Miller asserts that Denmark can’t defend Greenland.
Yeah, genius, that’s why they’re a member of an alliance pledged to defend each other. One we founded and led, which has worked to deter aggression for over 75 years.

Large protests broke out in Denmark and Greenland under the slogan “Hands off Greenland.” Crowds gathered in front of Copenhagen’s City Hall before marching to the U.S. Embassy, demanding respect for Greenlanders’ right to self-determination and opposing reported U.S. plans concerning the island.

“The entire operation is becoming slower and more resource-intensive. There is good reason to believe that more immigrants are with their families tonight because of ICE Watch.”
For @msnownews.bsky.social, I wrote an article about how ICE Watch is grounded in sociological theories of violence prevention.
The reality is that most men will only commit public violence in extremely specific scenarios and ICE Watch disrupts the conditions necessary for escalation.

Opinion | I'm a Minneapolis sociologist who studies violence. Here's how ICE observers are helping.
Research into how violence occurs shows that disapproval from the people around you can help reduce it.

I've increasingly come to view cynicism as the seedbed of totalitarianism, both because it can paralyze the opposition and because it implicitly validates the might-makes-right ethic of the authoritarian.
i have been reading Tom Ricks’ “Fighting the Good War” which is a military analysis of the civil rights movement, and one thing that comes abundantly across is that movement leaders and ordinary people made it a practice to refuse to fall into despair and cynicism.

Some of the stories in here are absolutely chilling. One US citizen of Somali descent was just riding an elevator with ICE agents and then they detained him for almost half an hour in the freezing cold despite him showing agents his passport card. They only let him go once protestors showed up.

It’s hard to square today’s excellent jobless claims with the fact that US employers announced 1,206,374 job cuts in 2025, up +58% YoY, the highest since the 2020 Crisis.
Excluding 2020, this was the worst year since the 2008 Financial Crisis.
So, who’s wrong?
