Can you imagine if WWIII starts because of a fight over Greenland?
European troops arrive in Greenland as Trump throws another curveball
Russia said NATO members were bolstering their military presences in the Arctic territory “under the false pretext of a growing threat from Moscow and Beijing.”

I've had a really miserable work day. I have a screaming headache.

Thankfully, I have schoolwork to do. Grad school never stops. :)

This has been the plan all along.
- Foment violence and chaos in the streets of MN
- Implement the Insurrection Act
- Declare Martial Law
- Suspend elections

Something feels...off...today. I realize we've been in a state of ongoing crisis for a year, but for some reason my spidey senses are on high alert today.

Anyone else getting that vibe?

Call his bluff, @governorwalz.mn.gov. Make him do it. Don't comply.
Trump threatened to invoke the insurrection act on Minnesota.

These are meaningless threats. The city is already under occupation by federal forces. This is about scaring local electeds into cracking down for him and having preemptive compliance.

Sigh.
MINNEAPOLIS (AP) - Trump threatens to use the Insurrection Act, allowing him to deploy troops, to 'put an end' to protests in Minneapolis.

New in PN: Democrats need to shut down Trump's terrorist government

"Democrats should reject any pretense of political normalcy while Trump’s goons wage an ongoing terror campaign against their own constituents. With government funding running out soon, the time to take a stand is now."
Democrats need to shut down Trump's terrorist government
Funding the war on their own constituents would be a grave betrayal.

@sanders.senate.gov, can you grab Peter Welch by the ear and drag him the hell out of there? I don't want MY senator anywhere near that pedophilic, bigoted, narcissistic asshole!
Democratic Sen. Peter Welch is in the Oval Office and now speaking at this Trump event

I began my first course in pursuit of my MS/EdPsych last night. The course is self-paced & online. I can't even begin to express what a relief it is to be able to work on my own, on something I'm passionate about, without the friction & conflict of work.

I can't WAIT to get back to it!

Hey @schumer.senate.gov and @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social...you should hit her up!

On January 7, 2026 Good was Murdered by Evil in Minneapolis, MN.

The regime told us to not believe what we saw and immediately branded a 37yo mother as a Domestic Terrorist.

We will not let the evil of MAGA win. We will not lie down. We will not be silenced.

Hear that, @balint.house.gov and @sanders.senate.gov? Shut it down.
Any Democratic votes to fund DHS later this month as Minneapolis is being terrorized by DHS is going to be a major slap in the face to Americans living here. Demand major reforms or shut the government down.

I'm willing to accept 'abolish ICE' as a compromise, a middle-of-the-road position, but it really is the bare minimum at this point. We also need to put all these guys on lists that bar them from future employment anywhere, requiring them to forage for leaves and berries as basic sustenance.
I don't have much disgust I can feel in one day after witnessing so called law enforcement officers putting a kid in a van without his parents' knowledge, then driving away.

I know the country is a complete mess right now.

But I have taken a momentary break to consider my longing for a return of late 1990s/early 2000s women’s pantsuits.

Ok, I’m back to being worried sick.

And look at all of Target's management taking action to eject Meal Team Six from their store.

See all the managers?

#BoycottTarget
Border Patrol Commander Greg Bovino and goons heckled by activists and shoppers protesting his presence as he and a federal agent caravan leave a Target in St Paul, Minnesota for a restroom break. 'Get the fuck outta here' 'You guys are bitches' 'Nobody wants you here!'

The Cities are under siege. I wish I was there to stand against this travesty.
On 1/11/26, (ICE) and (CBP) in St. Paul, Minnesota, broke the window of an activist at a gas station. They then forcibly removed him from his car and abducted him while simultaneously firing pepper balls at other community members.

This is today in Minnesota. A swarm of ICE thugs bashed in the door with guns aimed. Everyone has to watch and share. This is now Sunday in America.

Welcome to the Third Reich.
BREAKING REPORTS: Ice has blocked off an entire street and is going door to door in Minneapolis. This has been also reported by @veronicadelacruztv.bsky.social

ICE is not meant to be an occupying army! We demand #ICEOUTforGood!

Reason #10,289 why I boycott Target. I don't see management telling them to buzz off.
ICE at Midway Target and seem to possible be leaving. Lots of community members here
