Minnesota organizers confirm 50,000+ marched in Minneapolis amid brutally cold subzero temps around −20 °F. Protestors stood against impunity, ICE, and the Trump regime’s occupation.
They paid respects to Renee Good who was murdered and then publicly defamed by the regime. #3E

Where's the outrage we saw when Angela Rayner, who paid the wrong amount of tax on a property for her disabled son, & followed poor advice? She had a single breach of code for an amount ~10% of what Farage has tried to tax dodge.
When is he going to be made to resign due to media pressure?

Interesting Times article on the US approach re: Greenland.
It notes:
- Greenland isn’t even mentioned in the brand new US Security Strategy
- The US has few military resources geared to the Arctic
- Ending allied (NATO) arctic submarine-hunting would increase, not decrease military risk to 🇺🇸

Is Greenland really in danger of being overrun by Russia and China?
The US claims seizing the territory is vital for security but analysts say divisions with allies would make it less safe — and there is no immediate threat

World would be a ‘better place’ if US took over Greenland.
Appeasement of Trump means all powerful nations are free to expand their borders. Years of conflict & unrest would follow.
