This is what a true leader in North America sounds like.

Screenshot of an X.com post by Aaron Rupar (@atrupar) quoting Mark Carney saying American hegemony provided public goods but “this bargain no longer works,” arguing the world is in a “rupture,” and warning great powers are using economic integration and tariffs as leverage, with a 1:22 video still of Carney speaking at the World Economic Forum in Davos (C-SPAN).

I've heavily resisted Nazi or Hitler analogies. But Trump has recently:  
-Demanded “lebensraum” of Greenland
-Blamed minorities for every problem in America
-Used secret police to funnel said minorities into concentration camps* 
-Promoted white supremacy
-Declared the press the enemy of the people

We live in the wildest timeline. The Danish MEP telling a US president to "fuck off" is the one in the right...insane

Danish MEP Anders Vistisen to Donald Trump :"Let me put this in words you might understand: Mr. President, fuck off."

MAINERS: We know ICE/CBP has played like they're from Maine Care to knock on doors in Portland, hoping the door will be opened or they'll be invited in.

Here's another tactic ICE uses in Minnesota to get folks outside.

ICE Tactics to Lure People Outside

In MN, ICE has been confirmed to send people to private businesses/knock on doors of homes and tell people things like 'someone just hit your car in the parking lot/driveway and took off' to lure people outside of spaces they can not legally enter without a warrant. Once the person is outside, they are arrested. Now that ICE is confirmed to be here and actively making arrests, I hope this post is considered Maine related and not removed.

Edit to add that they send people in plain clothes who do not appear to be law enforcement.

Senate Gabe

@senategabe.bsky.social

I've just drafted an impeachment article against Donald Trump for threatening our allies with illegal seizure of territory.

Send this to your members of congress and demand they introduce it.

H. RES. ___
Impeaching Donald John Trump, President of the United States, for high crimes and misdemeanors.
RESOLUTION
Impeaching Donald John Trump, President of the United States, for high crimes and misdemeanors.
Resolved, That Donald John Trump, President of the United States, is impeached for high crimes and misdemeanors, and that the following articles of impeachment be exhibited to the Senate:
Article of impeachment exhibited by the House of Representatives of the United States of America in the name of itself and of the people of the United States of America, against Donald John Trump, President of the United States of America, in maintenance and support of its impeachment against him for high crimes and misdemeanors.
ARTICLE I: THREATENING ALLIES WITH ILLEGAL SEIZURE OF TERRITORY
In his conduct of the office of President of the United States—and in violation of his constitutional oath to faithfully to execute the office of President of the United States and, to the best of his ability, preserve, protect, and defend the Constitution of the United States, and in violation of his constitutional duty to take care that the laws be faithfully executed—Donald John Trump has abused the powers of the Presidency in a manner offensive to, and subversive of, the Constitution, in that:
Starting from the the first week of his second term, he began to threaten the autonomous territory of Greenland with annexation despite explicit and forceful condemnations from the Greenlandic and Danish governments. The United States is a treaty ally with Denmark, in a treaty ratified by the United States Senate, and the Congress has not been consulted or given ascent to military actions or threats against Denmark's autonomous territory.

In a call, described by senior European officials as “fiery”, with the Danish Prime Minister in January of 2025, he insisted he was serious in his determination to take over Greenland.
One official briefed on the call described it as the following: “He was very firm. It was a cold shower. Before, it was hard to take it seriously. But I do think it is serious, and potentially very dangerous.”
When his close ally in the United States Congress, Andy Ogle, introduced a resolution supporting his bid to take over Greenland, career federal prosecutors were withdrawn from investigating Rep. Ogles.
In a May 2025 interview on NBC’s Meet the Press, he refused to rule out using military force to take over Greenland, despite being given multiple opportunities to do so.
In August of 2025, he refused to comment on if covert influence campaigns were underway, after credible reports from Danish media reported that three individuals with direct connections to him were engaged in such operations.
He appointed Louisiana Governor Jeff Landry to be a special envoy to Greenland, the first time such a position has been created. Governor Landry in his acceptance post on social media stated the reason for his appointment was to make Greenland part of the United States.

In January of 2026,
In a social media post, he stated that he had ordered his “top generals” to draw up plans to invade Greenland “whether they like it or not”.
He posted on social media that ‘anything less’ than U.S. control over Greenland is “unacceptable”.
After allies deployed military force to deter the US from seizing Greenland, he imposed tariffs against those allies, suggesting an imminent plan to invade.
He sent a letter to the Norwegian Prime Minister that reads as follows:
“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!”
In all of this, Donald Trump has flagrantly and willfully disregarded Federal laws and the Constitution, threatened the integrity of the democratic system, and the world order which the United States has derived immense benefit since the end of the Second World War. He has imperiled the freedom of the people of Greenland in gross violation of international law. He has destroyed our reputation amongst our allies and made them fear attacks on their own sovereign territory.
Wherefore, Donald Trump, by such conduct, has demonstrated that he is unfit to govern a Nation by and for the people, has acted in a manner grossly incompatible with the rule of law, and will remain a threat to the Constitution as well as global stability if allowed to remain in office.

The Putin hacking & troll campaign to get Trump in the WH is the most successful spy campaign in world history.

Even if those hacks weren’t decisive (I believe they probably were), Trump has done everything he ever wanted and more in gratitude of all the help. The US is threatening war with Europe!

Germany and France are united: we will not be blackmailed. There will be a clear and united European response, and we are already preparing joint countermeasures.
If President Trump maintains his tariff threats, Europe is ready. We are not seeking escalation.
Our hand remains outstretched, but we will not be blackmailed.
We are constantly experiencing new
provocations by Trump. There is a limit, and that limit has now been reached.

Average global temperatures are now around 1.4C higher than during the pre-industrial era, new data shows.

If the trend continues, the 1.5C limit set out in the Paris Agreement will be breached before the end of this decade.

Dear trump,

You're a desperate loser.
You took a guy's Purple Heart.
You lied about Michigan's "Man of the Year" award.
You took Machado's Nobel Peace Prize.
It's a participation trophy.

On Obama's worst day, and your best,
he will ALWAYS be better.

The world laughs at you.
Pathetic.

I knew Thiel was born in Germany and spent time in South Africa but did not know he is a descendant of actual Nazis who moved to ZA to run a mining operation and grew up in a literal Nazi-flagged town.

Basically the same story as Musk but worse.
