All of this is fucking senseless. Minnesota did not have an immigration problem. Trump sent his Nazi thugs here because he's racist against Somali people and to own libs like Tim Walz. Now two Minnesotans are dead and Minneapolis is on the verge of going up in flames. None. Of. This. Was. Necessary.

I mean, like, technically he’s not my mayor either, not living in New York as I don’t. Was this guy dropped on his head as a child?

Denmark is 8th among all countries in defense spending per capita and part of a massive defensive alliance that is far larger and stronger than its adversary, Russia, even WITHOUT the United States. Greenland faces zero threats other than Donald Trump.

Pretty sure Elon’s “free speech absolutism” isn’t just about platforming Nazis, but enabling child porn, too.
In a normal country none of this happens and if it does the guy making kiddie porn goes to jail

The dumbest part is that Venezuela could really USE foreign oil company investment right now. Their oil infrastructure is in tatters; with the right contracts they could greatly increase production and use extraction taxes to increase benefits to the people. Trump’s scared China would do that.

Any chance we could get some big ol’ headlines tomorrow saying Trump lied about the US running Venezuela? Attribute it to Liddl’ Marco if you’re too cowardly to state what was completely obvious at the time.

Just want to make it clear that Trump is NOT running Venezuela; there’s very little chance that he ever WILL run Venezuela, and the “invasion” was about the size of the Bin Laden raid. Stop taking his bullshit at face value, even if the national media are.

Of all the illegal shit Trump has pulled, this is actually the most standard-Republican-president move he’s made. Invading a Latin-American country to depose a dictator we don’t like without clear Congressional authority? Grenada and Panama are like:

Oh, god, please let his kids bury him on the golf course next to their mom for the tax break. Sorry, not breaking news; he’s still alive as far as I know. Just putting in an early request.

Insta post from a pal who was locked out of the house where he was dog sitting. Brought my lock pick set and we got in! Saved him $300 for a locksmith on Christmas Eve and made me feel heroic! Plus he was meeting fun people I know at a bar after so I got an unexpected hang with free drinks!

It’s the “season of love and giving”…but this year, doesn’t it seem more like a “season of fear and taking”? Like many of you, I’ve been saddened by the human impact of draconian government budget cuts and how angry many housed Americans are at unhoused Americans.

U.S. lawmakers moved to revive privateering, a practice banished since the age of sail, which will allow government-backed ships to target enemies.
To stop drug boats, GOP lawmakers want to license pirates of the Caribbean
A bill introduced Thursday looks to revive a presidential power from the age of sail, by which Trump could issue letters of marque to modern-day privateers.
