I know this is an old thought, but I came across this brilliant Octavia Butler poem again today, and I felt a fresh wave of grief that our president and his staff are cowards, fools, thieves, liars, AND tyrants, and what their awfulness is doing to us in turn.

Good morning, beloved.
Move in wisdom.
When that is too tall a task, move in silence.
From a distance, they look alike.
Today is a great day to overcome evil with good.

It is absolutely right that we do not need Greenland (or Canada) for natsec reasons because they are already close NATO allies. So the only rationale to turn the US into an aggressor in our own hemisphere is if you don’t plan on NATO being a US alliance in the future.

"Creating a ruckus" is his euphemism for wrote an op-ed in a newspaper. The Constitution protects all people under U.S. jurisdiction (not just citizens) from government actions penalizing them for speech, use of the free press, or peaceful assembly.
