It’s Martin Luther King Jr. Day and all I can think about is how many people allowed a dangerous lifelong racist and his Nazi cult to assume total power over the United States all in effort to imprison, assault and murder people of color for sport.

Republicans quote MLK’s I Have a Dream because it’s safe. Ignoring the parts about racism, militarism, poverty, and white moderates being an obstacle to civil rights.
Selective memory is driving the anti-DEI panic and the not-so-quiet erasure of Black history.

It's bizarre that some politicians are trying to behave as if the US president were sane, or capable of reason or moral judgement.

Now we begin the familiar ritual where 95% of the Republicans in Congress claim they are completely unaware of Trump’s deranged letter to the PM of Norway so they are unable to comment on it.

The entire world knows we have a president who's mentally ill. When are we as a nation going to start talking about that?
![NEW: @potus letter to @jonasgahrstore links @NobelPrize to Greenland, reiterates threats, and is forwarded by the NSC staff to multiple European ambassadors in Washington. I obtained the text from multiple officials:
Dear Ambassador:
President Trump has asked that the following message, shared with Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Støre, be forwarded to your [named head of government/state]
“Dear Jonas: Considering your Country decided not to give me the Nobel Peace Prize for having stopped 8 Wars PLUS, I no longer feel an obligation to think purely of Peace, although it will always be predominant, but can now think about what is good and proper for the United States of America. Denmark cannot protect that land from Russia or China, and why do they have a “right of ownership” anyway? There are no written documents, it’s only that a boat landed there hundreds of years ago, but we had boats landing there, also. I have done more for NATO than any other person since its founding, and now, NATO should do something for the United States. The World is not secure unless we have Complete and Total Control of Greenland. Thank you! President DJT”](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:hbpefio3f5csc44msmbgioxz/bafkreie7itpptx3xbxhpsnlaqmwk752h7pcrion5ija2apksljtax2adx4@jpeg)

So basically Trump’s argument is that he only bothered talking about how much he supposedly wanted peace and performed substance-free publicity stunts to win a prize, but since that didn’t fool anyone he’s not going to bother with that charade anymore and will just invade Europe.

Have you noticed ICE is consistently using suppressors (silencers) on their rifles?
Why are ICE agents using suppressors and battering rams to arrest old men and nonviolent people in broad daylight? This is for maximum effect imo.

Sunday, at least 7 ICE agents stormed a house and took an elderly man out into the freezing cold, wearing only his underwear and a blanket.
He was a member of the Hmong community, which came to the area from Laos in the 1970s after siding with the US in the Vietnam War.

This is darkly funny. But part of the problem with Donald Trump is that this is how people have dealt with him for the past 75-plus years.
Long story short (and friends in Europe, please take note):
This approach DOES NOT WORK.

Identifying rogue, masked murderers isn't "doxing"—it’s reporting on crimes.
BRENNAN: Tell me about the officer, Jonathan Ross
KRISTI NOEM: Don't say his name! I mean, for heaven's sake, we shouldn't have people continue to dox law enforcement
BRENNAN: His name is public
NOEM: I know, but that doesn't mean it should continue to be said

This isn’t immigration policy. It’s a business model.
ICE keeps growing, not because it makes America safer, but because corporations are raking in billions off cages, bodies, and suffering. ICE’s existence is a massive revenue stream.

They loved her before. They were hyping her up, saying all dems should be like her, sharing videos, saying Jasmine for president. But the senate feels too attainable, so they’ve gotta shove her back down. It’s foul.

Mr. “President”, Greenland is not for sale, Greenland is not for war, Greenland is not to be invaded. Greenland is for the Greenlandic people.
So you have been warned Mr. “President”, the American people want the Epstein files, not Greenland.
