Remember, every time MAGA shrieks “the left are domestic terrorists!!1!” political violence is almost solely from the brainwashed right wing
JUST IN: Protester charges at Rep. Ilhan Omar, sprays her with unknown substance at Minneapolis town hall
Man douses Ilhan Omar with unknown substance at town hall in Minneapolis
The congresswoman pledged to keep speaking. People close to her said the substance smelled "terrible" and called on her to "go get checked."

It’s also almost like we won a world war with a homefront of nearly all women providing logistical and manufacturing support
these right wing clowns continuing to express absolute shock over the organizing of the left also reflects a deeply sexist ignorance of the fact that EXPERIENCED, INCREDIBLY EFFICIENT AND HARDWORKING VOLUNTEERS, PRIMARILY WOMEN, RUN THE FUCKING SHOW WITH ALMOST EVERYTHING GOOD IN THIS COUNTRY
I mostly just stay off Twitter altogether but after double checking that the Walter Hudson post was still up I ran across this and just had to share so the Romancelandians who bought hand warmers could hear about the PROFESSIONAL GRADE LOGISTICS.

Basic math lesson: Even if all 7 voted no, REPUBLICANS STILL HAVE A MAJORITY AND WOULD HAVE PASSED THE BUDGET.
The “why would Democrats do this?!” crowd really needs to look at the people who voted these ghouls into a trifecta and not the people holding literally zero power in Congress

7 centrist Democrats voted to fund ICE and DHS.
Democratic leadership didn't whip votes.
They still haven't called for abolishing ICE.
I will actively shame and pressure all feckless Democrats until they evolve into fighters or retire.
I'm not here for any BlueAnon nonsense.

Proud to say I've only read one on this list, in an undergrad IR course and I suspect even then it was only so the professor could (rightly) dunk all over Huntington
I’m tired of best strategy military and war books lists.
Where is your worst books that claim to be historical or military theory?

The inability of the Bluesky crowd to understand the basics of US politics and elementary school math continues to astound me
I'm REALLY happy they folded on the shutdown to give ICE all this money to terrorize Americans. Really happy. And everyone who said they needed to reopen the government you were wrong of course. I hate being a moron on the internet and somehow having more sense than the people paid to represent us
ICE is terrorizing schoolchildren in the Twin Cities again today

I don't completely track how russia can be threat so imminent and great that the u.s. needs to forcibly take greenland from an ally, but also not worth sending weapons to ukraine to fight

We’re so concerned about the Arctic that we’re pulling battalions off the line in the LITERAL ARCTIC so grandpa can feel like big tough man
Two battalions of Arctic Warfare specialists from the US Army 11th Airborne Division have been put on alert for a potential deployment to Minnesota, according to two defense officials.
Exactly the sort of troops you would need for #Greenland 🤔

China sees Taiwan as a domestic matter. They don’t care about international law and never will when it comes to Taiwan

We’ve already seen doubts about the umbrella lead to potential proliferation in S. Korea. All of Europe sliding the same direction would be an unmitigated disaster.
Former NATO Deputy Secretary General Rose Gottemoeller highlights the risk of nuclear proliferation in Europe if the US destroys its extended deterrent guarantee over Greenland.

![“The events [in Venezuela] are, no doubt, a short, sharp shock, and a big boost in the wake up call. It will further require the Europeans to figure out how they are going to lead now, and that that is going to be a challenge,” Gottemoeller adds.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:bjjfwpjjph5zwq5dqf4qvryp/bafkreihxj7q5cnkwhiqeplfpud6xmmtmvomycoqaiazax57cspelgk7i7m@jpeg)

This. The people calling for a Troubles-style response to ICE and shrugging off a low-level insurgency would be the first people disappeared when the balloon goes up
really have no patience for criticism of Walz. A lot of the suggestions for what he supposedly should be doing lay bare the actual problem from the beginning: Bsky users expect Dems to be Sinn Fein or the Hamas political wing, not an actual opposition party

So not being snarky but real question: How does shutting down the government when you're the party out of power with zero leverage, force Republicans to do something they absolutely would never do?
Senate Democrats absolutely have to shut the govt down to stop this ICE insanity in the Twin Cities. This is not sustainable & cannot be normalized. Any Democratic vote to provide money to the thugs who are brutalizing this community is a grave betrayal to the people here. Accountability can't wait.

If a Dem governor ordered up the National Guard to protect civilians from Trump's ICE terrorists, how would that go?

Does a coming standoff with noted adversary (checks notes: NATO) finally force Congress to act?
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
