A woman recording an ICE agent tells him "Shame on you."
The agent responds, "Have you all not learned from the past couple of days?"
"Learned what?" she asks
Then he knocks her phone out of her hand

The starting point "Denmark cannot defend the territory" is misleading nonsense - given that Denmark allows the US to maintain military bases there
The Reform UK supporting Telegraph running a comment piece from a US CEO and president of the Palm Beach Freedom Institute about why Greenland belongs to the US is the hight of uninformed nonsense.

Greenland belongs in the United States
Denmark cannot defend the territory. It is too strategically important for the US to leave it vulnerable to potential Chinese control

This is absolutely what happened.
He didn't shoot her in the head at point blank range because he felt like he was in danger. He shot her in the head at point blank range because he was furious that she wasn't afraid of him. He shot her in the head at point blank range because he felt emasculated.

I generally think reporters at outlets like the Mail need some leeway: especially early career people need jobs and experience, so have to work places they might not want to.
But genuinely, I’d quit my job rather than have my byline appear next to that headline. Surely any decent person would.

My controversial take:
Liberals need to reclaim nostalgia from the right.
We need the standards & discourse of 1990s coupled with sense of positive rebuilding of the 1950s.
The problem with "Nostalgia always bad merchants" is people arent stupid they know some of recent past was better than now.

I have not personally used X/Twitter for some time now. It was already an unpleasant place prior to its takeover by Elon Musk but since his acceptance of hate speech and anonymous online abusers, it has become utterly unusable.

Starmer’s response to Trump attacking Venezuela:
“I always say and believe we should uphold international law.”
Really?
After the unforgivable stance on Israel he’s got no leg to stand on
…and the moral high ground will never be his to claim.
