Then take action NOW! Write the bill, vote it into place, ensure all military leaders are trained on how to respond to contrary orders.
Kaine: "I can tell you this -- we will force a vote in the Senate about no US military action in Greenland or Denmark if we need to. We will get overwhelmingly bipartisan support that this president is foolish to even suggest this."

This is more instructive than surprising and illuminates the progress of the Christo-Fascist movement within the U.S.
"Together with my team, I spent around a year working on a historical investigation into how Russia prepared for the seizure of Crimea starting in the 1990s," writes Yevheniia Motorevska, Head of War Crimes Investigation Unit of the Kyiv Independent, in this op-ed.

ICE has awarded a contract to Constellis Holdings, the successor to the notorious mercenary firm Blackwater.
The contract is for "skip tracing" to hunt down 1.5 million immigrants—and offering bounties for their locations.

Was Keith's murder caught on video?
That may be the difference of his murder & Renee's
A decade past I, & many others were just as outraged by the murder of Philando Castile in MN. We saw him die an unnecessary death at the hands of a scared Pig. I realize this.

A Black man was killed by ICE (off duty) in Los Angeles on New Year’s Eve. And like Renée Good, he was an American citizen. But most people have not heard about Keith Porter.
I need y’all to realize this. Black people experience this lack of visibility all the time when it comes to being victims.
