The taxes we pay don't just build roads and schools. They also build bombs and bullets. And those bombs don’t fall in the abstract, they fall on children, mothers, fathers, entire families.
If we fund it, we’re part of it. That’s hard to hear, but it’s real. And if we’re part of… pic.twitter.com/qK1kHSbW5M— A Human Being (@AHumanB90760454) April 8, 2025

The taxes we pay don’t just build schools or highways—they fund an arsenal. Every dollar goes not only to services but to the bullets and bombs that shatter homes and claim lives. Think: if our hard-earned money fuels the violence that takes our sons, daughters, mothers, and fathers, are we truly innocent? It’s a tough pill to swallow, but the truth is unavoidable. We are as much a part of the machinery of war as those who manufacture the weapons. Yet, knowing this gives us power—the power to demand change. If our contributions construct a war machine, we are complicit. And if we are complicit, we have the ability and responsibility to dismantle it.
We can’t erase the past, but we can redefine our future. By opening our eyes, we choose a new direction—a future where our money stands for life, not for destruction.
Things to think about.
100%. The US is filled with excessive greed, paranoia, and as of late, our leadership and administration with people with evil hearts and intent.
Our forefathers taught us that education and free press are essential parts for a healthy society to flourish under liberty and democracy. Is it no wonder why they are purposely destroying that by propagating all seeds of divisiveness, even in media, so that a paranoid, fearful, and self-interested mind would only feed further on propaganda?
We need to divest from our destruction, and invest in the constructive means of society. Those are saying that DEI and woke are part of the disassembly, I don’t see them trying to wipe names and references of Americans people of color and diversity or ladies who served this country faithfully, and to be dishonored in memory.
Please be the America I was taught to cherish and respect. We are at the very crossroads before certain doom.
