If I'm wrong, I've mildly disadvantaged myself by wearing a mask in public.
If you're wrong, you have played a part in spreading disease, disability and death to millions, possibly including yourself and your loved ones.

Completely. Minnesota is massively impressive in the solidarity and care they are showing to each other; the organization is so impressive. Minnesota is going to be the blueprint for how we win against these fascist fucks, worldwide.
Just so we're clear, and so a tiny handful of wankers online don't create the wrong impression, the vast majority of your European friends are incredibly impressed by Minnesotans' courage against both the ice and ICE.

And, for context, the first was in the aftermath of the unlawful killing of Renee Good.
The threatening behaviour of other ICE agents indicates that they received that message.

CNN put together a clip of JD Vance claiming ICE agents have "absolute immunity" followed by him two weeks later claiming "I didn't say that officers who engage in wrongdoing would enjoy immunity"

Oh, JD, you know very well where the most prominent sex offender lives.
And if you don't, just ask to see the unredacted Epstein files. You'll figure it out.

This is just a small reminder.
Last time the USA obtained territory from Denmark, it was the US Virgin Islands in 1917.
One of those islands was Little Saint James island, better known today as Epstein Island.
Perhaps this trivial fact could be more widely known, Mr Trump

Heard Island is still going strong.
Reports of Heard Island teenagers performing a viral move being called “ICE defeats Ice”.
Masks do soften the blow to the head and conceal tears, so teens should weigh the pros and cons of this.

The sascha riley allegations are horrific, but why can't I find anything about him on line before the allegations emerged a week ago?
I'm waiting for much more evidence.
Having said that - Release the Epstein Files!
That'll help clear things up.

Ethics is cancelled everywhere in the USA, isn't it? There's no evidence ethics exists anywhere under the Trump regime.

"Nazi Shingles"
Yes, just like Grandpa didn't trust "the Japs" for the rest of his life, we will need to see real change in the USA before we can trust them again. That means structural and legislative changes. A real separation of powers between the Legislature, the Judiciary, and the Executive.

I mean, I would, if I were them. The US is 100% not to be trusted any more, nor will we be again for a long time, if ever. Even when we get rid of the current feculent toad in what remains of the White House, the US fascist infrastructure will remain and could resurface, like a case of Nazi shingles
Denmark confirms an expanded, more permanent Danish and NATO military presence in and around Greenland, beginning today. Deployments span land, sea, and air, including protection of critical infrastructure, fighter jets, and naval operations. Sweden has committed forces; other NATO allies may follow

No, I don’t blame humans. I blame the companies. They have actively advertised themselves as a reliable source of information (with shitty disclaimers no one reads). The companies are to blame. They know exactly what they’re exploiting.
