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

Not headline news. No real fuss by Democratic leaders. No calls to censure. No pushback. No questions asked of GOP leadership by the press.
Just totally accepted anti-Muslim bigotry across the board.

The National Science Foundation sign on our Eisenhower Av building is now gone.
The NSF mural in the foyer is removed and torn off in sheets.
We were supposed to celebrate the 75th anniversary of the agency in May 2025. That never happened.

Video circulating online alleges an ICE agent sprayed a 15-year-old girl in the face with pepper spray in Minnesota. The girl appears to panic and lash out before her mother intervenes, yet agents still threaten arrest. Her mother then guides her to the car to go to the ER.
