France is sending troops to Greenland to help deter a potential U.S. attack. Trump’s policy here is simultaneously evil, illegal, and stupid. The cost of alienating all our allies far outweighs any possible gain from taking Greenland.

The fact that our Allies are deploying troops to defend against the US military IS HOW FAR OFF THE CLIFF HE IS TAKING US STOP HIM NOW!!

After federal troops forced a fugitive slave named Anthony Burns back into slavery in the 1850s, one Bostonian wrote, “we went to bed one night old-fashioned, conservative, Compromise Union Whigs and waked up stark mad Abolitionists.” The abuse of power radicalizes people. We are seeing that now.

Yeah it's called being an American, bitch. Smugness towards authority is our founding trait.

Telling some bloated tyrant to eat shit is the oldest American tradition, full support for anyone who does it

The defining feature of Rogan and his ilk is knowing nothing about things but talking about them anyway, saying things that sounds smart to other people who don’t know anything about them. It’s good he is catching on but damned of his and our collective ignorance haven’t run us off a cliff.

we should want to make it undeniable that there is no choice but to end ICE, prosecute its officers for lawbreaking, and fundamentally rethink immigration enforcement.

It’s inconceivable.

Yeah.

"The Pentagon used a secret aircraft painted to look like a civilian plane in its first attack on a 'drug boat,' killing 11 ... the laws of armed conflict prohibit combatants from feigning civilian status to fool adversaries into dropping their guard, then killing them. That is a war crime."

Awful human.

Mush brain.

The Powell witch-hunt is not about revenge. It’s not about monetary policy. It’s about power. As is ICE. As is Venezuela. As is the fact that he does not intend to give up power in 2028.

Worth noting that the only people being violent and rioting are CBP and ICE.

If he wants to declare martial law, he will. It won't be based on reality. I don't know why some people continue to say: "be peaceful or he'll invoke martial law." Are you all living in this country in 2026???? Haven't you seen them make things up out of whole cloth???? Are you 10 years old?

we have been way too tolerant of cowards: we should be demanding that far more people in power who claim to be against the murderous evil of MAGA meet the standard currently being demonstrated by Jerome Fucking Powell

Very funny that the guy who turned the east wing of the White House into a pile of rubble one Friday is criminally investigating the federal reserve chairman about a building renovation

Video message from Federal Reserve Chair Jerome H. Powell: www.youtube.com/watch?v=KckG... www.federalreserve.gov/newsevents/s...

Incredible statement from Powell.

This drives me nuts. *They* are not clashing. Trump is exerting, or attempting to exert, power over Powell and the Federal Reserve. It’s one-way.

Redondo's writing and story really shined when addressing Amaia's trauma with her mother and how that was expressing itself in the course of the serial killer case, and how that even wove into Basque mythology with the basajaun. Fun diving into that mythology I wasn't previously familiar with.

Yes, that’s why it was so shocking.

Utterly tone deaf and he gets away with it. It’s worth mentioning this to new voters: previous presidents would have paid a political price for such tone deafness.

In my world, there's a certain reluctance to being merely, or in a knee-jerk way, a resist lib. That's understandable, even commendable. On the other hand, let's be clear: It's a hell of lot better, morally and intellectually and politically, to be a resist lib than a Vichy conservative.

So she is standing behind calling her a domestic terrorist?

Seeing people do "here's the savvy take on how and why the US should acquire Greenland" and just feeling so *embarrassed* for them. Have some dignity. You don't need to be an apologist for the world's dumbest autocrat, you're not somehow sophisticated for seeing The Smart Play on imperial vainglory.

Add threatening Cuba, too.

Cuba.

What does this even mean?

That we’re simultaneously considering military options against Iran and Greenland after just bombing Venezuela a week ago after previously bombing Nigeria after speaking all year escalating the bombing campaign against Somalia is making my head spin that he was seen as the anti-war candidate.

"Under the 'Compromise Scenario', Denmark would agree to give Trump full military access to Greenland and deny access to Russia and China." This is the status quo. We've had it since before Trump was born. It's the most open-ended "put whatever you want here" deal we have for any foreign territory.

And despite it all, this is Tehran 🇮🇷

If I was the commander in chief of the Imperial hegemon I would simply not dismantle the network of military and diplomatic alliances, favourable trade deals, and broad cultural paramountcy that had made my nation the most wealthy and powerful the world has ever seen.

if you’re a high military officer and the president orders you to nuke the western alliance and destabilize the entire globe by giving you a literally deranged order to invade Greenland, I think you have a greater duty to perform before god and the world

They want it formally dead, but NATO is already functionally dead as a geopolitical reality. Even if he backs down (wouldn't bet on it), there's no going back from sending European capitals into a spiraling panic that the US is seriously about to invade one of them. You can't unring that bell.

Once we’re long past this odious era, Will Brill could do a helluva job playing Stephen Miller in a movie about it all.

The reactionary centrist logic is simple: if the left does something bad it’s the left’s fault, and if the right does something bad, it’s also the left’s fault for making them do it. It’s a simple formula and once you see it every one of their arguments is the same

The fact that all these second amendment "we need ahr guns to resist guvment overreach" losers are now cheering on ICE versus citizens who are standing up to the government (with NO weapons) tells you everything you need to know about the hollowness of their ideology. Sad little scared boys.

1. ICE will kill you. 2. Trumpists will lie to justify it. 3. Because they are all thug trash.

Lehane's tome about a tumultuous Boston in 1918-1919 is one of the best historical fiction book I've read — a book about how good people deal with very small men and their outsized issues, of cognitive dissonance and dissidence to the mores of the time. Tour-de-force is cliche, but this book is.

Most of the restaurants/bars in my neighborhood in Chicago have signs telling ICE to stay away. Minneapolis is currently under siege. The Republican Party says this is all fine

The Norwegian Nobel Prize committee has been forced to make a statement, declaring that the prize cannot be transferred. It's hard even to comprehend how stupid this has become

Prison guards are flocking to ICE jobs and frankly this makes sense. Those of us who have been anti-prison organizers for decades have been saying that fascism already existed within prisons/jails. Our best teachers for how to survive fascism are incarcerated people.

Agreed. I have no time for doomerism.

Incredibly brave people.

Every single one of them, cowards wearing plate carriers when facing people holding nothing more than snowballs.

once again we are all tapping the sign

Look, I think all sensible people of decent morals can agree we must, with haste, abolish ICE.
