What the Government of Greenland says here is correct. Don't say "I'm sorry." Raise your voice in protest, on the streets. Write your representatives in Congress to get off their duffs and act.

The 15 richest people in America saw their collective wealth jump nearly $1 trillion during Trump's year back in office. Many of them were standing alongside Trump at his inauguration one year ago today. How are you doing?

“I feel as though the weapon I built is coming to kill me and my people,” said the Somali woman who voted Republican. Yup.

Democrats have no obligation to support a bill that not only funds the dystopian scenes we are seeing in Minneapolis but will allow DHS to replicate that playbook of brutality in cities all over this country.

Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney's speech today is one of the most insightful, albeit sobering, political speeches in a long time. Carney tells it as it is: "If you're not at the table you'll be on the menu." Well worth finding the time to watch: www.youtube.com/live/dE981Z_...

I flew down to south Texas today to do my job - investigate why people are dying in ICE detention centers. I was just illegally denied entry to Dilley Detention Center. Because they have something to hide.

Americans are realizing that unfettered federal power to detain and arrest is a very dangerous thing. I learned that lesson as a child when they put us into internment camps just for looking like the enemy. Don’t go further down this road.

NEW EPISODE: Sen. Jeff Merkley joins me to warn that American democracy is being hollowed out from within, as Trump deploys authoritarian tactics to suppress dissent, weaponize the DOJ, and rig future elections. youtu.be/JevUEhqcuFA?...

Whether or not you are a religious person, whether these faith leaders align with your faith, it's hard to deny when leaders this prominent are speaking out that something significant is happening.

That was not my intent, as I noted later. I think of @markhertling.bsky.social as part of a small and honorable group of former senior commanders who have spoken up - and I am disturbed that there aren't more like him. The silence from people who *could* speak out, as Mark as, is unsettling.

Danish parliamentarian Rasmus Jarlov speaking to MS NOW on Stephen Miller comments regarding Greenland: "I hope he’s kept away from young women, because that’s the mentality of a rapist. You can’t defend yourself, so I’m going to take you. That’s basically what he’s saying."

Brooklyn Park police chief Mark Bruley: "We're hearing people being stopped with no cause & being demanded to show paperwork to determine if they're here legally. We started hearing from our police officers the same complaints. Every one of these individuals is a person of color... it has to stop"

"If great powers abandon even the pretense of rules & values for the unhindered pursuit of their power & interest, the gains from transactionalism will become harder to replicate" -- Carney's speech at Davos is an extended criticism of the damage Trump is doing (though he's not mentioning his name)

Carney: "We stand firmly with Greenland and Denmark and fully support their unique right to determine Greenland's future. Our commitment to NATO's Article 5 is unwavering ... Canada strongly opposes tariffs over Greenland"

If you read or share only one article today, make it this: HOW TRUMP HAS POCKETED $1,408,500,000 (Historically, one thing that has helped bring down authoritarians is public awareness of their use of the power of the office for self-enrichment.) Gift link:

Trump wants the rich to be richer, unions to be weaker, and everyone else to be easier to exploit. He's not ushering in a New Golden Age. He's taking us back to the Gilded Age. This couldn't be clearer one year into his second term in office.

I am incredibly honored to serve as the 57th Governor of the great State of New Jersey. I want you to know that I will never stop fighting for you.

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.

Just the PM of Canada quoting Havel's most famous essay about how individuals and communities can join together, despite the overwhelming odds, and defeat a totalitarian empire.

Would be amazing if European leaders would also start throwing out truth bombs like this. bsky.app/profile/atru...

The U.S. is currently holding three times as many people in immigrant detention as were detained in the Nazi concentration camp system in spring 1939—six years into the Third Reich and just before the start of World War II. A critical read: degenerateart.beehiiv.com/p/into-the-a...

Arctic security can only be achieved together. This is why the proposed additional tariffs are a mistake, especially between long-standing allies. The EU and US have agreed to a trade deal last July. A deal is a deal. And when friends shake hands, it must mean something.

The U.S. has had 365 days of Donald Trump 2.0—which means 1,096 to go. “We have aged so much in Trump years that the Biden Administration can feel much longer ago than it was,” Amy Davison Sorkin writes. newyorkermag.visitlink.me/QuKL6H

Scott, people are trying to buy 1 house — to live in. Could the Trump Admin be any more out of touch?

If your peace plan includes Vladimir Putin and excludes actual allies, it’s not peace. It’s submission.

1/Who’s going to explain the Constitution & the reservation of police powers to the states to the non-lawyer? The rule of law is being severely tested but…

"US Archbishop of the Military Services Timothy Broglio: US military personnel could disobey ‘immoral’ orders against Greenland" www.thetablet.co.uk/news/broglio...

In December of 2024, I visited Washington DC with my family. A lot has changed since then. One thing that hasn't changed is the importance of Martin Luther King, Jr. and his message.

Not just the view from Denmark. The view from anywhere in the universe where logic works.

Today we celebrate the wisdom of Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, including and especially his lesser known work. Watch and share.

There's no shortage of problems with this, but I'm especially struck by the domestic political implications: Trump wants to do one unpopular thing (impose tariffs that are likely to push consumer prices higher), in pursuit of a different unpopular thing (acquiring Greenland).

it is -10 here today. I was supposed to go do a volunteer shift standing outside loading groceries into people’s cars to deliver to families stuck at home. just got a call not to come in because they have too many volunteers already. if you were wondering if the cold would stop us.

salient question to which most of us know the answer.

Per @bygeorgiafort.bsky.social this Hmong man Trump’s goons humiliated & dragged out in the cold (after trashing his apartment and putting a gun to his daughter-in-law’s head) was a naturalized 🇺🇸 CITIZEN with no criminal record. He was eventually released. More: www.instagram.com/p/DTrblZ2jmT...

If America doesn't respond to the calamity that's befallen the working class, we will have Trumps as far as the eye can see. https://youtu.be/zTQoc5Jrciw?si=xiqjsqPf21T2YI6F

I hope everyone realizes Trump is raising money to attack Democrats in the 2026 elections though a bribe-pardon mill.

Minnesota is more than what you see on TV. We’re a state that believes in the dignity of all people. We feed our kids and take care of our neighbors. I’m proud of the ways Minnesotans are meeting the moment with decency and generosity - as we always do. www.cbsnews.com/minnesota/ne...

Wanna know something? Right before migrants get loaded onto an ICE removal flight, they return their gray jumpsuit and get deported in whatever they were wearing when captured. Have heard from many migrants that the planes are freezing and some shackled people are in summer tank tops and flip flops.

Just 34 people control 12% of income in the U.S. and people still think immigrants are the problem.

Trump loves Saudi Arabia. It’s an authoritarian society, which punishes dissent and is owned by the wealthiest family on earth. Trump hates Europe. The governments there are democratically elected. The future of America must be a vibrant democracy. Not Trump’s authoritarianism.

The Washington Post continues to be one of the best drivers of subscriptions to Democracy Docket. Every time it publishes shit like this, more people seek out independent, pro-democracy media that won't bend a knee to Trump. Sign-up now! hubs.ly/Q03M8rql0

Springsteen nails it, as usual m.youtube.com/watch?v=kozx...

The incredibly lukewarm Democratic response on Greenland is being noticed in Europe, incidentally. Chuck Schumer not finding a stronger word than “quixotic” for Trump’s plan to seize Greenland has been name checked to me more than once.

Half the battle with this guy is just reiterating government can and already does good things that are so ubiquitous they’ve become invisible. He’s able to remind you in a way that you understand that good government can exist outside of a 24/7 vengeance operation, and in NYC already does.
