My Afternoon Read:

Greenland PM Jens-Frederik Nielsen: "If we have to choose between the US & Denmark here and now, we choose Denmark. We choose NATO. We choose the Kingdom of Denmark. We choose the EU." "Greenland does not want to be owned by the US. Greenland does not want to be governed by the US" he later added.

#TRUTH And #TRUTH is anybody who cares abt ppl & justice SHOULD be enraged I am heartened by the millions of white ppl WHO ARE fighting NOW ALSO I hope many w/ reflect upon why it took WHITE faces being brutalized 4 it 2 truly become THEIR fight (as opposed to their being “allies” in OUR fight)?🤔

THIS country HAS been there b4. Black ppl—free AND enslaved— were forced to whip their papers out any time ANY white person said “Where’s your papers?” THAT wasn’t “Gestapo” THOSE were white Americans”😶 The way so many white ppl will skip U.S. history..EVEN WHILE TRYING to “take the country back”

Keith Porter, Peace, Power. 🙏🏾

Using phony criminal charges to intimidate his opponents. Deploying masked thugs to terrorize American cities. Unilaterally threatening and bombing foreign countries. Trump is a ruthless dictator, plain and simple.

The law does not (should not) base decisions on how inconvenient fixing your mistake would be. It's about whether you were legally wrong to do it in the first place. Fixing it is your problem.

Breaking NYT: The Pentagon used a secret aircraft painted to look like a civilian plane in its first boat attack, according to officials briefed on the matter. The laws of armed conflict forbid combatants from feigning civilian status. That is a war crime called "perfidy."

#GVerse #BreakingNews Illinois Secretary of State Alexi Giannoulias just announced he is suing Kristi Noem and #FuckICE for unlawful activities in Illinois. This is huge.

One no longer has to be circumspect about this in public at all. Trump describes his position as one of supreme power lacking any constitutional or legal constraints. That's a dictatorship.

I'm referring to Trump as a dictator lately because of his recent public statements—like, literally on the record statements to news outlets—that he doesn't believe there are any limits on his power & authority. Since dictators are just leaders unconstrained by law, it's plainly how he sees himself

Guess the EPA will have to change its mission FRM “protect human health &..environment” TO “protect business profits” This new Trump admin policy change puts profits ovr ppl The maj of white voters who voted, voted FOR this—the only racial maj of voters who did cleantechnica.com/2026/01/12/e...

GOAL FOR THE DAY: To Be In Alignment . . . “Remember the Lord in everything you do, and he will show you the right way.” ~ Proverbs 3:6 GNT “When you are in alignment with the desires of your heart, things have a way of working out.” ~ Iyanla Vanzant

This admin using straight up Nazi propaganda slogans such as these👇🏽👇🏽. Tell Black ppl again — with a straight face — that the 2024 campaign & maj white vote (by those who voted) WAS. NOT. about white supremacy. We. Knew. And so did they.😶 www.instagram.com/reel/DTYWYyj...

Tell Black ppl again — with a straight face — that the 2024 presidential vote WAS. NOT. about white supremacy.😶 My Evening Listen: www.instagram.com/reel/DRqgCoT...

IN. SUM: “..the film’s treatmnt..reflects a familiar pattern in how Black art is acknwldgd..yet still overlooked on these prestigious industry stages..Evry awards season, we’re reminded..institutions like.. Golden Globes..were not built to..celebrate work tht centers Black voices & Black stories.”😶

When Black ppl said that there were many white supremacists & KKK in police ranks, leadership, & fraternal order of police, many white ppl swore it was just SOME “bad apples.”😶 NOW, tho. . .😶 If only ppl had listened THEN. But it wasn’t impacting THEM, so they were committed to “back the blue.”

This demonization of individuals fighting for justice is same tactic they used to discredit Black Panthers, Civil Rights Mvmnt participants, Black Lives Matter participants These tactics ARE. NOT. new I hope white ppl will reflect upon HOW THEY BELIEVED THE PROPAGANDA when it was abt THOSE groups

#PROPAGANDA:

When the Voting Rights Act was first gutted in 2013, many white voters did not see it as THEIR fight. Years of voter state-led & fed-supported voter suppression efforts in maj Black communities did not rouse them That helped create weakened conditions for what we NOW see😶 Anyhoo😶 My Evening Read:

The DOJ has smoke for Jerome Powell, but none for the people in the Epstein files? 👀 Also, investigating possible criminal activity everywhere except the White House? Bold move, Pamela.

And don’t forget, to have “for whites only” policies again. . .😶

And HE STILL HAS THE NERVE to talk about “merit”😶 The really sick, oh-so-American part, tho, is that the majority of white voters who voted either agreed with this, OR did not disagree enough to make it a dealbreaker for them Heartbreaking (And also white supremacist / white supremacist adjacent)

GOAL FOR THE DAY: To Trust . . . “Don't worry about anything, but pray about everything. With thankful hearts offer up your prayers and requests to God.” ~ Philippians 4:6 CEV "Without faith, nothing is possible. With it, nothing is impossible." ~ Mary McLeod Bethune

Hey @thehill.com we’re still waiting on your apologies for this lie. 🤷‍♀️

WE. KNEW. And so did THEY.

Now tell Black ppl—w/ a straight face—how none of wht he’s been doing has been primarily abt race😶 He ran on white supremacist ideology; on “take America back” to PRE-Civil Rights, LEGAL “for whites only” policies And white voters who voted were THE. ONLY. RACIAL. MAJ. of voters who voted FOR him

“The Trump admin believes you don't have the right to record (ICE) officers in public. This stance is both factually wrong & an attempt to chill free speech by conflating it with violence.. When a govrnmnt fears cameras more than crimes, it isn't protecting the rule of law. It's protecting itself.”👇🏽

THIS this morning — this is U.S. history. AND what a maj of white voters who voted, voted to “take the country back” TO👇🏽😶:

That a Republican Congress continues to allow this. . .😶:

The fact that right-wingers always think that left-wing protesters are being paid should make you start wondering how much of that is simply projection.

I wonder what type of orders the U.S. military would consider “illegal,” cause. . .😳😳😳

YUP. And he basically has.😶

THIS PART RIGHT HERE:

“What, precisely, is the difference between Putin’s justifications for invading Ukraine & Trump’s justifications for attacking Venezuela? Putin bypassed any pretense of international process. So did Trump. The parallel is not approximate. It is exact.” My Morning Read: medium.com/the-polis/am...

IN. SUM.: “The thread that runs through..is.. that an American exercising their constitutional rights must submit, w/o question, to a white man holding a gun..While they are attacking primarily poc, the message..is directed at all Americans: you must do what the Trump admin & its loyalists demand.”

“The threat of criminal charges is a consequence of the Federal Reserve setting interest rates based on our best assessment of what will serve the public, rather than following the preferences of the president..” ~ Federal Reserve chair, Jerome Powell #ThisIsNotADemocracy😶 My Evening Read:

#ThisIsNotADemocracy😶:

I hope that people will listen to the Black woman THIS time.😶:

IN. SUM. — THIS is what they have decided to go with:

My Afternoon Read — this summary by @shanealmgren.substack.com 👇🏽:

He is selling his merchandise on military bases now.😶 My Afternoon Read: m.economictimes.com/news/interna...

I think it’s time to stop pretending that America isn’t one of the most corrupt nations on earth.

It is also a line that white defenders have used to justify the murders of innocent Black citizens for generations. When U.S. was a democracy.😶 #ThisIsNotNew😶

#FACT. & ppl w/ use MAGA & ICE as starting point. They’re not. Tolerance of rhetoric/myth of “Blue Lives Matter” (www.bostonreview.net/articles/blu...) & race-biased conceptualizations of “violence” (www.bostonreview.net/articles/wha... ) helped fuel what maj of white voters who voted, voted in.😶

He's just straight up rationalizing that it's OK for them to murder people over "hateful rhetoric." "Contempt of cop" is not, in fact, a crime, especially not one that warrants summary execution on the streets.
