Greenland, a country smart enough to recognize that putting Trump in charge would be an existential threat to their future. Must be nice
Protests erupted in several Greenlandic cites and in Denmark on Saturday as President Trump intensified his efforts to take control of the Arctic island.

It's secondary to how they're behaving but even if they were sweethearts the idea of federal agents operating in masks under any circumstances is preposterous. Insane that it's been allowed to go on this long

Another video, taken by a north Minneapolis resident from across the street…shows federal agents firing numerous times into the house, breaking a second-floor window.

…at least five people, including one small child, are in a house while law enforcement lights flash outside.

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.

one of the best things about this whole nightmare has been watching a whole bunch of folks who have clearly never been seriously political in their lives standing up and going, no, absolutely the fuck not, we’re not letting this happen
ICE and MAGA really did bet the farm on all of Minneapolis’s white people going “oh yes, please take away our disgusting, evil non-white-foreigner neighbors, oh thank you so much.”

it’s beautiful that they’ve been proven incredibly wrong about that - may the rest of the country do the same.

I know it’s hard to have optimism right now, but if there’s one thing that is genuinely giving me hope it is seeing communities — hell, neighborhoods, even portions of cities — stand up in unison against tyranny in a way that is active, capable, savvy. It’s really powerful.

The standard for “cultural revolution” according to centrist and right wing commentators is “liberals being loud about their opinions” whereas Trump is making prosecution, regulatory, and funding decisions based on the politics of the speaker but that’s also libs fault for making him mad

Literally none of their concerns are valid. Racism, sexism, xenophobia, selfishness, homophobia, transphobia... everything the Right-wing wants is cuz of hatred or "I got mine, fuck you". They oppose a functioning society.
Somebody the other day arguing that [paraphrased] "it's important to agree with the right wing that certain of their concerns are valid, because we're losing the rhetorical battle" —no, if we're losing, it's because so-called friends keep validating fascist concerns. "We" who, motherfucker?

Trump throws a dagger into the Louisiana Senate race, pushing Rep. Julia Letlow to challenge Sen. Bill Cassidy, who has worked hard to stay on Trump’s good side.

The soldiers are from the 11th Airborne Division, based at Joint Base Elmendorf--Richardson, one of the Army's premier infantry formations.
