We need to reinstate the Fairness Doctrine & repeal the Telecommunications Act. There will be a new prez in a week and we shouldn’t just wait to see what he will do; we should think about what it is we want. The American people have gotten into the habit of asking for too little. — PolitiTweet.org
Marianne Williamson @marwilliamson
The Telecommunications Act of 1996 allowed a small group corporations to become the monopolistic owners of mainstream media. There are rules by which they abide & one of them is to never criticize the military industrial complex. Most presidential candidates don’t even go near it — PolitiTweet.org

The militarism that has become such a key factor in American foreign policy is a causal factor in the militaristic vibe & behavior of our domestic police. There will no fundamental correction of our police brutality issue if we refuse to address this link. — PolitiTweet.org

@Nins11065 It’s not a problem that he’s making money! The money he’s making is not the issue; the money Raytheon, Boeing, and Northrop Grumman make is the https://t.co/D9EA6tmJBu’s a problem that a Raytheon board member will head the Pentagon, as has been the case with the last few of them. — PolitiTweet.org

@HoustonforJoe I don’t begrudge his personal compensation either. It’s standard. But someone that tied into the defense industry should not be heading the Pentagon. Nor should a general. — PolitiTweet.org

@Kei4Nuance It’s mid pandemic too. So are we not supposed to address any other problem as long as those things are going on? And do you really think they’re not all related in some way? — PolitiTweet.org
Marianne Williamson @marwilliamson
For America to repair itself it’s going to take more than looking at single issues. It’s going to take a willingness to look deeply into the mirror at all the ways, not just some of the ways, we function in direct and indirect contrast to the values on which we purport to stand. — PolitiTweet.org
Marianne Williamson @marwilliamson
@PersistThisMess That’s not the crisis at all. That amount of money is standard enough; it’s not about his money personally. The crisis is how it has now become the norm for people who are executives or board members at defense contractors to then head the Pentagon. Nor should it be a general. — PolitiTweet.org

We need to move from a dirty economy to a clean economy, from a war economy to a peace economy, and from a sickness care system to a true healthcare system. Ultimately our lives and the lives of our children will depend on it. — PolitiTweet.org

It’s not just people in other countries affected by this corruption. First it’s money siphoned off from domestic spending, plus last year’s model of equipment - constantly & unnecessarily replaced - is then sent home to local police forces, thus the militarization of our police. — PolitiTweet.org

The ultimate triumph of the military industrial complex is that we now have a generation of Americas who as often as not seem to see no problem whatsoever with the outsize influence of defense contractors on our military policy...and military budget. — PolitiTweet.org
Marianne Williamson @marwilliamson
@brookebarrick For people with experience in the military to serve on boards of defense contractors is appropriate enough, but for people who serve on the board of military contractors to lead the military is not appropriate. Yet that interaction has so become the norm. — PolitiTweet.org
Marianne Williamson @marwilliamson
@MichelleAlcon Unbelievable question. — PolitiTweet.org
Marianne Williamson @marwilliamson
Why do we have a $760B defense budget while some of our schools don’t even have school supplies & people lack healthcare? In part because we spend hundreds of billions of dollars every year above & beyond what the Pentagon even says it needs. This has nothing to do with security! — PolitiTweet.org
Marianne Williamson @marwilliamson
We have such a war economy that $.53 of every $ spent is defense related. But money spent on education & infrastructure is actually a more lucrative investment & defense jobs could be re-purposed for peace-related activities. We need to move from a war economy to a peace economy — PolitiTweet.org
Marianne Williamson @marwilliamson
Defense contractors have such a hold on American military policy that an element of war profiteering is laced into the way we function. We need a movement for peace that is equivalent to the environmental movement. The Right is okay with what is & the Left has basically given up. — PolitiTweet.org

Dual endorsement! Two great candidates primarying Steny Hoyer: the first Black & Queer woman running in her district @MeetMckayla & America’s youngest Black mayor @MayorByrd. Both are great progressives! Let’s help them compete with Hoyer's PAC avalanche: https://t.co/BrklwxRmJV — PolitiTweet.org
