Scenes from occupied Minneapolis: "3 SUVs ICE officers driving down 21st to 42nd street. The ice officer rolled down his window and took a photo of me and said 'I got you motherfucker'. I am just a home owner going outside to see what was going on."

When Donold says there is no written record of Denmark's interests in Greenland, he is full of it as usual. There is at least one document going back to 1916.

Trump says ‘no comment’ when asked if he would seize Greenland by force – Europe live

Any one of us could be detained for hours by ICE despite being a U.S. citizen.
Any one of us could be in the next apartment building that ICE raids in the middle of the night.
Any one of us could be the next to be brutalized by ICE for speaking out.
Authoritarianism hurts all of us.

What's the plan for healthcare now that it's even less affordable than before?
