the question isn’t whether greenland is strategically important. the question is whether the u.s. needs to own it to take advantage of that strategic importance, and the answer is very obviously “no”
While many Americans and Europeans say the U.S. doesn’t need to own Greenland to bolster security, the island does play a big role in defense for North America and across the North Atlantic.

Rogan has like 3 of these revelations a year but then he gets distracted by an AI video of a screaming black woman he thinks is real
I suppose it’s nominally good median brained Americans are waking up and I’m not sure how best to navigate how graceful to be towards people who want to walk back enabling this (an important conversation for the near future), but for now: yes you fucking rube. That’s exactly what we are
Joe Rogan criticizes ICE tactics: 'Are we really going to be the Gestapo?'
The influential podcaster, who endorsed Donald Trump in 2024, has been increasingly critical of the president’s mass deportation strategy.

the levels of corruption, grand and petty, that emerge from this are going to shock the conscience. I would make a very strong bet they're going to have targeted some people specifically to steal their property.
So much wrong with this but…they sold his phone?!? Like, for profit?? Now ICE can just confiscate and pawn your property???

And when he finally got home hours later, his shirt was ripped, he neck had angry, red welts, and he sobbed.

Having seen several abductions up close, it is really hard to convey how much the thing they’re doing is roaming in military convoys until they see someone who is alone and isn’t white, and then jumping out in large numbers, pulling them into a van, and screeching off, all in 90 seconds or so.
"“They specifically asked me if I knew where the Hmong families lived on my street & in the neighborhood.” Lugert-Thom responded, “I don’t know anything about that” & she said they then asked, “Well, what about the Asian families?”"
"“I was a bit shaken & a bit shocked of what I was asked to do.”"

and again--despite all the rhetoric about the us having an unstoppable military force relative to denmark, what this does is make the decision stark for the u.s.: if you do this, you have to commit to killing the troops of an ally
They'll stick to an official line of not explicitly saying it, keep all the face-saving off ramps open, it can be spun as doing what he asked for. But this is an actual for-real military deployment in response to a fear of an American invasion. Soldiers to defend themselves from us, the rogue state.
Denmark is underway to move more troops to Greenland in cooperation with undisclosed allies.
Preparatory staff are in place to solve logistics for potential larger Danish forces.
Details are sparse but dr.dk reports that first plane landed 2 days ago.

one interesting side note here, as a guy who has seen a lot of protests against various types of regimes professionally: americans don't seem scared of ice/cbp/dhs etc, which is a pretty key thing
I'm with Jake here: in fact I'm very surprised that anyone can see it otherwise. From where I am (given the information I am seeing etc) it seems *obvious* that the talk of a vibe-shift was dramatically mistaken and Americans have both in response to polling questions and on the street been furious.
I see this take around from time to time and totally disagree. ICE just murdered a woman standing up to them. No Kings is among the largest protests in history.
The complacency is coming from elites in media, business, universities, and the Democratic leadership

The past couple days have made it clear that arresting and prosecuting Johnathan Ross isn’t just the right thing to do, it is necessary to prevent future violence by ICE who have interpreted the situation as “we can do that to whoever we want”
A woman recording an ICE agent tells him "Shame on you."
The agent responds, "Have you all not learned from the past couple of days?"
"Learned what?" she asks
Then he knocks her phone out of her hand

It’s easy to think that schools in Minneapolis are closed because the Feds murdered someone in the street but no, the actual reason is that while that was happening, the Feds were busy doing other heinous shit across the city like tear-gassing a school
