Archbishop Broglio is, to put it extremely mildly, not generally viewed as one of the more liberal of the American bishops.
It’s come to this: “Catholic members of the US armed forces could in good conscience consider disobeying orders to attack Greenland if such orders were issued, according to Archbishop Timothy Broglio, the bishop responsible for the pastoral care of US military personnel.”
Military archbishop: Troops could refuse orders on Greenland
Speaking to Britain's Sunday program on BBC, Archbishop Timothy Broglio reiterated that conscience could permit refusal of an unjust military order.

After accidentally mistaking Don Lemon for RW media & yelling fuck you 😅, Minnesota Man apologizes & explains that he's out in sub-0° bc white supremacy is a white person problem.
"This is the logical conclusion of allowing white people to have bigotry & racism for years. We fucked up so bad."

as it always is, part of the trump problem is that describing his behavior in plain language makes you sound like you should be on a 72 hour hold

explaining to the median voter that trump sent a late night text to the PM of norway telling him that trump is no considering peace as an option because the nobel prize was not awarded to him and that’s why we must have greenland and imagining their eyes widening as they slowly back away
Also half of my normie friends and colleagues have no idea about Greenland other than that whacky old president is up to his usual shenanigans

Though the one reason to have your HOA do it is because a lot of places still have nuisance laws on the books, and police agencies can decide they won’t respond to *your* future calls if they think you’re crying wolf or they decide you’re uncooperative.
Then, having a burner/alt-sim might be useful

When you see ICE on the property, call the management company to complain about weirdos stalking the residents. If your company is as reactive as mine, you’ll have cops & a tow truck in minutes.

I know this will likely not apply to a lot of Minnesotans, but keep it in mind for when your turn comes: if you live in a community with professional management (apartments, townhouses, HOA), check your documents for Loitering policies.

We found three cars full of masked ICE agents in a residential car park. Our guide asked them if they had a warrant, they refused to answer. I asked them several questions about what they were doing. They then made obscene gestures at us. Shortly afterwards, a drone appeared circling our car.

How dare the press *checks notes* focus on the president threatening to take an ally's territory by force because he didn't get a peace prize, which would then lead to the destruction of the world's largest security pact.

Also, please note: they tried very hard to be scary, kept saying “this is where you live, go home” over the loudspeaker. But when you continue to follow them, they don’t arrest you, they run. Their tactics are based in fear and bullying, not any true legal authority.
Here’s a really tense ICE situation in front of my home. One car looped a block 25 times until two reinforcement cars showed up and led me home. Was pretty scary because I was solo - BUT I knew I had backup from thousands of courageous neighbors and observers. Strength in numbers.

I genuinely had not thought about that, but it makes a certain amount of sense, given that these are our elite cold weather troops we're talking about
I think @malcolmnance.bsky.social is correct and they’re actually on standby for Greenland, not Minneapolis.

Cities Church is a ~10yo church plant of Bethlehem Baptist. The founding members were Bethlehem members and leaders, and the founding pastors had ties to Bethlehem Seminary. Bethlehem was founded by Piper, and has had a number of controversies due to its conservative masculine nationalist leanings

That church on Summit with the ICE pastor has a lot of ties to John Piper's Bethlehem seminary, and specifically with toxic figures that were kicked out of that (already quite conservative) church because they were abusive and palling around with fascist pastor Doug Wilson (Pete Hegseth's mentor)
