• 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.

As talk of the US annexing Greenland ramps up again, I remain struck by the extra dimension of ridiculousness that most of the reasons that the current admin float for why we "need" Greenland ultimately relate to the impact of climate change on the Arctic, something that this admin says is a hoax.

Thread, excellent points here
1/6 Trump’s threat to seize Greenland isn’t just reckless. It’s traitorous.
Almost everything he does benefits Russia and China.
This move forces Europe to panic about Greenland instead of focusing on Ukraine, which is exactly what Moscow and Beijing want

When Christians tie Christianity to a particular political figure and party, not only do they fuse the reputation of Christianity to everything that political movement does, they become more shaped by the ways of that political movement than they do by the ways of Jesus.

Tonight’s Senate vote on the federal government shutdown should have been a time for strength.
Instead we saw capitulation and a betrayal of working Americans.
The American people need more from their leaders.

This is an obvious point, but cannot overstated. There is an enormous difference between deporting someone - where they get off a plane as a free citizen in their home country AND FUNNELING THEM INTO A BRUTAL PRISON FROM WHICH THEY HAVE NO CHANCE OF EVER EMERGING!!!
