I want to cry. The US is wealthy. We could do so much if we spent some of that wealth on things that helped people where and how they needed it instead of spending so much on military and funneling much of the foreign humanitarian aid we do give into USian multinationals — often military contractors themselves.

We could totally help people build and staff community-level health and mental health clinics. In places like Bekasi and here at home. If enough of us wanted to. If more of us cared about the quality of other people’s lives than the taxes we pay.

One question: These didn’t trigger me at all (I’m not triggered by a lot of things, luckily), but I wondered if a trigger warning might be of use here? I’m thinking the second photo is especially brutal is all.
