UK is not “giving away” the US base on Diego Garcia. Under UN & ICJ pressure, London is negotiating Chagos sovereignty with Mauritius while preserving US–UK basing rights, with proposals incl ~99-year arrangement. This has no legal or strategic link to Greenland

How dare the press *checks notes* focus on the president threatening to take an ally's territory by force because he didn't get a peace prize, which would then lead to the destruction of the world's largest security pact.

ICE agents pose as utility workers to get inside immigrants’ homes to detain them. The utility company has posted guidelines on how to recognize real utility employees. I have no words!

Seriously, if your top political priority is to attack Hakeem Jeffries and Chuck Schumer, we really need to unfollow each other.

One, because you’re attacking Democrats when we don’t need to attack Democrats.

And two, their “leadership style” isn’t what you’re REALLY objecting to, isn’t it?

Please do not refer to this "Board of Peace" as a UN-like entity.

It is a Mar-a-Lago Club / Rose Garden Club inspired membership with ONE person collecting fees, ONE person being in charge with neither citizens nor leaders having ANY say about anything.

Let's keep our heads on a swivel. Please.

We are watching one of the wildest things a nation-state has ever done: A superpower is committing suicide because the GOP Congress is too cowardly to stand up to the Mad King.

This is one of the wildest moments in all of geopolitics ever.
Footage shows Danish troops arriving in Greenland as part of a new military deployment. Among the personnel who landed on the island is Major General Peter H. Boysen, Chief of the Danish Army Command. #Greenland

The New Yorker has a profile here, so hopefully we can change that.

Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. dedicated his life fighting for equity and justice. He taught us that even in the face of intimidation and discrimination, we must never stop working towards a better future – a lesson that feels especially relevant today.

You want to know why Chuck Schumer is talking about affordability & not Trump being a fascist? It's because we already tried talking about him being a fascist *& everyone ignored us*.
A big part of why we are at where we are is that much of the world, the press, foreign leaders, a big hunk of US voters, simply refused to believe it when Democrats said Trump would be as bad as he is.

Colorado: Our best bet to see the storm will be just after sunset tonight. Look north around ~5:30-5:45p. Fingers crossed this holds until sunset tonight!

Solar storm is ongoing - fingers crossed this holds until sunset! If so, should be a great show.

We are currently experiencing a severe (G4) geomagnetic storm! This is in addition to the severe solar radiation storm already ongoing.

(Now would be a hilarious time for the Sun to throw out another large flare, to cause the simultaneous trinity of space weather effects).
