My frustration led me to develop an idea for an opposition organization based on @timothysnyder.bsky.social idea for a “shadow cabinet”.

Worth reading this history of America’s misuse of Greenland and a reason the US will not be trusted by Denmark or Greenlanders.
I can't imagine why Greenland and Denmark don't trust us.

New tariff just dropped.
Americans set to pay an additional 10% tax on all goods from Germany, the UK, France, the Netherlands, Sweden, Norway, Denmark, and Finland.
It starts in two weeks, rising to 25% by June.
(Aside: A trade war with one EU country is a trade war with the entire EU).

Extremely good discussion of the Renee Good shooting from the POV of a conservative former DOJ prosecutor.
This is a crucible moment. If this killing is allowed to pass, not because it has been fully investigated & found justified, but because it has been waved away, it will be a grave injustice to Good but also the nation.

Renee Good verbally and visually intimidated Ross and he just couldn’t take it, so he killed the “fucking bitch”.
He is a very weak man. Maybe that’s why he married an immigrant woman from the Philippines who would never intimidate him.

He knew exactly what he was doing. He intentionally stepped toward the front of her car so he could try to claim it was self defense, but he really just wanted to shoot her.

This is your reminder that Hungarian-Jewish scientist George de Hevesy dissolved two Nobel Prizes in aqua regia to keep them out of the hands of the Nazis.
He then left the dissolved solution on his shelf and fled to Sweden.
(After the war he un-dissolved the gold and the prizes were re-cast.)

The "24-hour peace plan" was a lie. Reality check one year later:
- Ukraine, the victim, accepted the terms
- Russia, the invader, rejected them
- Trump blames Ukraine
He is punishing the victim for the aggressor's refusal to stop.
