I think a good strategy for your non-leftist social media presence (ie everywhere but here) is to give this photo - the remains of Danish soldiers returning in coffins after being killed in America's war in Afghanistan - as wide an audience as possible. Remind people who we're betraying

This is pure, unabashed bigotry.

If a politician said this about any other faith, they would rightfully be run out of their party.

But this kind of despicable anti-Muslim rhetoric is so normalized that a sitting Senator uses it without consequence.

A stain on our Congress.

Anyone who cheered Trump at the game can fuck right off. He is destroying the nation.

Immigration fuels our economy: immigrants make up over 19% of the U.S. workforce and start about 1 in 4 new businesses. Cutting off new workers and consumers, as Trump has done, slows growth and hurts everyone.

As always, Dr. King's message is right on time. Today calls on all of us to hear his wisdom and put it into action.

ICE Accountability Now!
ICYMI — In negative degrees weather they took a LEGAL naturalized citizen out in his underwear, after trashing his house.

They released him an hour later.

The cruelty is the point. (From @thejfreakinc.bsky.social )

ICE Accountability Now!
This is what happened in our neighborhood yesterday. ICE snatched a human being off of our streets, roughed them up badly, and then pepper sprayed legal observers as they documented it all. This is a daily occurrence happening all throughout Minnesota right now.

Why doesn’t anyone ask Trump to name the eight wars he claims to have ended?

This is shocking. He is deranged. Cobra Commander level deranged.
In case the algorithm hasn’t delivered this to you yet, Donald Trump wrote a truly insane message to the Norwegian, Prime Minister, and here it is. The entire Republican Party is still lockstep with this guy.

Why won’t Congress stand up to Trump and stop him from taking Greenland? (Because the GOP wants power not democracy)

The agent said that??

"When they told the agents they were US citizens, the couple said, one responded, “It doesn’t matter.”

Another said, “What you’re doing is illegal. This is like Germany 1938,” the court papers said..."

Democrats could act like a real opposition party, refusing to validate Trump malfeasance with votes, and setting up a shadow cabinet that regularly communicates how Democrats would be different. But nah.

It’s not only a majority of Democratic voters that hate this approach. US allies see it too.
The incredibly lukewarm Democratic response on Greenland is being noticed in Europe, incidentally.

Chuck Schumer not finding a stronger word than “quixotic” for Trump’s plan to seize Greenland has been name checked to me more than once.
But Americans who want to save the alliance with Europe must have no illusions about how bad a condition this transatlantic partnership is in.
