I don't want to take Greenland from anyone! I don't want it to be part of the USA. This insanity has to be stopped.
TAPPER: Can you rule out the US is going to take Greenland by force?
MILLER: Greenland should be part of the US. By what right does Denmark assert control over Greenland? The US is the power of NATO
T: So force is on the table?
M: Nobody is gonna fight the US militarily over future of Greenland

This is what the true American spirit is.
Four generations of my family have served our country. Service is in my blood. The President wouldn’t know anything about that.

A Marine general stopped a fascist coup in the 1930s.
Today, under Trump’s second term, those same forces are rising again.
I talked with historian @katz.theracket.news about Smedley Butler, imperialism, and how we fight fascism now.

Even with Trump lording over America like a giant slug, positive change can and will still happen at the state (and city) level. https://robertreich.substack.com/p/a-wealth-tax-that-works

This is so shameful, and he says affordability is a hoax. This man is so far removed from real America that it isn't even funny.
35 million Americans live in poverty, and yet, this is what our president is focused on.

This is what happens when they have no human decency. They are showing you who they are; believe them.
So you should really watch this. Just 2 minutes. But a window into the truly radical nature of the people Trump is nominating.
When pressed today, the nominee to be Ambassador to South Africa refuses to oppose reinstituting laws to prevent black people from voting in America.

The White House is lying to keep the manbaby happy. It is sicking and not worthy of anything to do with the Kennedy Center.
The White House says the Kennedy Center board vote was “unanimous”…
BULLSHIT.
@repbeatty.bsky.social, a Congressional member of the board, was on the call. They muted her and didn't let her voice opposition.
This is beyond absurd, totally illegal, and a disgrace to the memory and legacy of JFK.

I saw something say that AI was making undergrad degrees useless and I can't ignore the fact that tech bros and billionaires want everyone else to not attend college to ensure the populace loses critical thinking skills and push them out of the ability to overtake them.
