I told Congress they're killing poor kids in Gaza by buying bombs, and they're paying for it by kicking poor kids off Medicaid in the US. This was the authorities' response.

On 6/12 we officially launched @upinarms_us in DC with the giant money obelisk. It's big enough to hold $100 BILLION dollars in $100 bills, or the amount of money the Pentagon spends on nuclear weapons. IT'S RIDICULOUS! Join me and Up In Arms to reduce wasteful government…

What could the US buy with $250M? An F-35 jet OR 50,000 school kids could get a decent education. Which would you choose? Get Baked with Ben in the kitchen where he fuses his love for food and @upinarms_us a movement to reclaim the American Dream and bring common sense to…

"A cause of America’s malaise at home is its illegitimate and hated empire abroad. The U.S. military-industrial complex doesn’t put America first. The Defense Department deserves to be focused, not further bloated. This bill goes in the wrong direction." nytimes.com/2025/07/03/opi…

There’s something that’s driving me up a wall - the insane size of our nuclear arsenal. @upinarms_us

The US has 800 military bases globally yet only has 5% of the global population. The US trying to control the rest of the world is NOT democratic. It doesn't add up.

chart from my forthcoming book The Ghost Budget shows performance if top5 DOD contractors vs S&P:

A $1 trillion war budget, and $1.1 trillion cut from healthcare and food assistance for the needy. Our leaders have lost their minds and their hearts, and have thereby sold out the soul of America to weapons manufacturers and war profiteers.

.@EmLBelcher moderates a key panel at the @WinWithoutWar & @ArmsControlNow event “From Trinity to Today” to discuss today’s nuclear risks & how to build the movement the moment demands. Check out the work these orgs, and all our grantees are doing every day, and join in!

🍦 Ben Cohen, co-founder of @benandjerrys, was arrested last month for interrupting a Senate hearing on U.S. aid to Israel, calling out what he says is the genocide of children in Gaza. 🇵🇸 This wasn’t a stunt. This is who @YoBenCohen is.

BREAKING: The reconciliation bill enacted recently pushes annual U.S. military spending beyond the $1 trillion mark—likely triggering a more than half-trillion-dollar transfer of wealth from taxpayers to military contractors. [THREAD] watson.brown.edu/costsofwar/pap…

War propaganda is EVERYWHERE and they’re using OUR money to celebrate with these weapons. #warpropaganda

Just a reminder… there are over 2000 verses in the Bible that talk about how much God cares for the poor. Keep posting your favorite Bible verses about God’s concern for the poor… while our politicians consider making a deal with the devil, cutting resources to our most…

$1.1 trillion cut from health care. Then bloating the Pentagon budget by $150 billion. This is the exact opposite of what people need and want.

Did Trump actually read a history book? I doubt it. When, in 1947, the US changed the Departments name from War to Defense, critics proclaimed it a form of propaganda. I agree. Young people will enlist if they believe they'll be fighting in defense of their country & freedom.

Nothing screams happy 4th of July quite like gutting healthcare access for tens of millions of Americans in the name of tax breaks for billionaires and their cronies Forsure dude!
