TAPPER: Can you rule out the US is going to take Greenland by force?
MILLER: Greenland should be part of the US. By what right does Denmark assert control over Greenland? The US is the power of NATO
T: So force is on the table?
M: Nobody is gonna fight the US militarily over future of Greenland

It’s not about drugs. If it was, Trump wouldn’t have pardoned one of the largest narco traffickers in the world last month.
It’s about oil and regime change.
And they need a trial now to pretend that it isn’t. Especially to distract from his sinking under Epstein and skyrocketing healthcare costs.

Rep. @sethmoulton.bsky.social : "Is anyone going to just stop for a second and be honest? This is insane. What the hell are we doing? We've got a lot of problems in America today, and invading, occupying, running Venezuela does not solve any of them."

Entrevue de fin d’année où mon collègue @phlppgnzlz.bsky.social et moi avons discutés avec Anissa Hammadi pour son article dans @leparisien.fr
Depuis le début du second mandat de Donald Trump, le mélange des genres entre politique et religion atteint un niveau inédit. Comment le combat spirituel pour christianiser la société a-t-il fini par s’enraciner au cœur de l’administration actuelle ?
Bureau de la foi, ONG évangélique à Gaza… Comment les États-Unis ont remis la religion au pouvoir

Remarquable fil 🧵de @jostavodebauge.bsky.social à propos d’un article ni fait ni à faire de M. Whorten sur le nationalisme chrétien, paru comme billet d’opinion, la veille de Noël, dans le @nytimes.com. On aurait préféré un 1er avril.
Les historiens et sociologues américains du "christian nationalism" et du mouvement évangélique s'arrachent les cheveux avec cet article de Molly Worthen paru dans le New York Times. Il y a de quoi, c'est une pièce d'apologétique, pas un article honnête et sérieux.

Anthea is spot on!
Ok, I don't usually do this, but the Molly Worthen piece on Christian Nationalism in the NYT? Apologetics.
I'm on Xmas break and I don't feel like wasting my time breaking this down but let me just say this: WHO IS WE? Because some of us get Christian Nationalism, the NAR, and Dominionism.
