“I was also struck by one word in Vance’s second sentence: “Don’t try to run over our officers with your car.” For Vance, they’re “our officers.” The Trump administration’s officers. Deployed in battle against non-compliant Americans like Renee Nicole Good.”

A Killing in Minneapolis. A Gaslighting From the White House.
Minutes after ICE shot her, the Trump administration had already declared Renee Nicole Good a ‘domestic terrorist.’

With respect to Vance’s comments today on the killing of Renee Good:

“The party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command."

This is Greg Bovino explaining the orders from the top.

He takes his orders from Stephen Miller.

His guys are the ones shooting peaceful observers.

“Arrest as many people that touch you as you want to. Those are the general ORDERS all the way to the TOP. Everybody fucking gets it if they touch you. You hear what I'm saying?” ~ Greg Bovino

The Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension reports that the Trump loyal FBI is locking them out of the Renee Good murder investigation in Minneapolis, and blocking them from accessing evidence. Observers cite the regime’s record of cover-ups, raising doubts about the investigation’s impartiality.

The government should not only be stopping using the platform they should also be issuing urgent safeguarding advice to all institutions not to post pictures there.
I call on my party and my government to remove themselves entirely from X and communicate with the public where they actually participate online and can be protected from such illegality.

The Prime Minister of Denmark Mette Frederiksen to the United States:

“The Kingdom of Denmark, and thus Greenland, is a member of NATO and is therefore covered by the Alliance’s collective security guarantee.” I “strongly urge the United States to cease its threats.”

It's an old and obvious pattern. An unpopular president - failing on the economy and losing his grip on power at home - decides to launch a war for regime change abroad.

The American people don’t want to “run” a foreign country while our leaders fail to improve life in this one.

Venezuela now, because he wants the oil.

He wants the oil under Greenland too. And under Canada. He's openly called for them to be part of the USA.

How long before he decides to bomb a couple of NATO members to get his own way?

The USA is a rogue nation.

Trump doesn’t appear to have any congressional approval for a declaration of war, and doesn’t seem to have notified the Gang of Eight about any of this.

Before we talk international law, there seems to be some *extreme* disregard for US law here, too.
Rules-based international order has had a rough couple of decades, but this pretty much ends it entirely. Both the strikes and the capture of Maduro are also blatant violations of US domestic law too, of course.

Plausible worst case scenario with Venezuela in four steps:

1. Rubio and Venezuelan exiles sell the idea of decapitation strikes against Maduro to Trump as the one big thing that solves Venezuela, cartels and Cuba for the US.

Britain is facing renewed pressure from the White House to allow American chlorinated chicken and hormone-treated meat into UK supermarkets, as Donald Trump seeks trade concessions in exchange for reviving a collapsed US-UK technology deal.

Think on people 👇🏻
🚨 “Can I tell you how many times in the last 45 years the European Court of Human Rights has ruled against the UK when it comes to deporting people from this country - only 13 times - in 45 years”

Please remember this in 2026 when Nigel Farage tells you we must leave the ECHR to control our borders
Human rights are universal - politicians may not always find them politically convenient but it shouldn’t fall to any government to say who those rights should & should not apply to. Because none of us then has rights, just privileges that can be taken away by those in power

Denmark lost more troops per capita in the post 9/11 war on Afghanistan. Saying they “are not a good ally” because they won’t surrender their territories to the US is lunacy. We are betraying our allies to satisfy the whims of a would-be Emperor for whom the US is not enough.
They’re again advocating against Denmark when it comes to Greenland
