@JimGepperth We do know how! And 4 factors statistically increase peace & decrease violence: Expanded economic opportunities for women, expanded educational opportunities for children, reduction of violence against women & the amelioration of unnecessary human despair. — PolitiTweet.org

@Thinking_Voice 2/ When I was growing up there was still a draft, so people yelled about all this because it was visceral, it was personal. I’m NOT saying we should bring back the draft, but I’m saying that the lack of it makes it too easy to keep this issue on the periphery of our consciousness — PolitiTweet.org
Marianne Williamson @marwilliamson
@Thinking_Voice 1/ We allowed this to happen. We haven’t been talking about it. We haven’t pushed for it. Quietude is the enemy.We support a lot of politicians who don’t say a word & neither do we. It’s when we change that the system will start to change. Slow or fast isn’t the issue right now. — PolitiTweet.org
Marianne Williamson @marwilliamson
@mcdanos1 When you’re aware of something, talk about it; that’s how things change. That’s why there’s more environmental awareness; why Biden has so many climate change people in the new admin etc. Politicians only do what people force them to do. Refuse to shut up about things that matter — PolitiTweet.org

7/ People are homeless & sick, children hungry & uneducated and our infrastructure sucks so Raytheon, Northrup Grumman & Boeing can get more contracts. We allow core needs of our society to go unaddressed so a few people can make more money. This has nothing to do with security. — PolitiTweet.org
Marianne Williamson @marwilliamson
6/ $ spent on infrastructure & education add more to US economy than defense investment. Does military create jobs? Yes! But those same job skills could as easily be applied to infrastructure jobs etc. We spend billions *above* what the Pentagon says it needs for a strong defense — PolitiTweet.org
Marianne Williamson @marwilliamson
@IndyRedoubt I respect that those jobs are needed by people. It’s just that the same skills that are being applied to building tanks we don’t need, could be applied to building infrastructure that we do need. — PolitiTweet.org
Marianne Williamson @marwilliamson
@IndyRedoubt Investments in education and infrastructure create more jobs & produce more into the economy than do defense-related jobs. And I didn’t say we should be isolationist or that we shouldn’t have a strong defense! But our Pentagon budget is not just about defense; it’s about money. — PolitiTweet.org
Marianne Williamson @marwilliamson
@twohootshealth So you think we use all that military power to just spread peace and love around the world? You think Trump didn’t oversee increase in military spending and help fund a war against Yemen? You think we just keep all that military equipment in warehouses somewhere and don’t use it? — PolitiTweet.org

5/ Yet transitioning from a war economy to a peace economy should be as high on our list of goals as transition from a dirty economy to a green economy. And they’re inextricably tied. DOD is one of the worst polluters; there’s no such thing as a “green war.” — PolitiTweet.org
Marianne Williamson @marwilliamson
4/ 53 cents of every dollar we spend goes to defense-related activity; we’re a permanent war economy. Yet unlike when I was young, the war machine in DC has succeeded now in creating mass acceptance that this is just the way it is. Politicians get away with not even mentioning it — PolitiTweet.org

3/ The bill would clear the way for the procurement of a new Columbia-class ballistic missile submarine, two Virginia-class attack subs, two Arleigh Burke-class destroyers, a new Constellation-class frigate, an expeditionary fast transport ship and two towing and salvage ships. — PolitiTweet.org
Marianne Williamson @marwilliamson
2/ Here are examples of $ to be spent in the current in the NDAA: billions for 93 F-35 fighters built by Lockheed Martin, *14 more than the Pentagon requested*, and $23.4 billion for the Navy to build nine warships, an increase of $3.5 billion from the service's budget request. — PolitiTweet.org
Marianne Williamson @marwilliamson
1/ Sometimes it feels like people have just thrown up their hands and given up when it comes to American militarism. The Pentagon spends $2 billion a day or $1 million a minute. That’s not for garden parties. — PolitiTweet.org
Marianne Williamson @marwilliamson
@stilllisapava The Pentagon has not allowed any meetings with the Biden transition team for the last 11 days. Jake Sullivan from the incoming administration talked yesterday about how irresponsible and potentially dangerous this is. — PolitiTweet.org
Marianne Williamson @marwilliamson
@RevoltPolitic I agree with that. — PolitiTweet.org

@ajplus @NBCNews This is infuriating. It is police brutality. — PolitiTweet.org

@JAYAREYE Some of his clergy friends had written to him to say that he needed to slow down, be less disruptive, take a more incremental approach. — PolitiTweet.org

@MattMcDermott20 @Fiorella_im I do, but that doesn’t mean a Democratic Senate won’t do a hell of a lot more for people than one run by the Republicans. — PolitiTweet.org
