I can't believe I'm posting this video - but we actually have to have a conversation about the real world implications of America going to war over Greenland.
Let me walk you through it. It doesn't turn out well for us.

To my Republican colleagues, the Vice President is spitting in your face and openly flouting your constitutional authority.
Time to decide if you came here to be a Member of Congress or a cheerleader for whatever Trump wants.

📚✨ Democracy is not abstract. It’s practiced in community.
In LA, faith communities are stepping up to strengthen democracy -- creating spaces where neighbors learn their rights, build trust, and care for one another in the face of fear and uncertainty.

Stealing victim’s groceries is low even for ICE
This is called pillaging.
ICE detain father shopping on Christmas Eve—then steal his family's groceries.
Then 3 agents divvy up his paid for food—taking what they want for themselves.
"Can I just get the wife's number to call and let her know?" woman asks.
"No, guess he should've complied," agent says.

We’ll take your vaccine schedule with a side of Greenland. Thanks!
This is dangerous and woefully misguided. America is not Denmark—for one, Denmark has universal health care.
RFK Jr. is doing everything possible to push his conspiracy-driven anti-vax agenda and it’s your kids and families who will suffer.
