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

Perfect annotation of Trump’s crazycakes letter
Trump demanding control of Greenland—which the US already has access to—is based on multi-layered lies. Threatening NATO allies to get it undermines the Western alliance.

I did a point-by-point breakdown of Trump's aggressive letter to Norwegian Prime Minister Støre about the Nobel and Greenland.

4/ A new tax break for coal companies! So the tax incentives for wind and solar are GONE, and the coal industry is getting NEW tax incentives.

It's official policy now to to not just deny global warming exists - but to actively make it WORSE.

Trump's shocking project to relocate federal agencies away from the National Capital Region is designed to dismantle the government itself.

Let's stop them before they put the White House in Moscow to be closer to the home office.

There’s nothing wrong with Billionaires having billions. There is something inherently wrong with billionaires cutting your benefits, and help to the poor through USAID, and running around with a chainsaw giggling.

You can have power or billions. But we refuse to be an oligarchy
