The Oligarchs Pushing for Conquest in Greenland
Trump’s fixation on filching the island territory from Denmark may seem like the demented ravings of a mad king. But to a cohort of plutocrat weirdos, it makes perfect sense.

MLK is widely considered America’s pre-eminent advocate of nonviolence & one of the greatest nonviolent leaders in world history.
On the day that we honor his legacy, our own govt wages war on US.
A general strike is today's strongest means of peaceful resistance. #MLK

There are serious people who know all of this, and yet they do not act. They do not even speak out. The result will be to gift our children a poorer America in a more dangerous world. GOP and MAGA Americans, you are destroying the nation's legacy for your children and grandchildren.
America vs. the World
President Trump wants to return to the 19th century’s international order. He will leave America less prosperous—and the whole world less secure.

Never in my most cynical dreams did I imagine so many people willing to sell out their own country for money, attention, clout, out of spite, ignorance or hate.
That will remain the most heartbreaking part of this ordeal.

The Kremlin says Putin has been invited to joinTrump’s proposed “board of peace” for overseeing a Gaza ceasefire—an unconfirmed move that raises questions about the board’s purpose and reinforces criticism that Trump is favourably disposed toward Russia despite Putin continuing the war in Ukraine.

We just saw this, and it’s a good idea for businesses to post. Private businesses are allowed to set dress and conduct rules. Requiring no full face coverings has long been standard for safety and loss prevention reasons, and it is within a business’s rights to refuse entry or service.

Trump is so mad at Europe, that he has no choice but to increase taxes on American citizens and businesses to 10%, 25% next month. It’s a golden age.

Bloomberg: The Trump admin has told countries that if they want a spot on his new “Gaza Board of Peace” that will be developing the Gaza Strip, then they have to contribute at least $1 billion as a fee for entry.
