Some signs that a nation has gone rogue:
1. Withdrawing from financial support commitments to ally nations.
2. Threatening ally nations with invasion.
3. Invading other nations under thin pretense and stealing their resources.
4. Withdrawing from treaties of international cooperation.

Calling out misinformation is good
FWIW if Tim Walz was on whatever they call MSNBC now and said "The New York Times is printing lies about what happened in Minneapolis and I urge you to unsubscribe" a handful of the very specific people who actually care about somebody saying something like that would hear it
im sorry i know it sucks but journalists are going to have to be willing to get fired for simply describing what they see happening with their own eyes, you look like fucking morons

A friend in Minneapolis just sent me this video. Looks like thousands have come together for a vigil after an ICE agent shot and killed 37-year-old Renee Nicole Good. This was my neighborhood for several years before coming to Portland.
