Two Republicans joined Democrats to vote for the war powers resolution, but the motion failed in a 215-215 vote.

National media should really be covering the fact thay every major school, museum, and arts institution in the Twin Cities, and hundreds of local businesses are closed tomorrow to protest federal occupation. Nothing like this at this scale has happened anywhere in America anytime in living memory.

Jack Smith: "My fear is that we have seen the rule of law function in our country for so long that many of us have come to take it for granted. The rule of law is not self-executing. It depends on our collective commitment to apply it."

Deporting children with cancer. Using a 5-year-old as bait. Shooting moms. ICE is beyond reform. And today the House is voting to bankroll more terror. Hell no.

The root of all problems in US politics: Citizen United (aka. Corps are now people and political donations are the wild west)

We must stop the purchasing of our elected representatives by big money seeking favors.

Thin-skinned Donny can't believe his negative polls. "Could I be a hated narcissistic megalomaniac? ... NO, the polls must be fake!" 🤪

Tak til Jyllands-Posten for det malende billedsprog. Jeg er desværre løbet tør for om ikke fucks to give så gaveartikler.

“They need that money to invest in businesses!” And to suppress the media.

by the way, all of this, dozens of goons, weapons brandished massive teargassing of public space, people beaten in the street, destroying two intersections on either side of my neighborhood, horror, all seems to have been to create a distraction to abduct crying two teenagers who were here legally

Fuck Elon Musk and his efforts to screw with our elections again. We MUST rally against ANY candidates that he attempts to promote!

Just to be clear, Republicans in the Oversight Committee just voted NO on a motion to hold Pam Bondi and the DOJ in contempt of Congress for violating the Epstein Files Transparency Act.

I only hope our nattering class of Democratic do-nothings discover their error when they are swept away by Americans who prefer a course of action and consequence, instead of discovering it at the point of a bullet fired by Trump’s lawless fascist goons.

🚨HOLY CRAP. An ICE whistleblower just revealed a secret memo authorizing ICE officers to break into homes without a judicial warrant, which DHS's own legal training materials say is unconstitutional! ICE then hid the memo from the public, passing it along by word of mouth and private conversation.

Citizens United opened the floodgates for dark money in politics. Sixteen years later, the implications of this decision are a cancer on our politics, allowing secret political spending to flow unchecked.

Trump repeatedly confuses Greenland with Iceland during a low-energy, slurring appearance at Davos

Carney: "American hegemony in particular helped provide public goods, a stable financial system... this bargain no longer works. Let me be direct. We are in the midst of a rupture, not a transition... recently, great powers have begun using economic integration as a weapon. Tariffs as leverage ... "

Spoiler: The US is the only country to ever invoke NATO's Article 5 and members came to their aid and sacrificed thousands of human lives for them. 3621 lives to be exact. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coaliti...

Where do you even begin on fact-checking this Trump speech and his comments on Greenland and Denmark? It's all so easily disproven by 2 minutes of reading on Wikipedia. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greenla...

No one can be watching this Davos speech and reach any conclusion but that the President of the United States is mentally disturbed and that something is deeply wrong with him. This is both embarrassing and extremely dangerous.

“We know the old order is not coming back. We shouldn’t mourn it. Nostalgia is not a strategy… The powerful have their power. But we have something, too: the capacity to stop pretending.” — Canadian PM Mark Carney at Davos, basically announcing divorce from America and receiving a standing ovation

So Denmark traded away an island that would decades later become synonymous with one of America’s darkest modern scandals, in part to lock in Greenland forever. Now a U.S. president with personal ties to that scandal is using economic coercion on Denmark (and allies) to take control of Greenland.

Why does Trump want Greenland? Well let's see.. what would a shallow egomaniac think 🤔 Ahh right, it's the fucking size of the US on an atlas! And I very much doubt he understands, that Mercator projection makes everything near the poles look much bigger than in reality.

THE WOMAN WHO WAS DRAGGED OUT OF HER CAR AND ARRESTED BY ICE SPEAKS OUT… We’ve all seen the videos, but it matters to hear Aliya Rahman say it herself. 📌 She says her treatment in custody was dehumanizing, and that officers completely failed to take her disability seriously.

As promised, here is a devastating new report on Minnesota—and a coming war.

I’ve been reading Trump’s "Board of Peace Charter," and despite the name, this isn’t a multilateral institution, it’s a centralised structure built entirely around the authority of one person (Trump). www.timesofisrael.com/full-text-ch...

The message of Trump’s letter to the prime minister of Norway signals that the president “genuinely lives in a different reality, one in which neither grammar nor history nor the normal rules of human interaction now affect him,” @anneapplebaum.bsky.social argues.

US media is still trying to play chess with a pidgeon who just knocked off all the pieces and shat on the board.

Pew Research Institute (2023): • Red State Texas has about 2.1 million undocumented immigrants • Red State Florida has 1.6 M undocumented immigrants • Blue State Minnesota has 130,000. And yet only Minnesota is being occupied by masked thugs over "immigration." It's *not* about immigration.

Now we begin the familiar ritual where 95% of the Republicans in Congress claim they are completely unaware of Trump’s deranged letter to the PM of Norway so they are unable to comment on it.

Trump demanding control of Greenland—which the US already has access to—is based on multi-layered lies. Threatening NATO allies to get it undermines the Western alliance. I did a point-by-point breakdown of Trump's aggressive letter to Norwegian Prime Minister Støre about the Nobel and Greenland.

Vice News reporting yesterday from Greenland, as the buildup of armed forces continues 🇩🇰🇬🇱 Full video on their YouTube youtube.com/@vicenews

🇺🇸🇸🇾👀

This is what happened in our neighborhood yesterday. ICE snatched a human being off of our streets, roughed them up badly, and then pepper sprayed legal observers as they documented it all. This is a daily occurrence happening all throughout Minnesota right now.

Honestly boycotting the World Cup would be the most effective and probably the least disruptive of all of the options available to Europe. I’m not sure how you can send teams and fans to contribute to a spectacle designed entirely to celebrate a guy trying to invade your territory.

Norwegian PM's response to Trump's insane Nobel/Greenland rant

We should be ashamed that we left the Kurds in Syria to fend for themselves, after they helped defeat ISIS. Now the new Syrian regime (along with Turkey) is attacking them and releasing ISIS prisoners

"Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere. We are caught in an inescapable network of mutuality, tied in a single garment of destiny. Whatever affects one directly, affects all indirectly." —MLK Jr.

Wow even for Trump, this letter is another level of batshit insane! Impeach NOW!

A few hours ago, hackers managed to hack pro-regime, state TV stations in Iran. Although only for a short time, they were able to broadcast coverage of the protests and messages encouraging people to continue the uprising. ✊️👏👏👏👏

Iran right now 🇮🇷... Genocide happening in total digital darkness

Eyes on Iran 🇮🇷✊

16 000 dead protestors according to Iranian doctors

I spoke to the Secretary-General of NATO, Emmanuel Macron, Keir Starmer, Friedrich Merz and Giorgia Meloni. Together we stand firm in our commitment to uphold the sovereignty of Greenland and the Kingdom of Denmark.

Its crazy the gradual increase of pleas we've made to ICE Hey can you wear a name tag? Hey do you have a warrant Hey can you please not wear masks? Hey can you please not murder us? The hell with training, that organization doesn't need to exist anymore.

In Copenhagen, demonstrators chanted "Greenland is not for sale" and wore red baseball caps saying "Make America Go Away" as they marched to the U.S. embassy. In Greenland 20,000 (a little under half the island's population) led by Prime Minister, carried flags and marched to the U.S. consulate.

Protest is totally understandable against ICE and related violence. Also, hyper local civilian protection is not protest. It's people protecting people from violence. It's neighbour protecting neighbour.

I bet you this is actually why Trump wants Greenland, he thinks it's much bigger than it really is and just wants USA to look much bigger on a map.
