Hi everyone -- there is a general strike in Minnesota tomorrow to protest what the Trump administration and DHS are doing to our community. In solidarity with the action, I am going to donate my revenue from tmrw's newsletter to People over Papers, the Midway-Hamline Diaper Bank, & Every Meal. (1/2)

I'm surprised we don't yet have announced boycotts of the World Cup, but unless the World Cup goes off totally implausibly and improbably smoothly for international athletes and fans alike, it's hard for me to imagine that the '28 Olympics in LA won't get hit hard with boycotts.

And there’s this country - it’s not really a real country - it’s an island. I call it Greenland. I came up with that word. A lotta people don’t that. And this island, Iceland, it calls me daddy. All the people in Iceland call me daddy. Because I run the place. People from Iceland are called Cubes.

If Europe found a way for him to save face and move on, great. But Carney's speech was still spoken and was still true. The bell has rung.

The world learned today that you absolutely have to bully this dumb old asshole as a collective. Better late than never for them, but we better get used to being aggressively humiliated for the next few years.

New— An American citizen boarding flight from Boston to Lisbon just now told me after showing boarding pass, every passenger stopped on jetway by two ICE agents demanding to take their photo. When passenger asked why, ICE threatened to detain them. If they said no photo, couldn't board/TBD detained.

So petulant peewee piffleswipe Pierre Poilievre effectively admits he’s never had any commitment to the temporary riding he now represents.
Any more than he ever had to the riding where Mr. Fanjoy thrashed him.

The DHS response to questions about this story is bizarre for a number of reasons, but especially because the article is about how they detained a citizen.
“ICE has higher detention standards than most U.S. prisons that hold actual U.S. citizens.”

ICE ended up returning the man, Saly, after realizing he’s a fucking US citizen with no criminal record, per his sister-in-law. These fucking animals.

No, Greenland is a crucial place in the defense of the Northern Hemisphere, which is why *it's already bound to us by the most powerful alliance in history*
It's absurd at multiple levels.
Greenland isn't much useful for America's national security interests. Standing upto China's insane Current Account fudging is, so is helping Ukraine.
America lags behind in processing and refinement of rare earth minerals, not extraction.
Innate stupidity ignorance

Every time someone says "well, it's not an absurd idea," they're normalizing an absurd idea. We have everything we want from Greenland, and Trump isn't thinking about strategy, he's thinking about vanity and conquest.

Not the sort of letter committed to paper by a well man. "Considering your Country decided not to give me the Nobel Peace Prize for having stopped 8 Wars PLUS, I no longer feel an obligation to think purely of Peace"
