Politically I am either liberal or moderate, depending on how much people on the far left are pissing me off on any particular day.
As a member of Generation X, I try to live by the words of E.T. and Bill & Ted: "Be good" and "Be excellent to each other".

This post is for the brave residents of Minneapolis. If you really want to make the lives of ICE agents difficult and miserable:
Wear Mexican sombreros. Peruvian shawls. Somalian diracs. Moustaches. Hairpieces. *Brownface*.
Overwhelm ICE with so many damn diversions that they can't function.

I would like to think the Mad King proclaiming “I will continue to illegally raise taxes on the American people until the NATO alliance collapses” would be the type of statement to cause Congress to act, but I’m not sure there’s any red line the GOP Congress has anymore.
Trump says he'll impose a 10% tariff (rising to 25% in June) on Denmark, Norway, Sweden, France, Germany, the UK, the Netherlands and Finland, because they've sent people to Greenland, until the US can buy Greenland.

The hitherto toughest test to Nordic solidarity is beginning.
Last time the Nordics failed to stick together, Norway and Denmark got occupied by nazi Germany and Finland invaded by the Soviet Union.

Trump to hit Europe with 10% tariffs until Greenland deal is agreed

A massive "Hands off Greenland" protest is happening right now in Copenhagen to demonstrate against Trump's threats.
"The aim is to send a clear and unified message of respect for Greenland's democracy," organisers said.
“Respect for Greenland, respect for Greenlanders, respect for Denmark.”

In 2020, Trump tried to overturn the election. In 2024, he built an army of election deniers.
This year, he is raising the stakes. He said he wants to control vote counting. He suggested that he should've seized ballot boxes. Today, he said "We shouldn’t even have an election" at all.

The role of European satellite, military, and human intelligence will increase in supporting Ukraine, which is excellent for Europe. Sharing sensitive information with Trump’s America will inevitably decrease as well, we cannot take risks with that traitor.
