Today in Greenland Their Historic Protest All to tell Trump People of Greenland and Denmark From all the sane people of America... WE STAND WITH YOU

🇬🇱 “Greenland is not for sale,” “Hands off Greenland,” “Solidarity!” — on Saturday, thousands of people in Denmark took to the streets to protest against the US’s encroachment on Greenland. A US delegation already in Copenhagen, having arrived to meet with the leaders of Denmark and Greenland.

Portland protest doubles in size amid rumors of ICE surge in Maine * This story has been made free to access as a public service to our Maine communities.

Abigail Spanberger has officially been sworn in as governor of Virginia. For the first time in history, the Commonwealth has a woman governor.

First, he threatens to take Greenland by force, now he is threatening to tariff anyone who stands in his way. First, he claimed tariffs were a way to fix the so-called trade imbalance. Now he’s openly using them to bully the free world.

This is the definition of what Kavanaugh thinks a good stop is. He was detained, based on his accent, and then released after they checked his papers (which presumably Kavanaugh does not carry with him). He was detained in front of his five year old child, who told him "I don't want to lose you."

Just weeks ago, Dokoupil promised he would be more transparent than Cronkite. Why didn’t he report this WH threat?

Good question, from one of my mom's SNCC posters. Photo by Danny Lyon.

ICE has kidnapped so many people from their cars that the city had to put out this statement. Let that sink in.

Make no mistake, he is justifying violence if he objects to the outcome of an election. Keep that in mind as we prepare for 2026.

Remember that super-embarrassing moment when Trump told CBS News' Tony Dokoupil wouldn't have his job if not for Trump? This is why CBS did not dare edit it out

🇪🇺❗️🇺🇸 EU calls emergency meeting of ambassadors over Trump's tariff war over Greenland, - Reuters Ambassadors from the 27 EU countries will gather on Sunday for an emergency meeting. The meeting was called by Cyprus, which holds the six-month EU presidency.

Greg Bovino was seen earlier today at the Minneapolis ICE facility dressed in a very nazi-inspired outfit. They don’t even hide anymore.

Tariffs would undermine transatlantic relations and risk a dangerous downward spiral. Europe will remain united, coordinated, and committed to upholding its sovereignty.

The EU stands in full solidarity with Denmark and the people of Greenland. Dialogue remains essential, and we are committed to building on the process begun already last week between the Kingdom of Denmark and the US.

Four GOP Senators. At most four Repubs in the House. Together they could stop nearly all the mad-king's rampages. They would be known to history as Profiles in Courage. They might/would lose the next election. But people have sacrificed a lot more, for a lot less.

Danish and Greenland ministers just left the White House. It did not go well. I have a long discussion here of Trump's attempt to get Greenland and why it could lead to World War III. (Gifted.) www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

Thousands rally in Denmark against Trump’s threats to take over Greenland

How much more in your face can it be? "Why are you asking me for my paperwork?" "Because of your accent." "You have an accent too." "Where were you born sir?" "Where were you born at?" "Put your hands behind your back."

FFS! Just Release the Epstein Files!

He is a racist, a misogynist, and xenophobic.

Not many Canadian citizens even consider the US an ally at all at this point. The US is causing more damage to our country and is now a bigger threat than anyone else. Our federal government is being far more diplomatic than the average Canadian.

Denmark stole my Greenlandic friend's baby 2 hrs after she was born based on a racist "parent compancy" test (FKU) which is filled with nonsense when it comes to parenting abilities. "To see if you are civilised enough, if you can act like a human being." bbc.com/news/articles/c1wlw2qj113o

Ice agents had dinner at a small Mexican restaurant and then came back at closing to arrest the workers. No wonder Minnesota businesses are refusing to serve them. #AbolishICE #ProudBlue#Voices4Victory #OneV1 apple.news/AtAQt9IQuQE-...

Swedish PM Ulf Kristersson responds to Trump's tariffs: "We will not let ourselves be blackmailed. Only Denmark and Greenland decide on issues concerning Denmark and Greenland. I will always stand up for my country, and for our allied neighbors."

⚡️'No intimidation or threat will influence us' — Europe hits back at Trump tariff warning. France, the U.K., and other nations voiced support for Denmark, Greenland, and principles of international law in response to Trump's tariffs on Jan. 17.

NYT publishes audio of Karoline Leavitt threatening CBS over its Trump interview: “He said, ‘If it’s not out in full, we’ll sue your ass off.’” www.nytimes.com/2026/01/17/b...

@cherijacobus.bsky.social Anyone still think putting billionaires in charge of everything was a good idea?

Omar: "We have a president itching to have a riot in the city so that he can invoke the Insurrection Act. That is not something that we want. We want to make sure that he's not going to use the anger MN residents feel after they watched their neighbor get shot in the face to bring about more pain."

New tariff just dropped. Americans set to pay an additional 10% tax on all goods from Germany, the UK, France, the Netherlands, Sweden, Norway, Denmark, and Finland. It starts in two weeks, rising to 25% by June. (Aside: A trade war with one EU country is a trade war with the entire EU).

I don’t think people quite understand that the occupation by ICE in the Twin Cities has more or less erased non-white people from public life. They cannot safely exist in any space accessible to the public and moving between private places leaves folks vulnerable to kidnapping by armed masked goons.

This is a huge win. The First Amendment is clear: We the people have the right to speak without fear, document federal agents' activity in public, and hold those in power accountable.

Abigail Spanberger is sworn in as Governor of Virginia.

Spanberger is now governor of Virginia, ending the Youngkin era and returning the state to full Democratic control.

We choose partnership and cooperation. We choose our businesses. We choose our people.

Congrats to everyone who voted for Trump to lower prices! You’re now paying more for everything so Trump can feel better about himself bsky.app/profile/twse...

"Faced with an angry public but committed to a rigid agenda of nativist brutality, the president and his coterie of ideologues are playing the only move they seem to have: wanton violence and threats of further escalation," writes Jamelle Bouie. "They think this will break their opposition."

Tonight’s #FridayLimericks watch Bari Weiss set fire to the fourth estate from within. If a network helps presidents spin, Cast a skeptical look to within. Despite insights to gather, Seems Bari would rather Shield Trump and his Epstein glass chin. theintercept.com/2025/12/22/b...

lol de-escalation training. does that come after or before the escalation training on the syllabus?

The Trump regime aims to make America whiter by deporting and violently repressing racial minorities they hate, including citizens and various noncriminals. As @gregsargent.bsky.social argues, no way to do that without awful optics. A majority of Americans were raised to think the Gestapo was bad.

We must continue the work to abolish ICE. But right now, Congress can stop ICE’s violent reign of terror. Tell them to do it today: (202) 224-3121

Important work here from the NYT. Ross wasn’t run over. He dropped his cell phone, which he had shifted to his left hand to draw his weapon. And then he shot and killed a person with the gun in his right hand. www.nytimes.com/2026/01/15/v...

Having seen several abductions up close, it is really hard to convey how much the thing they’re doing is roaming in military convoys until they see someone who is alone and isn’t white, and then jumping out in large numbers, pulling them into a van, and screeching off, all in 90 seconds or so.

Russia loves Trump’s message on Greenland, as Putin has openly said. It is worth asking whether this was a Russian idea. It certainly divides and could destroy NATO, and it distracts from Russia’s ongoing invasion of Ukraine.
