Instead of stealing Greenland from Denmark, let’s steal some of their policies.

In Denmark:

- Health care and college are free.  

- The starting wage is $22/hr.

- Paid parental leave is 1 year.

- Paid vacation is 6 weeks.  

- All workers get pensions.

Being able to heat your home in the winter is not a luxury. It is a matter of life and death.

Trump and Musk’s decision to arbitrarily fire every worker in the office that helps working class and low income people heat their homes is outrageous.

We will not be distracted.
We will not be discouraged.
We’ve got our eyes on the prize.

And we will build the prosperous, free nation for all that we deserve.

The time to organize is now.

Musk says millions of dead people get Social Security. That's a lie. Here's the truth: 30,000 people die a year waiting for an understaffed Social Security to approve disability benefits. Musk's plan to cut Social Security's staff by 50% will make this tragic reality even worse.

Trump and Musk are going after Social Security, Medicaid, the VA, and public education.

In what universe, in what world, in what religion is it morally acceptable to cut programs for hungry children in order to reward the wealthy?

Don’t tell me that Trump/Musk are not trying to destroy Social Security.

30,000 people died last year while waiting to get their benefits.

Under this new policy, those numbers will skyrocket.

We can’t kill seniors so that billionaires get their tax breaks.

No, Mr. President, you cannot illegally arrest and detain legal US residents because of their political views or opinions.

In America, we have a little something called the First Amendment.

Throwing protesters in jail is yet another step on the path to authoritarianism.

🔥 @aoc.bsky.social : “The numbers don’t add up. $880 BILLION is a devastating cut to Medicaid, and an attack on Medicare. Anyone who votes for this budget is voting to cut Medicaid and gut health care for Medicare recipients in 🇺🇸.”

Layoffs hit federal climate, weather agency NOAA The cuts could affect NOAA's weather forecasts, climate research and other functions.

NEW: Mass layoffs began today at NOAA.

Workers were fired by email at the agency which runs the National Weather Service, National Hurricane Centre & Pacific Tsunami Warning Centre.

Services are already shutting down.

The most dangerous regime in the world for US citizens is now their own.

The FAA is close to canceling a $2.4 billion contract with Verizon to overhaul the communications system that serves as the backbone of the nation’s air traffic control and is awarding the work to Musk’s Starlink. Follow the money and see where it goes.

Yes, this administration is dangerous and cruel, but they are also shockingly dim and incompetent.

Opportunities are everywhere.

Make everything as hard as possible. Resist every demand. Refuse entry without a warrant. Don’t take the buyout. Their problem solving skills are 📉

i think it is important to say that the open and explicit racism of the president and the vice president isn’t just uncouth or “controversial” but a direct attack on tens of millions of americans and a dereliction of their duty to represent the entire country

I honestly believe our most powerful position in a toxic time that feeds on cynicism, apathy,& despair is to genuinely care and act for a better world.

Cynicism is our enemy. We should check it, incl. on the left. It’s not intellectually superior. It’s the virus they’re trying to infect us with. NO

Fascist incompetency in 5 easy steps.

1) Trump freezes hiring of Air Traffic Controllers

2) Trump fires director of FAA.

3) Trump cuts $16 billion from transportation budget.

4) 1st US plane crash in 16 years occurs.

5) Trump: "I blame my predecessor!"

Donold is blaming a plane crash that killed 67 people on “DEI” with zero evidence.

He is attempting to use racism to deflect from the fact it is HIS fault. He had just removed 100 FAA senior officials.

It’s been 11 days and there are 67 bodies in the Potomac in Washington DC because of him.

Trump put a freeze on hiring air traffic controllers and, on Musk’s instruction, fired the FAA chief early without replacing him.

This should be the only thing Dems are saying today. They should all be out on media saying this.

This is the first time in its 249 year history that a military aircraft has crashed into a civilian one in the USA.

And it's because Trump fired the FAA staff last week.

The $8 Billion Children’s Vaccine Fund Kennedy Would Oversee If confirmed by the Senate to be the nation’s health secretary, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. would have vast powers over immunization policies for children and adults.

If confirmed by the Senate, Robert F. Kennedy Jr would have the power to limit or even cut off contracts with the makers of vaccines for a program that protects nearly 38 million low-income and working-class children from diseases like polio, measles, whooping cough and chickenpox.

GOOD NEWS: A federal court temporarily halted President Trump's order to freeze all federal funding, including grants for public health, education, and safety.

Trump's order would have devastating consequences for communities in every corner of the nation. Our leaders must block it for good.

The mainstream media may not discuss it, but here's the fact:

Three people —Musk, Bezos & Zuckerberg — now own more wealth than the bottom half of American society.

A handful of corporations control what is produced & the prices we pay.

Trump is trying to bully our allies Canada, Colombia, Denmark, and Panama, threatening tariffs if they don't do what he says.

Really?

What about imposing tariffs on drug companies that charge us 10 times more than other countries pay for the same drug?

Mr. President: Instead of stealing Greenland from Denmark, I have a better idea.
 
In Denmark, everyone is guaranteed health care, college education is free, parents receive 1-year of paid paternity leave & workers don’t make less than $22 an hour. 

Let's steal those ideas.
