My friend in the Twin Cities just posted this an hour ago.

Update: I was on the east side of Saint Paul assisting a call to document ICE activity (all the cities are my city). A car full of goons pulls up beside me at a red light, rolled down throw window, and said, "Stop, Carra. You are impeding an investigation. This is your last warning." They then got on 94 heading towards 52 and I immediately knew they were going to go to my house. I was in the middle of a call for rapid responders and said, "I think they're going to my house." They went directly to my house, with a snow plow assisting them to block off the next street to get there. I stayed blocks away. Police were notified and they have yet to show up. We are on our own- we only have eachother! Get on Signal NOW and connect with your tribe.

ICE was just at my house trying to intimidate me for observing!

How in the fuck are 3 out of 4 of these clowns picking Miami over a team that has absolutely dominated the entire season.

Miami didn’t even win the ACC

3 out of 4 commentators on ESPN pick Miami

Brutal truth on the Greenland sub right now:

The rest of the world views America as a single entity - full stop.

We're getting at least 10 posts a day from Americans apologising, and saying things like they didn't vote for Trump or don't support his policies. To be blunt, none of that actually matters. You can say you're different from the rest of Americans, but to the rest of the world, that distinction doesn't exist.

To us, your country is a single entity on the world stage, and it's threatening its allies. Think about how you view other countries.

This is elevating quickly - because this is NOT a truth social post, but an official message to NATO. Fucking bonkers.

NEW:
@potus
letter to
@jonasgahrstore
links
@NobelPrize
to Greenland, reiterates threats, and is forwarded by the NSC staff to multiple European ambassadors in Washington. I obtained the text from multiple officials:

Dear Ambassador:

President Trump has asked that the following message, shared with Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Støre, be forwarded to your [named head of government/state]

“Dear Jonas: 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, although it will always be predominant, but can now think about what is good and proper for the United States of America. Denmark cannot protect that land from Russia or China, and why do they have a “right of ownership” anyway? There are no written documents, it’s only that a boat landed there hundreds of years ago, but we had boats landing there, also. I have done more for NATO than any other person since its founding, and now, NATO should do something for the United States. The World is not secure unless we have Complete and Total Control of Greenland. Thank you! President DJT”

This is what led up to it. He was complaining about referees on the Bears late TD to tie at end of regulation. I responded WTF. He responded with the above.

People don’t like to complain about referees and then have referees challenge them back
