US Senate just passed NDAA 85-14 to allocate $895B for war.

A reminder:
•End homelessness: $30B
•Insulin for diabetics: $40B
•Universal Pre-K: $60B
•Universal 4-yr-college: $70B
•SNAP for 40M Americans: $80B
•Cancel all medical debt: $140B

And we'd still have $475B left over

Mastodon is more like a potluck. We're all bringing dishes. It's a mess. Kids are running all over. But we are, at least, real people sharing real things.
