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?
M: Nobody is gonna fight the US militarily over future of Greenland

The ICE agent responsible is still not behind bars for murder. One person is dead in Minneapolis. How many more?

Any outlet reporting on this and not explicitly calling it murder is not an outlet worth following.

Her vehicle's right front panel cleared the ICE agent who didn't open fire until after he was at the side of her vehicle. He used deadly force on a fleeing individual, which is against DHS policy. This is murder. He needs to be arrested.

The same people who spent all day yesterday crying about an insurrectionist getting shot while trying to take over the Capitol are now defending ICE shooting a woman for trying to flee.

really? really? you're cool with "if you don't follow directions, they get to kill you"? that seems like a good state of affairs to you? that seems like how law enforcement ought to work: instant obeisance or death?

I am already seeing reporters parrot DHS's version of the story, which is journalistic malpractice. Every story they spun about being under threat in Chicago was either seriously undermined by subsequently revealed evidence or outright proven false in court. Lying is ALWAYS their first move.

This is a time for 1000s of mass meetings across the country to specifically address ICE & Border Patrol actions.
1. We need standardized agendas.
2. We need standardized teach ins - with local specificities.
3. We need mass meetings to happen in the same month.
4. Local officials must attend.

A doctor tried to provide aid to the woman and ICE agents pulled their guns on him and threatened to shoot him too if he didn't back away.
Let me repeat, ICE murdered a woman and then threatened to murder a doctor who tried to help her.
