If you're on Wikipedia & have editing power, the page "Proposed United States acquisition of Greenland" could use some serious help. There's a full on propaganda war being waged on that page. Someone has to be working for Trump.

Venezuela and the "Clan of Pedophiles That Wants to Destroy Democracy"
By examining the bombastic seizure of Venezuela’s president, we perhaps find not strength but the desperate pyrotechnics of a dying hegemon.

A century or two from now, mealy-mouthed historians will claim that Trump shouldn't be judged by their more advanced moral standards.
That's why it's so important to set the record straight now: as his contemporaries, we recognise his actions are immoral. We condemn him now.

"In extraordinary moments such as this, too many journalists behave as if they have more in common with billionaires destroying journalism than the 80 or so people killed in Venezuela by Trump’s airstrikes. If we’ve learned anything this past year, it’s that proximity to power does not equal power."

It has expanded the number of its agents by 120 percent
It is building a nationwide complex of detention centers
