It’s come to this: “Catholic members of the US armed forces could in good conscience consider disobeying orders to attack Greenland if such orders were issued, according to Archbishop Timothy Broglio, the bishop responsible for the pastoral care of US military personnel.”

It is NOT acceptable for an American President to be threatening aggression or war against our NATO allies.
It is WAY past time for this Republican Congress to intervene.

The 25th Amendment must be invoked by the cabinet. I’m all for pressuring them. Congressional Dems should lead the charge. Not on Bluesky or Threads. Let’s do it.

I really like that this place is not overrun by engagement-farming the way the other sites are and I like that things only go viral when there's genuine sustained interest in them. I think those are good properties in a social media site, even if they dissatisfy people looking for something else.

For ICE to have designated cells for Americans in immigration detention means that the unlawful arrest of Americans by ICE is a systematic issue.
Missed this a few days ago:
Two U.S. citizens grabbed by ICE say there were cells reserved for Americans.
Also, they weren’t given medical attention or allowed to go to the bathroom.

The more I think about this, the angrier I get. It takes a particularly virulent strain of sociopathy to sit and let hard-working people serve you a meal knowing that you plan to arrest them and send them off for deportation once they're off of work.

A few days ago, Fox News was whining about ICE agents getting heckled at a Mexican restaurant in Minneapolis.
Meanwhile, in the town of Willmar, ICE agents had lunch at a Mexican restaurant, waited until it closed, then confronted and arrested three workers as they left.
