We already have complete access to Greenland, including unfettered freedom of navigation into the Arctic.
We have a military base. We have early warning radar systems in place that will integrate with the “dome.”
And we have allies to help defend it. We don’t need Greenland.

ICE must be abolished. It has become a lawless, rogue agency. Federal law enforcement agencies must follow the law, if they're going to have any credibility enforcing it.
We are demanding justice for Renee Good and the prosecution of ICE agent Jonathan Ross for her murder.

Trump has a ten-month plan to ensure further elections are impossible.
It's *not even halfway through January* and his paramilitary is occupying a city and killing protesters as he prepares to invoke the Insurrection Act and floats canceling elections.
Wake up: fascism is here.
