The bloodlust we are seeing from MAGA world over the murder of Renee Good must be a wake up call for anyone who still didn't grasp how dangerous MAGA is as a movement. If you ever wondered how Germans became Nazis you are seeing it play out in real time.

For @segyges.bsky.social: Greenland's been a fantasy of techbros for a long time; the 2024 Hereticon panel wasn't the first mention. Obviously talk would ramp up in anticipation of Trump's victory that week. We knew the plan to seize Greenland was serious when Howery was named ambassador to Denmark.

The message from the White House this morning is that, once again, it falls on ordinary American citizens to remain calm and professional when dealing with the heavily armed agents of the government because they are very emotional and might fly off into a murderous rage at the slightest insult.

Stop falling for the “untrained” narrative.
