They chased you out of Chicago.
Kristi Noem: "When we did these operations in other cities across the country, we didn't see this kind of violence. We didn't see organized, funded protesters come in to conduct acts of violence against our law enforcement officers like we're seeing in Minneapolis."

I've seen Maine, but I think that points out part of the "strategy" behind Minneapolis, they don't have the numbers to really subdue a city (any city really) but they can put on a display of unpleasantness and say "see this!? you could be next! behave!"
I've heard rumors that Philadelphia is next for the ICE invasion after Minneapolis.
Maybe I'm wrong, but
1) More than 11% of all ICE agents are in Minneapolis, and they've utterly failed to pacify the city.
2) Philly is 5x the size of Minneapolis.
3) "Minnesota nice" is a thing. We don't have that.

okay sorry having thought about this I have something more substantive to say:
The right has been on a mission to redefine pedophile to mean liberal/LGBT, someone "corrupting" "our" youth with liberal ideas about gender and sexuality
this isn't some throw away line, but an attack on Renee Good.

We're signatories to the UN Charter. The territorial integrity of States is legally guaranteed under the UN. It's also an attack on a NATO member. We're also signatories to a treaty for the defense of Greenland. None of this is up for debate

Also tariff otaku being forced to find his body pillow because being big and tough didn't work is actually a major climb down and as long as we remain in the realm of tariffs, this is a handle-able problem.

Wouldn't shock me if these tariffs never even hit the registry before there's a SCOTUS ruling pruning his self-granted ability to do them for any reason he likes the hell back.

He's doing the same pattern he did with Canada- swan around making blithe military threats, freak out when the other party threatens him with serious shit, retreat to his tariff hugbox, then get his tariffs swiss-cheesed because special interests all twist his arm.

Over the past three days he has gone from "I am going to have my armies take Greenland and there's nothing anybody can do about it and if you say no you'll be sorry!" to "I'm gonna tariff you until you let me buy Greenland!"
That is a backoff. That is a *massive* backoff.

Oh so he's being forced to back off. That's interesting.
Trump says he'll impose a 10% tariff (rising to 25% in June) on Denmark, Norway, Sweden, France, Germany, the UK, the Netherlands and Finland, because they've sent people to Greenland, until the US can buy Greenland.

These are concentration camps. And these are the numbers they're comfortable sharing.
This is the sixth death in ICE custody in 18 days. This isn’t enforcement, it’s a system that cages people, outsources care, and shrugs when they die. Abolish ICE.

This is such a cool illustration of how the Mercator map distorts the size of Greenland, which looks as big as the whole continent of Africa on that map but is actually the size of Mexico.

i have a simpler explanation which is that drinking milk was a half-ironic racist 4chan meme like 10 years ago and thats what dictates policy now
lots of good theories going around about the weird whole milk advertising going on right now, but my personal one is the milk industrial complex is worried and mad about the growth of milk alternatives like soy or oat milk and want to reclaim previous cultural dominance

Pleistocene steppe bison Bison Priscus. It inhabited Europe, Asia, and North America until the early Holocene and is the ancestor of modern European bison and American bison.
I'm not sure if it's noticeable, but I was inspired by ancient images of bison and Altamira and other caves.

Good news fam down 6 lbs since occupation started.
Want to lose weight? Have you considered living under a federal occupation with armed masked goons with no identification kidnapping people for being brown and as a result being so stressed out that you can't eat? Well I have a diet plan for you.
