A Trump attempt to seize or invade Greenland, protected by Denmark, a NATO member, would be the end of NATO. The coalition would fall apart if its leading power violates the territorial integrity and sovereignty of another member. It would trigger an economic war or worse between the US and Europe.

X has ~18m daily USA users. @bsky.app, ~1.5m.
Is it worth 20 MINS a day to proactively recruit and bring your friends, neighbors,relatives, businesses, anyone who is or could be a user, to @bsky.app?
If Bluesky ends up with more users than the others, you destabilize musk, zuck, trump.

"We're going to get rid of fact-checkers and replace them with community notes, similar to X, starting in the U.S," Mark Zuckerberg announces
He asserts that "the fact-checkers have just been too politically biased, and have destroyed more trust than they've created, especially in the U.S."

Last night, Jack Smith informed Judge Cannon that he would not turn his report into Garland until today at 1 PM ET. (See below.) So she blocked its release at 12:15 PM ET, so Garland couldn’t release it. Nor did she let Smith file his opposition by 7 PM ET today.

“Trump’s demand that Smith’s report be suppressed is a useful reminder that he really hates truthful accounts of January 6th, even if—especially if—they are based on testimony under oath from many different individuals, including many who worked for him.“
"The loathing is easily understandable. Politicians don’t like scrutiny. But one senses in addition to the hatred and the loathing, there’s an element of fear." Even more important, then.

So it turns out the Cybertruck bomber guy blew himself up because he believes in Trump and Musk so much.
He thought the visual of a burning Cybertruck under a Trump sign would ignite a wave a masculinity.
What a fucking moron.

Pell Grants are how I made it through undergrad without debt

Stripping these programs is nothing more than the desire of the ultra-wealthy to enhance their control over who gets an education

Pell grants are the only reason many working class people can get a college education and have a chance at economic mobility.
Musk and Ramaswamy have already identified $516B dollars in government savings — it includes cutting all of Veteran’s Affairs health care, eliminating the NIH, and ending funding for federal prisons. @morningjoe-msnbc.bsky.social
