The amendments also include one of several measures to crack down on program 1033, which allows US military to transfer weapons and military equipment to local police depts - including items like grenade launchers. We must stop the militarization of local police departments.
@AOC I feel the genocide in Yemen should be relevant to Saudi arms deals
@AOC So..who paid the $30000 for the gala? And why were you partying with billionaires at the event whilst claiming you want to “tax the rich”?
@AOC And Hamas appreciates you.
@AOC In other words, you want Hamas to succeed in killing more Israeli civilians, not enough Israeli civilians were murdered in May, the 12 that were murdered don’t count, Hamas bears no responsibility for Palestinian deaths, & Palestinians have no responsibility for themselves. 👍
@AOC Why didn't you stop the 80billion in arms felt to the Taliban?
@AOC @dinodaizovi How about ZERO weapons deals? We shouldn't be providing weaponry to anyone, period. We just had a perfect example as to why. Allies today, Taliban tomorrow.
@AOC Just the “Joint Direct Attack Munition variants” and “Small Diameter Increment I bombs” to Israel? But you want to block ALL weapons sales to Colombia? Do better.
