Combine this with the news today of troops from Sweden and Germany, among others, heading to Greenland. Trump is making his move against NATO. I know it sounds lame, but all I can say is call your senators and representatives.
#BREAKING Denmark's foreign minister said after talks with US officials in Washington that US President Donald Trump has a clear wish of 'conquering' Greenland.

It will be parties run by people who admire Putin undermining the Western alliance structure that causes deterrence to fail, not clever Russian tactics. Nonpartisanship is only a virtue if there is a consensus on fundamental values. That consensus has been lost and so nonpartisan is no virtue.

This is the sort of statement that was expected from every university president and law firm partner over the last year. That those statements weren’t made played a huge part in where we are now and people will remember.
Jerome Powell: "This is about whether the Fed will be able to continue to set interest rates based on evidence and economic conditions—or whether instead monetary policy will be directed by political pressure or intimidation."

The Minnesota Frost held a moment of silence pre game for Renee Nicole Good, who was killed by ICE agent Jonathan Ross Wednesday morning.
A fan yells out “Get ICE out of our state” towards the end.

The ability to ask these questions as if they weren‘t stupid & dishonest has been a key aim of both the new world-wide right-wing movement and of the Kremlin. They want us to think there‘s no truth, only opinion; no morality, only power; that all choices are morally equivalent, & only tribe matters.
"This small liberal arts college used to be a haven for artistic misfits and free thinkers. Now it has been taken over by authoritarian politicians. Are these two things the same?"
