#Denmark: a happy little country?

A new survey shows 41% of Danes fear personal consequences for publicly criticising the authorities.
Little wonder: the Danish govt is actively breaking with international law & conventions that protect citizens from state power

CNN pushing the limits of satire:
First they accuse #Maduro of making the #CIA “a convenient boogey man" & accusing it “without evidence" of wanting to topple him.
In the same breath as dismissing this as a conspiracy theory, CNN then admits that the CIA did, in fact, “supplant” Maduro.

A 37 year old US citizen & #Minneapolis resident has just been shot 10 times & killed by #ICE agents in the city.
The man was a first responder, part of a group monitoring ICE abuses in the community.
While he was licenced to conceal-carry a gun, videos clearly show him filming ICE with a camera
