Massive crowds have taken to the streets of Nuuk to protest the Trump administration with one message: Greenland is not for sale. It is not negotiable.

Spanberger should be able to easily replace them given Dem trifecta

BREAKING: Massive anti-U.S., pro-Greenland protests have erupted in Copenhagen
Let that sink in, one of America’s closest allies is publicly protesting out of fear we might invade their territory
So much for the claim that “the world respects the U.S. under Trump.”
The reality? It’s the opposite.

ICE is morphing into Trump’s secret police force before our eyes
The agency is shunning norms of law enforcement and becoming a militarized wing of Trump's political agenda — and it's going to get worse.

I went on a ride along with Will today because I was trying to understand how a mobile patrol works. If you've ever fantasized about being either Spider-Man or Ned Leeds I would recommend going to Defend612 to volunteer. (Spider-Man: patrol. Ned Leeds: dispatch/notetaking/plate checks.)
I don’t want to jinx anything, but ICE presence in South Minneapolis has been MASSIVELY down the last two days, and also far less militarized. Very few masks and uniforms, and efforts to disguise their vehicles. Community watch has been suffocating them, I think.

I will not vote to fund DHS & ICE while they are putting Americans in danger, recklessly violating laws and decency, and refusing to be held accountable for or allow any oversight of their actions.

Trump is privately worried about the "optics" of ICE raids and his advisers are looking for ways to soften them, Axios reports. I'm calling bullshit: The terror and violence cannot be hived off from the broader policy agenda. They are 100% intrinsic to it.
