Her mother called 911 for help… and got turned into ICE instead.

They placed her and her five year old daughter in a hotel and told them not to contact anyone.

ICE didn’t want the community fighting for them.

Mother & daughter have been deported to Honduras and the local police were complicit.

If people who are living in the midst of an invasion tell you that an action you are taking IS UNHELPFUL, the proper response is "thank you so much for letting me know. What would be helpful?"

or You can just STFU and keep it moving. You don't have to have a public meltdown. It's OK.

For the first time since Trump renewed his campaign to take over Greenland, people across the island braved freezing temperatures in coordinated protests.

Demonstrators waved Greenlandic flags. Some openly cried in the rain.

We need more American social media influencers with large audiences to speak up and "become political" if we are going to have a hope of saving America's democracy.

Bessent making it clear selling Greenland is a euphemism for Europe declaring itself a vassal continent.
WELKER: Is Greenland or NATO more vital to natl security?

BESSENT: That's obviously a false choice

W: Not to European leaders

B: They will come around & understand they need to be under the US security umbrella. What would happen in Ukraine if the US pulled support? The whole thing would collapse

Based on your accent you may not be a citizen
So no warrant, no clue who this guy is, 3 or more guys on one in front of a 5 year old and the government clams these are “targeted operations.” Meanwhile a SC judge thinks this is a minor inconvenience. 🤬

Over 200K Danish citizens signed a petition to buy California as a response to the orange felon’s hunt for Greenland.

The petition states that they’ll provide Californians with universal health care, fact-based politics, rule of law, lifetime supply of Danish pastries.

Love it.

Wasn't Trump indicted.
Heres Mike Johnson, speaker of the House of Representatives, saying that if another country indicts the president of the US in its courts, that entitles them to bomb Washington, murder Americans, kidnap the president, take them back to their country and put them on trial, and it would all be legal.

Spotted via a post on FB that JK Rowling is sharing tweets by well known homophobic and transphobic group Christian Concern, celebrating a bunch of TERF nurses and deliberately misgendering trans women. Another day, of her being rancid. Tell me again how she’s defending gay people?
