That means their forces doing this instead of doing something better. It means they are having to plan to do this instead of doing something else. It means them thinking through scenarios where the US is an enemy, instead of thinking through scenarios where the US is an ally. These are costs *now*.

Folks in the US still like to treat the whole Greenland invasion stuff as sufficiently unserious to engage with, but it is sufficiently serious that NATO allies are actively deploying tripwire forces to deter the US. That is *already* a political and actual cost to them, and to US relationships

Don’t let the professionally dishonest & the intentionally disingenuous frame an issue as a binary choice of either getting run over or shooting a person. There is literally a universe of options between those two extremes. Stop listening to dolts or liars. Options, create them, and use them…

Emily Heller, an eyewitness, is speaking out to set the record straight. Officers were screaming at Renee Nicole Good, “Move, move, move.”
So she moved, and they shot her multiple times? Then Noem and Trump branded her a domestic terrorist. Does everyone see how absolutely insane that sounds?

Congress needs to make sure there are consequences for this week. You can’t unilaterally start a war and destabilize our international alliances while your goons shoot a mother in the face domestically and get to say wait til the next election. USE YOUR OFFICE NOW.

Just saw a picture of stuffed animals in the woman's car and man...I really am struggling to find the words right now. This is all just so unspeakably devastating, and I don't know how we come back from it.

I want to find the consultant who convinced Dems to stick with this framing, tie them to a stake, light a match, and tell everyone they have to decide between caring about saving them or caring about milk being 2% cheaper
The White House is laser focused on threatening a military takeover of Greenland.
Where’s the same focus on lowering costs?

one of the things i hate most about this persistent line of argument is the implication that any of these actions would be fine if groceries were cheaper

If you don’t hate where we are for EVERYONE, you don’t disagree with what’s happening. You just want to change the targets.

Let people be their true selves, as they know and understand them. Let children explore their identities. Celebrate difference and variety and the incredible spectrum of humanity. The only alternative denies an opportunity to celebrate the joy of human flourishing and is ultimately unspeakably cruel

the weird two-year stretch in which i was older than every nfl quarterback is finally over. hopefully that will never happen again
The Colts will start QB Philip Rivers on Sunday against the Seahawks, sources tell The Insiders.
Age 44, out of retirement, after a full week of practice, Rivers is a go.

I look at what this criminal griftocracy has done to basically *all* of America’s long-time allies and friendships, it really is a goddamned sad nightmare. And Trump’s replacing these relationships forged through decades of diplomacy with the worst thugs and despots from around the world.

Here's a photo of my friend and colleague, Jorge Bautista, getting shot in the face with a flashbang grenade. The ICE Agent is so afraid of Jorge (who was posing no threat) that he has wet himself. Please share this photo. Everyone needs to know what cowards ICE agents are.

Tell them they got what they voted for.
Republican Senator Thom Tillis: What do I tell 663,000 people and two years or three years when President Trump breaks his promise by pushing them off of Medicaid. Trump's advisers in the White House are not telling him that the effect of this bill is to break a promise.
