznPvcUW7saBTD11wZrtBLrUKlU3G3QijZ9K2mpgTsqWd2cOBwVxeID7Asv1GWyln9aoGwzaW2Zi34hHNeaphVR6AeiYObWKbS84_mKk98zOta5ga-Dg17WbIzBzVFBQS3GjwyCqiGLmWhV971-2IZapyl0THld0wls0GNOJ6RWPgmOPCUrp3FOqc4QyFYsldkSuJTiPoueAE4JRfvs4irRychO7e-oW1Nrv_qf5Cyb5ZRolmnI81kF8rAvdz9vvMMcDWA1G6zcqoaa0F9lE_ZhbiBMhud9go3dIn4KNVxeeuRYxjypqSiik0nX4NIH8rWg813-ScUPcsS2Luubg/4gt/1WVn34A2SdCVjgg0F4DUag/h2/h001.RdO2bpZ9hebgmmSv69dvdlbi0BtZhpg-TTTM9NjG-1o
JB aka J LeeThe Army’s new M10 Booker "light tank" is too heavy to air-drop, too late to be useful, and too outdated to meet modern needs—critics call it a $17B case study in broken procurement. #militarywaste #defensefail https://washingtonhorizon.com/too-heavy-and-too-late-meet-armys-m10-booker-a-tank-without-a-mission/
Too heavy and too late; Meet Army’s M10 Booker, a tank without a mission
Defense One’s Meghann Myers covers the development of the US Army’s M10 Booker—meant to be a nimble, air-droppable “light tank” for infantry support—that arrived years late, overweight, and unusable on key bases like Fort Campbell. Originally envisioned in 2013 as a spiritual successor to the 16-ton
Luscombe8A"Problems of Plenty" explores if and how the United States justified the destruction and fire-sale of its 150,000 surplus military aircraft after the Second World War, along with those tens of thousands also surrendered by Axis forces.

watchpocket 🍄🌱Today is the *18th day straight* of "fleet week" helicopters (and the occasional supersonic jet) patrolling back and forth over the Hudson River, NYC & Northern NJ, non-stop, every minute of the day from 8 AM to 9 PM. "Fleet week" ended a week ago. When will it stop? #FuckFleetWeek #NoisePollution #MilitaryWaste #NavyPropaganda #StopTheChop
Dick Smiths Fair Go SupportersDear Australians, what can we do to show our opposition to the #nuclearSubmarines and other forms of #nuclear toxicity and #waste?
How can we show that we are not craven for wars and #militaryWaste like the sheltered few on their private islands and in their underground bunkers.
How can we enforce #degrowth and a return to sanity in #leadership?
