Walz: "I couldn't help but think, and it scares me a bit -- 'The party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most important directive.' It certainly feels like that in this moment."

Hello Senate. Any chance you could replace the word ‘Venezuela’ with ‘Anywhere’? Greenland, Mexico, Canada in particular would be grateful but if you’re finally going to face down the madman, go big.

The leader of the conservative party of Canada cheered on the illegal bombing and invasion of Venezuela until he realized a few days later it affects international oil prices and now is demanding the country fast track pipelines to compete. Can't make this shit up

A reminder — Democratic senators allowed the criminal abomination Kristi Noem to be elevated as head of DHS; Noem was approved 59-34: Fetterman (PA) Hassan (NH) Kaine (VA) Kim (NJ) Peters (MI) Shaheen (NH) Slotkin (MI) They should be asked if they regret their vote. 🧾 thehill.com/homenews/sen...

BREAKING: The Senate has voted to advance the Venezuela war powers resolution. The resolution would outlaw U.S. military action in Venezuela without Congressional approval.

For those keeping score, Bellingcat, The New York Times Visual Investigation Team, & Washington Post's Visual Forensic team have all published analysis showing the ICE shooter wasn't in the path of Renee Nicole Good’s vehicle when he shot her, contradicting statements by the President & his cronies

Greenland/Denmark already have an old deal (since WW2 and still active) with the US that gives the US rights to have as many military bases/personnel on Greenland as they want. It was NEVER ABOUT NATIONAL SECURITY!!! youtube.com/shorts/RcVzd...

Here’s some things that can be done by a party out of power - file impeachment articles every day in the House - withhold unanimous consent in the senate and filibuster every nominee - be everywhere with comms saying this is lawless and impeachable

A specific genetic difference in a gene called RTP5—known to be involved in smell and taste perception—was linked to a higher risk of early death in patients hospitalized with severe COVID-19, according to a recent study led by researchers at Harvard Chan School. @harvardenvhealth.bsky.social

Israeli forces also shot a child in the head in Beit Lahia, in northern Gaza, close to the yellow line that separates Israeli-controlled areas from the rest of Gaza.

DANISH PARLIAMENT MEMBER: “🇺🇸 had 30 bases on Greenland, why did you leave? You can resume that tomorrow without attacking a NATO ally… the rationale lacks factual foundation and doesn’t stand any logic testing.” (Unless the point is to hurt us and end NATO, a Putin/Xi goal)

I need people to wrap their minds around the fact that here in Minneapolis, ICE broke the window of a vehicle yesterday, pepper sprayed the occupants, and arrested them, and shot another observer in the face today, and OBSERVERS ARE STILL GOING OUT TO PROTECT THEIR NEIGHBORS AT MASSIVE PERSONAL RISK

The purpose of these murders is to teach the good people of this country, who are the overwhelming majority, that the penalty for goodness is death

This past year ICE arrested and put zip ties on children Shot *priests* in the head with nonlethal rounds Raided an entire apartment building (which led to zero arrests) And today, proved Tim Walz right by shooting and killing a woman-a citizen-in Minneapolis Republicans When does it end

Please don't let the Gaza genocide remain the status quo of suffering and dying happening in the background. The sooner we stop tolerating genocide, the safer the world is for everyone. Please keep talking about the Gaza genocide and demanding concrete action to end it.

DHS tweeted this yesterday. Little more than 24 hours later, ICE agents just shot and killed a legal observer in Minneapolis.

Frey: So, they are already trying to spin this as an action of self-defense. Having seen the video of myself, I want to tell everybody directly: That is bullshit.

Videos and eyewitness accounts indicate that a U.S. citizen was murdered by ICE agents in Minneapolis. Please be safe out there! 💔

Missed this with everything going on. EU really needs to become independent including banking like visa Trump admin impose visa sanctions against 5 prominent European citizens, including former European Commissioner Thierry Breton, architect of digital rulebook thehill.com/opinion/tech...

(Reuters) - Allies including France and Germany are working closely on a plan on how to respond should the United States act on its threat to take over Greenland, as Europe seeks to address U.S. President Donald Trump's ambitions in the region. @reuters.com

Danish soldiers are under standing orders to engage any hostile activity on Greenland, including unannounced US activity. The standing order of 1952 is confirmed to be in force by both Danish Defence Command and Ministry of Defence to news site @berlingske.bsky.social

There's "compartmentalising" the transatlantic relationship... and then there's the mental gymnastics required to reconcile this ⬇️ with any sort of meaningful US security guarantees for Ukraine. Europe's on its own.

Calling NATO a one-way subsidy ignores how much Europe provides. This letter to the editor analyses all the ways the US benefits from European infrastructure, tax breaks, logistics, long-term host nation support and assistance with US missions ⤵️ @eastangliabylines.co.uk

"Rubio told lawmakers in a closed-door briefing late Monday that the escalation in public rhetoric was part of a broader strategy to pressure Denmark into selling Greenland to the United States rather than capture it by military force." www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...

Not very comforting considering that Rubio and other administration officials assured Congress they had no regime change designs in Venezuela.

This should not be one to one meeting. Should be one to NATO /EU partners

🇺🇸🇩🇰🇬🇱 Rubio on Denmark and Greenland: I will be meeting with them next week. 🎙️Reporter: Does the U.S. intend to buy Greenland? Rubio: That has always been Trump’s intent.

Sec Rubio: "I'm not here to talk about Denmark or military intervention. I'll be meeting with them next week.”

I was today years old (thank you to @thedailyshow.com and Jon Stewart) that learned of the 1917 Treaty of the Danish West Indies where Danish controlled islands, now US virigin islands, were sold to US and the United States agreed to recognise Denmark's control over Greenland.

Q: "Is the administration really willing to risk the NATO alliance by potentially moving ahead with a military operation?" Rubio: "If the president identifies a threat to the national security of the U.S., every president retains the option to address it through military means."

We ain't never seeing that CECOT story.

This is what state-regime media looks like. CBS News ran a segment gushing over Rubio — calling this his “moment" and saying: “Florida, once an American punchline, has become a leader on the world stage. Marco Rubio, we salute you! You are the ultimate Florida Man!” Enough. Join us: MeidasPlus.com

The number of prisoners who have died in Israeli custody has risen to 323, including 86 detainees who were killed after Israel’s genocidal war on Gaza in October 2023. (Ramy Abdu)

Telling isn't it that all the "protect our girls" people are still on X despite what Grok is doing.

And Rubio still says "we want to buy it". I listened to the Danish Minister of Foreign Affairs yesterday. He's asked for a meeting with the US authorities to debunk some of the lies Trump/Vance/Rubio are spreading . Perpetual liars don't really like truth, so luck with that Denmark 🙄

1️⃣ "Meanwhile, the land grab in the W. Bank and the slow burning genocide in Gaza continue. That's the main aim of Trump's foreign policy: To 'flood the zone' with one atrocity after another. First, Gaza. Now, Venezuela. Tomorrow Colombia, Greenland, www.theguardian.com/world/2026/j...

Tired of seeing people bend over backward to say Greenland is a ‘strategic interest.’ There is zero military threat to Greenland or from Greenland by any other country. The US already has ABO there (access,basing,overflight). There is no realist argument for annexing Greenland.

Jared Kushner has somehow found a place at Coalition of the Willing press conference with Scholz, Zelensky, Macron, Starmer and Witkoff. Kushner has no official position in the US government.

From today's Haaretz newsletter: "Jewish and Arab citizens of Israel have tried to assist Gaza residents, only to discover that doing so is extraordinarily difficult. Credit card companies and banks in Israel and around the world are blocking attempts to transfer funds to Gaza"

Congress better step up before this administration starts WW3. If they attack Greenland it will end NATO and give Russia the opportunity to invade more than just Ukraine. 🔄 www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

What is just crazy about this, aside from the need for this statement at all, is that Greenland already IS in the US sphere of influence. It's far cheaper for the US, in material, security, and reputational terms, to have Denmark continue administering Greenland and work within NATO on security.
