Glad to see so many others are gathering here. Here's to new beginnings. I once took a wrong turn on the way to my destination and to my delight, this was the view I'd have never seen otherwise. Here's to us all finding small things to delight us when we've lost our way for a bit.

The crown can impose tariffs for revenues without asking the parliament, thus, removing the need for the crown to rely on parliament for taxes.

The U.S. position is appalling. And it is a terrible state of affairs for NATO that Denmark, France, Germany, and others must show military strength in Greenland rather than elsewhere. But this is how you combat an illegitimate bully, and Americans elites could take a lesson here.

Another journalist assaulted by ICE in Minnesota.
Photo by Pierre Lavie. Yes this is me. And I threw my Leica. It landed on the bass plate with hardly a scratch. Another Photographer grabbed it along with my phone and I was able to track him later. I was held face down tear gas deployed right in front of me and pepper sprayed directly into the eye.

ICE has kidnapped so many people from their cars that the city had to put out this statement. Let that sink in.
Vehicles that are abandoned due to an ICE detention and towed to the City's impound lot will be released to their owners or a representative at no cost.

Exactly one year ago I went to Copenhagen. I wrote about the fallout from Trump's first phone call with the Danish prime minister. Danes have been preparing for this crisis for a year.

Liebe Medien, ich kann die Schlagzeile "Keine Einigung zwischen USA und Dänemark" nicht mehr sehen. Wenn ein Bewaffneter eine Bank stürmt, titelt ihr doch auch nicht: "Räuber und Kassiererin finden keinen Konsens über Geldübergabe." Hört auf, imperiale Aggression als normale Diplomatie zu framen.
