“We have issued the last package that we had withdrawn and for which we had funding,” John Kirby said. White House National Security Council strategic communications coordinator John Kirby said at a briefing Thursday that “the assistance we were providing has come to a halt.”

The White House official also said it is very important that Congress continues to approve the allocation of money to Ukraine. He stressed that Kiev needs help more urgently during the winter period.

      They’re only achieving nothing when you take the “war on drugs” at face value.

      The USA has for-profit prisons, inmates that are functionally slave labor and an incarceration rate well beyond that of comparable countries.

      Psychopathic neoliberals profit from the “war on drugs”. It’s not a byproduct of the war on drugs, it’s one of the goals.

      You don’t have to politely accept it when they claim “it’s not about that”. Make them prove it by putting an end to the exploitation of prisoners and their families and investing in harm minimization strategies that actually work.
