The Democrats are so fucking useless, it’s breathtaking. The Republican Party has morphed into a proto-fascist, nationalist-populist cult of personality and Chuck Schumer drones on about bi-partisanship because he’s got Rand Paul on a resolution, like he ever mattered on anything.
Schumer: "Republicans must -- if there was ever a time, they must step up to the plate. This is the time. And if they don't, they're gonna feel the heat from their constituents."

Jacob Frey: "To ICE -- get the fuck out of Minneapolis"

The video seems to show what can only be described as an execution of an unarmed person by an ICE officer. This is what American fascism looks like.
In the video in the post, you can see that the officer can clearly get out of the way of the vehicle, at first doesn't, pulls his firearm and continues to shoot as the driver has already driven past him. bsky.app/profile/bnon...

Our Union is not perfect, but it is a promise.

That cooperation is stronger than confrontation.

That law is stronger than force.

Principles that apply not only to our European Union, but equally to Greenland.
