Retired and I live in beautiful Maine.
Will not obey in advance.
Firmly believe that an American President is not a king and neither are his buddies.

When I was having difficulties in my personal life, it was the Somali women with whom I worked who made sure I sat with them at lunchtime and tried to eat, and who would pack up food to give me on Fridays to bring home so that I would eat.
Our president would neither understand nor believe this

Europe may begin selling U.S. assets in response to a new conflict with the US—a move that could trigger a dollar collapse, Bloomberg reports. Deutsche Bank analysts warn Washington’s key vulnerability is living off global financing—and Europe may decide it no longer wants to bankroll the U.S.

We don’t know when ICE will surge their activities here in Maine. It could be tomorrow. It could be three weeks from now. Try not to be so anxious as to be lulled into inaction. Focus on stuff that can help right now and that will help prepare for anything that happens even if it’s weeks from now.

We are watching one of the wildest things a nation-state has ever done: A superpower is committing suicide because the GOP Congress is too cowardly to stand up to the Mad King.
This is one of the wildest moments in all of geopolitics ever.

Names aren’t even close. Ages aren’t even close. Appearances aren’t even close but to ICE it’s enough that Mr. Chongly Thao isn’t white.
NEW — DHS just posted this as an apparent explanation for why they arrested an elderly US citizen with no criminal record (it's a quote post of a post about ChongLy Thao's arrest.) The implication seems to be that all Asian men look the same, and it's not their fault they mistook one for another.

BREAKING — ChongLy Scott Thao's family has released a statement disputing DHS's outrageous justification for his arrest.
"He does not live with, nor has he ever lived with, the individuals DHS claims were targets of this operation...[the family] does not know the individuals DHS references."

So in addition to just scooping up anyone they don’t like the looks of, even when they claim to want a specific they go to the wrong address, that person doesn’t live there anymore, or their paperwork is outdated. In this case the person they claim to be looking for had long since moved.

![NEW: @potus letter to @jonasgahrstore links @NobelPrize to Greenland, reiterates threats, and is forwarded by the NSC staff to multiple European ambassadors in Washington. I obtained the text from multiple officials:
Dear Ambassador:
President Trump has asked that the following message, shared with Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Støre, be forwarded to your [named head of government/state]
“Dear Jonas: Considering your Country decided not to give me the Nobel Peace Prize for having stopped 8 Wars PLUS, I no longer feel an obligation to think purely of Peace, although it will always be predominant, but can now think about what is good and proper for the United States of America. Denmark cannot protect that land from Russia or China, and why do they have a “right of ownership” anyway? There are no written documents, it’s only that a boat landed there hundreds of years ago, but we had boats landing there, also. I have done more for NATO than any other person since its founding, and now, NATO should do something for the United States. The World is not secure unless we have Complete and Total Control of Greenland. Thank you! President DJT”](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:hbpefio3f5csc44msmbgioxz/bafkreie7itpptx3xbxhpsnlaqmwk752h7pcrion5ija2apksljtax2adx4@jpeg)
