I went to a meeting about this in my hometown once, it was just a bunch of boomers screaming "we like peace and quiet! We like it so much that we are willing to drive a half hour for everything!" Apparently these hum very loudly or something...
Renewable energy production could be a major earner for places like this but they don't want money, they want to be mad about being poor.

The Republican scum in congress are not the problem.
The Republican voting base *IS* the problem. And the fact that our legacy media has categorically refused to speak honestly about this problem, much less investigate how they got this way, is the other problem.

“Just following orders” didn’t work at Nuremberg, and it won’t work now. Fuck this guy.
In an interview with @whitneycwimbish.bsky.social, Blas Nuñez-Neto wouldn't tell us his clients, but did say we should remember that ICE agents are people too. (Can't believe this quote below)
prospect.org/2026/01/19/a...
prospect.org/2026/01/19/a...
![Nuñez-Neto recommended that protesters understand that ICE agents are people, too.
“I think it would help both sides to appreciate the fact that that’s a human being across from you who may or may not want to do the things they’ve been ordered to do. In my long history being in and out of the Department [of Homeland Security], it is very often what makes the news are the terrible things that happen but what doesn’t get reported are the … stories about agents bringing toys into the border patrol station,” he said.
“We’re all human beings, many of them have families, many of them don’t want to be doing what they’ve been directed to do … so it would help us all to lower the temperature a bit. I’m angry too.”](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:nztbvvo2gl4227zuxjf7gog3/bafkreia3sqpgq4ufvy746ld4tuadfwuf7ul4so6u2wjhf5oggd6kzxibtm@jpeg)

There's no way the rest of the world is going to trust us if we're going to pivot between being Leader of the Free World and the Russia of the West every 4 years based on how 150,000 people in Bucks County, PA feel about the price of eggs. This is what Americans need to understand most.
i do think even a lot of otherwise well-informed Americans really do not understand just how much Trump has already mutilated our global reputation and global trust.
it will take a long time and many acts of extreme contrition on our part to rebuild this.

this Greenland shit is fucking insane. it’s fucking insane. the fact that anyone is humoring him is fucking insane. the biggest problem in the world today is that nobody is taking the president seriously for the fucking psychopath he is. this isn’t all some fucking joke
![NEW: @potus letter to @jonasgahrstore links @NobelPrize to Greenland, reiterates threats, and is forwarded by the NSC staff to multiple European ambassadors in Washington. I obtained the text from multiple officials:
Dear Ambassador:
President Trump has asked that the following message, shared with Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Støre, be forwarded to your [named head of government/state]
“Dear Jonas: Considering your Country decided not to give me the Nobel Peace Prize for having stopped 8 Wars PLUS, I no longer feel an obligation to think purely of Peace, although it will always be predominant, but can now think about what is good and proper for the United States of America. Denmark cannot protect that land from Russia or China, and why do they have a “right of ownership” anyway? There are no written documents, it’s only that a boat landed there hundreds of years ago, but we had boats landing there, also. I have done more for NATO than any other person since its founding, and now, NATO should do something for the United States. The World is not secure unless we have Complete and Total Control of Greenland. Thank you! President DJT”](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:hbpefio3f5csc44msmbgioxz/bafkreie7itpptx3xbxhpsnlaqmwk752h7pcrion5ija2apksljtax2adx4@jpeg)

I've heard rumors that Philadelphia is next for the ICE invasion after Minneapolis.
Maybe I'm wrong, but
1) More than 11% of all ICE agents are in Minneapolis, and they've utterly failed to pacify the city.
2) Philly is 5x the size of Minneapolis.
3) "Minnesota nice" is a thing. We don't have that.

In light of the [unconfirmed] Philadelphia ICE raid rumors:
Tactics like DE-ARRESTING, which have been used against Nazis and white supremacists, are often illegal: cldc.org/de-arresting
There’s many zines and online resources that go into what de-arresting is, so you can avoid doing it. Just FYI!

TLDR: Europe owns a lot out of our debt and the ability to do business in Europe is crucial to US-based companies. If they call in that debt and start restricting or sanctioning us, we enter a second Great Depression in effect.
