Again, the thread connecting maga foreign and domestic policy — “dominance” for its own sake to make the weak and cowardly feel strong and brave.
Rep. Randy Fine on his bill to make Greenland the 51st state: "We need to make sure we assert our dominance over the Western Hemisphere ... the last thing we need is Greenland to become another Venezuela where we have huge problems we have to deal with in the future."

A few months ago, ICE hired me

I didn't sign and submit any paperwork. I almost certainly failed the drug test. I'm real outspoken about my opposition to the Trump administration, and I am extremely googlable

And yet, there it was, in plain English. "Welcome to ICE!"

You’ve Heard About Who ICE Is Recruiting. The Truth Is Far Worse. I’m the Proof.
What happens when you do minimal screening before hiring agents, arming them, and sending them into the streets? We're all finding out.

People really do not understand how out of control Minneapolis is right now. I spent almost 8 hours today on the street in different parts of the city and saw everything from tear gas and pepper balls being used to fully marked ice vehicles roaming and pointing out people to camera crews onboard.
ICE is now ramming civilian cars through red lights in Minnesota. — they are tax payer agitators ‼️

Trump's thugs are going hog wild and tossing gas around in one of the busiest commercial districts in Minneapolis, just a mile or so from where I live. Complete insanity.

Breaking NYT:

The Pentagon used a secret aircraft painted to look like a civilian plane in its first boat attack, according to officials briefed on the matter.

The laws of armed conflict forbid combatants from feigning civilian status.

That is a war crime called "perfidy."

UPDATE: DHS addresses the video of an ICE Officer going into a port-a-potty with a detainee, insisting it’s a man not a woman and saying there is nothing to see here.

Without the person’s name, how can anyone believe a word these people say anymore?

America is now at the heavily armed secret police doing warrantless door-to-door house raids in search of undesirable ethnicities and/or political dissenters stage. The difference from well known historical cases is down to scale.
A video of ICE agents conducting door-to-door searches today in Minneapolis

The homeowner requests a warrant repeatedly, is told they don't require one, then is told they're getting it, then the agents storm in anyway

They also point a taser at her to try and disrupt filming

Trump tried to overturn an election and keep classified documents as souvenirs so he got federally prosecuted, and he used this to convince his base that law enforcement was weaponized against him — and now weaponizes law enforcement against those he dislikes without them caring.
“The U.S. attorney’s office in the District of Columbia has opened a criminal investigation into Jerome H. Powell, the Federal Reserve chair, over the central bank’s renovation of its Washington headquarters and whether Mr. Powell lied to Congress about the scope of the project…”

WARNER: It used to take 5 to 6 months to get trained. They've now lowered the training period to 47 days. Why 47 days? Because Donald Trump's the 47th president. Tell me that's a rational approach

The disinformation promulgated by X is so essential for the global polycoup that the US, an already-compromised state, will blackmail any government that threatens to ban or discipline it.
Barely anyone is going to see this, but if you’ve ever asked why X isn’t banned in the UK yet despite creating CSAM, it’s because the US government has enforced a worldwide policy of blackmail protecting the American tech oligarchy. It’s why TikTok can be banned but X cannot.
“Why can’t we have any regulations for US tech in Britain?”

Because the US trade rep has gone to every country including Britain and said if we regulate tech in a way that favours our people, industries and national interests, the US will bury us in tariffs and ruin our economy.

Trump’s line is that disrespect to law enforcement is punishable by death. Impeach and remove. This is not tolerable.
Q: "Do you believe that deadly force was necessary?"

Trump: "It was highly disrespectful of law enforcement. The woman and her friend were highly disrespectful of law enforcement…Law enforcement should not be in a position where they have to put up with this stuff."

Been thinking quite a lot this week about one of the very first cases I tracked of ICE detaining a U.S. citizen

A year ago, ICE agents detained a 20 YO they said swerved his car at them

But local Utah police checked security footage. And it wasn’t true

Turns out he was just talking about Iran..
The reports of violence, arbitrary arrests, and intimidation tactics by the Iranian regime against its own people are profoundly concerning. Canada strongly condemns the killing of protesters, and urges Iran to allow for freedom of expression and peaceful assembly without fear of reprisal.
