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

A big part of why we are at where we are is that much of the world, the press, foreign leaders, a big hunk of US voters, simply refused to believe it when Democrats said Trump would be as bad as he is.

trump only cares when it hits him personally. they should sanction trump directly.

you wanna see results: close his scottish golf course.

I just do not understand why people find it so hard to get that what you need to do is to make space for politicians to do what you want them to do and close off space for them to do what you don’t want.

Seems to me there are roughly three loci of power Democrats/those opposing MAGA sort into:

A lot of things about social media are killing the world, but I think maybe context collapse is high on the list.

Code switching just becomes impossible. Sometimes a different approach works for different people, but noooo everything has to be FOR ME at ALL TIMES or I have been BETRAYED!

A lot of people who have been very fortunate to achieve success in their personal endeavors find it extraordinarily difficult to hold the thought that someone might give something their all and fail.

It is vastly more comforting to think, “Unlike me, they didn’t try.”

I realize no one is going to see this. I don’t really post here by design, so have made no attempt to build a following. That will stay true.

But I’m begging some of you to think just a little bit about what I like to think of as the sound you hear from next door:
