The White House is laser focused on threatening a military takeover of Greenland.

More humility should be the order of the day. No one really knows how anything will turn out. So you might as well try to do your best and importantly to take constructive action where you can. Nothing else is within your control.

Time is slippery. Our collective "we're very close" is already past tense for marginalized targets of systemic white supremacy. Some of us have long lived under the heavy hand of oppression. Now it stretches out to grab the rest. The way through tyranny is solidarity. We outnumber them.
We need to grapple with the reality that we're very close to living in a police state.

Your occasional reminder that Trump is the most unpopular president in modern (post-WWII) times.
He's underwater in 40 states with the remaining ten representing only 59 of the total 538 electoral votes (!)
If only media would preface and frame their POTUS coverage with these telling data.

"By what right does Denmark assert control over Greenland?"
The implied answer is obviously "by force" and if we're going to pick a fight with the entire world, that will eventually mean testing our military strength against literally everyone.

TAPPER: Can you rule out the US is going to take Greenland by force?
MILLER: Greenland should be part of the US. By what right does Denmark assert control over Greenland? The US is the power of NATO
T: So force is on the table?

If you want a good explanation of why the American system of government worked well enough for 200 years and then suddenly stopped, it's because Republicans in Congress suddenly started letting their partisan interests COMPLETELY override their institutional interests
