Dear MAGA,
I know many of you are upset at Trump's pro-war picks. You expected him to be anti-war. I hate to tell you but your favorite 'independent media' hosts were lying to you the entire time. Here's Trump's 1st term foreign policy:
- increased drone strikes 432%
- 2,243 drone strikes in his first 2 years alone (more than 8 years of Obama)
- kept us in Iraq
- kept us in Afghanistan
- 330% increase in civilian deaths in Afghanistan
- bombed Syria twice
- bombed somalia
- occupied a third of Syria to “take the oil”
- Increased the military budget every year
- let Israel illegally annex the Golan heights (which is Syrian)
- assassinated a top Iranian commander who was fighting ISIS
- tried to coup Venezuela
- ripped up the Iran agreement
- armed Saudi Arabia as they did a genocide in Yemen and vetoed a bill to cut off the weapons
- dropped the 'mother of all bombs' on Afghanistan
- hired John Bolton, Mike Pompeo & Gina Haspel (all insane neocon warmongers) and let them run his foreign policy
- Pardoned black water war criminals
- signed pro-torture executive order
- his first military raid as president killed a little American girl
I haven't even included in this list what he SAYS he wants in his 2nd term (war with Mexico, allow Israel to annex the West Bank). Stop listening to scam artists who don't know the first thing about policy and only care about vibes.
With love,
a guy who gives a shit about policy
@OmariJHardy @joncoopertweets Bernie sanders cans sit right back down. Biden and Harris have been great for working class people and for our nation. Not having it right now.
This is perhaps the hardest part about today: realizing that our fellow Americans saw all of that; watched all of that; listened to all of that, and still said, “Yes, that’s what we want.” That’s who we are. https://t.co/FAWqPet9GI
I genuinely am so proud of Kamala Harris and Tim Walz. They took a less than ideal situation and worked non-stop to make it happen for us. Their campaign team was absolutely incredible.
It’s unfortunate that our country failed them.
The path out of despair is toward purpose.
The country may have let down its most vulnerable citizens, but we can’t do the same.
Fighting for the people who need fighting for… That has to be our purpose for the next four years.
@RBG_PAC We all heard him say the woman should be punished for having an abortion. We all saw him appoint the SC justices to overturn Roe. Why you Russian around here now trying to clean up his mess? Women know. #VoteBlue2024ProtectWomensRights
On January 6th, I was punched in the face knocked on my back, pepper sprayed, and nearly stabbed with a sharpened flag pole as I defended the Capitol from trump’s mob. When I hear “we’re not going back” I think, “we CANNOT go back”
Quincy Jones, one of the most powerful forces in American popular music for more than half a century, died at 91. He produced Michael Jackson’s "Thriller," the best-selling album of all time, and was a prolific arranger and composer of film music. https://t.co/OyXdjslxtm
@GOP GOP trying to destroy our trust in our elections. They can’t stay in power with the popular vote, because most of us know their policies are horrible for the US, so they have to cheat. Sure wish they really did want America to be great instead of a dictatorship.
January 6 is part of our history, and it's essential for teens to learn about it. 1/6: The Graphic Novel is an entertaining and educational resource that helps young Americans understand the insurrection.
For a long time, people have been sold a false choice: climate versus jobs.
Creating jobs while protecting our climate isn't just possible, it's necessary. And now, it's happening.
