Mamdani: The Words of Tupac from the 90s Is ‘Still Prescient,’ America ‘Has Money for War But Not for Food’

EXCERPT:

MAMDANI: “But I think your question also gets back to the fact that this is a war to not just be opposed on political grounds, on moral grounds, but even just on economic grounds. We are speaking about a federal administration that has spent upwards of $28 billion killing thousands of people all the way over in the Middle East, at the same time as we’re being told that this money cannot be found to invest in working class Americans across this country. And I wish that the words of Tupac from the 90s weren't still present, but they continue to be true for too many, which is that we always have money for war and not to feed the poor."
