it's bizarre to see both CNN and CNBC run with chyrons reporting that Trump said he won't "use force" to take Greenland, when the comments in question were clearly a threat to take Greenland by force. How naive are we at this point?

Russia is invading Europe and the president of the United States is ranting about the danger that "windmills" pose to the Western World.

Attn news commentators: Trump saying he could use force to obtain Greenland but won’t is not Trump saying he won’t use force to obtain Greenland. It is Trump using force as a threat to obtain Greenland. That is why he mentions it.

Ossoff: "There's a wickedness to the program. I don't know, pastor, where it is in scripture that it says deny care to the sick, take from those with the least to give to those with the most, violate the house of worship to hunt down the refugee. Where in the scripture are those lessons taught?"

KRUGMAN: “.. How did a great, sophisticated nation, one of the world’s longest-standing republics, end up so fragile that it can be undone by one man’s dementia?” @pkrugman.bsky.social open.substack.com/pub/paulkrug...

A reminder how ICE treats priests.

In response to the brutal murder of an unarmed woman by an out-of-control ICE goon, the Trump administration has decided to . . . INVESTIGATE MINNESOTA DEMOCRATS!!!!! They - and anyone who defends or enables this criminal administration - are beyond despicable.

I don’t know about you folks, but my parents own 12 houses.

In @nytopinion.nytimes.com One year ago, President Trump took an oath to serve the American people. Instead, he used the presidency to enrich himself, the @nytimes editorial board writes. This is how Trump has pocketed at least $1.4 billion.

I’m just glad the US military is finally focused on the real threats - Minnesota and Denmark.

I love Danes ❤️

Some perspective: The S&P opened down -1.3% on Trump's Greenland saber-rattling. That's $750 billion of wealth destroyed -- roughly equal to estimates of the value of Greenland. And so ~in dollar terms~ his shenanigans have already cost the US one Greenland, and we've got nothing to show for it.

MN & other locations: ICE believe they're above the law. A Fed judge just ordered that they cannot deploy chemical agents at peaceful protesters. Again. Even if all you do is go to a hardware store & get a very good dust mask & goggles, it will help. Also, it'll make you unidentifiable. Like them

ICE detained Purple Heart veteran William Vermie for hours at the Whipple Federal Building. He says he’s speaking out because he’s white, he has privilege and if he doesn’t use it to stand up for others, who will? That is what solidarity looks like.

This is the type of thing that I want my statewide-elected and federal officials to push back against. We are seeing the creation of a pretext for bringing in troops in real time and no one with the power to get an audience is standing up for us to tell America all of it is a fiction.

"Trade is not fundamentally about competition. It's not us versus Canada. It's us and Canada." It's really about cooperation. And if the United States won't cooperate reliably with Canada, we shouldn't be surprised when Canada looks for new friends to cooperate with. And Americans miss out.

I am not exaggerating when I say ICE functions as a terrorist organization in the Twin Cities. The goal seems to be to harass and frighten people (the ones who are lucky enough to not be abducted, at least) and it's deeply unsettling when you learn they're in your neighborhood.

Exactly. Admirer of the Confederacy and lifelong bigot, Donald Trump, is exacting his revenge by sending in ICE stormtroopers to occupy a Union state.

The Trump Regime is occupying Blue MN with 3,000 ICE Agents Based on that and these numbers below, The Regime should have deployed more than 85,000 ICE Agents to Red FL & TX That hasn't happened This is REVENGE, RETRIBUTION, INTIMIDATION

Of course we are! Duh.

We are watching one of the wildest things a nation-state has ever done: A superpower is committing suicide because the GOP Congress is too cowardly to stand up to the Mad King. This is one of the wildest moments in all of geopolitics ever.

“We must learn that passively to accept an unjust system is to cooperate with that system, and thereby to become a participant in its evil.” -- Martin Luther King Jr.

Trump "protects" Minnesotans the same way Putin "protects" Ukraine, or the same way the Taliban "protects" women. Think about it.

Blanche won’t investigate the killing of an innocent woman on camera but they’ve got all hands on deck for a church service being interrupted

It is not up to the armed forces to put a stop to Trump’s ghastly ideas of war against NATO. The United States is not run by the military, nor should it be. Americans, and their elected representatives, must take this burden away from the armed forces—now. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

I can’t go to the grocery store alone right now because ICE is racially profiling and abducting people who aren’t white

It's the Karen presidency. Everything going on is because one dumb old asshole didn't get his way and now it's everyone's problem

Turns out the real threat isn’t immigrants - it’s blue zip codes.

2026 is going to be a very dark year for US foreign policy, where everything that was built over many decades by leaders for collective security is torn apart by one madman, but only because people in his own party remain silent.

This 1943 U.S. Army film warned about fascism in America

It's now well over four weeks since the Trump DOJ was required by law to release the full Epstein files, and they're overly redacting what they do release. What are they hiding?

👇👇

This isn’t immigration policy. It’s a business model. ICE keeps growing, not because it makes America safer, but because corporations are raking in billions off cages, bodies, and suffering. ICE’s existence is a massive revenue stream.

ICE ended up returning the man, Saly, after realizing he’s a fucking US citizen with no criminal record, per his sister-in-law. These fucking animals.

PSA: If Bill Kristol can say this dems should be able to say it

Fascists of a feather.

"A Prince, whose character is thus marked by every act which may define a Tyrant, is unfit to be the ruler of a free people." —The Declaration of Independence

I've harped on congressional war powers for a long time and we do need to fix all that, but threatening to invade Greenland while ranting at Norway about the Nobel Peace Prize and imposing trade sanctions on NATO is more the kind of thing you can only fix by not having a literally insane president.

How dare you not recognize Der Fuhrer's accomplishments!!!!!!!

I have 100 American dollars for the first journalist to respond to “we’re the hottest country” with “wth does that even mean?”

Anyone who thinks a serial bankrupt grifter knows a damn thing about world economics is in a damn cult.

This! Americans pay attention. There is no denying what is going on here in our country. History repeats itself, and it is blaring every day now what is happening fascism has taken over. Authoritarian rule military.is here! The DOJ is in defiance of the federal courts rulings.

the President is illegally raising taxes because people don't like his plan to illegally spend billions of tax dollars illegally invading allied territory

At any point in the last 30 years the GOP could have backed Immigration Reform, funding for immigration courts to reduce backlogs and any number of policies to control immigration and they didn't to provide a wedge issue to gain power for this end game we are in now, fascism under one Party control.

Republicans can't count past 2, so only the Second Amendment counts, certainly not the Fourth. Of course, that doesn't exactly explain why they ignore the First Amendment and support Trump's blatantly political persecution of Mark Kelly, Letitia James, James Comey, and now Tim Walz.

And in this moment, this beautiful child would be falling into his mother for comfort but she has been taken. We are raising a generation of children who are being traumatized by the state, and some of them will grow up angry because their parents were ripped away by force.

A healthy democracy cannot have a standing force of vastly-funded, barely trained, heavily armed and masked secret police riven with a not insignificant number of white nationalists just waiting around to brutalize people. Abolish ICE
