The only time Article V of the North Atlantic Treaty has been invoked, Denmark sent hundreds of their young men and women to bleed and die for us
Now that man of blood who crouches in the White House would have our soldiers kill and maim the same young men and women for his amusement

🇩🇰 51 dead, 231 injured 🇩🇰 in Afghanistan and Iraq, answering an ally’s call.
For the record: If we invade Greenland to conquer it I am revolutionary defeatist. It's an illegal invasion, a violation of the NATO charter, and a shameful betrayal of a loyal ally.

I do not think anybody is prepared for how quickly and how thoroughly things we've taken for granted our whole lives could change

This is Minneapolis:
Our kids asked that their white noise machine be turned up to try to drown out the noise of the helicopter that’s been nonstop since we woke up this morning.
Our 7yo asked “Isn’t it past their bedtime, too? They should go home & stop being so noisy.”

Overheard in the crowd, a mother explaining to her young child who is holding a cymbal: "Do you remember? This is the same road we marched on for George Floyd. Another man who was killed."

You really do have to wonder at what point Congressional Republicans finally end this
i agree, but the fact that we are here where EU sources are talking about nuking big tech among other US sectors to the Telegraph feels a lot like the 1939 moment
My guess is this is a very open attempt to get what remaining adults in the room to yell at Trump to knock this shit off least he stick their dicks in a hornet nest

you’re already ahead. stay with it. minneapolis stripped these forces of legitimacy (a battle other cities won’t have to repeat). remember they are completely outmanned. their only real advantage is their organizational capacity. out-organize them & the illusion of control will collapse.
I can't describe how bad Minneapolis feels right now. My neighbors are pulling kids out of school. The public schools are offering remote learning until 2/12. We are having conversations in our alleys about how to protect ourselves. It feels like a military occupation with a blockade.
The US Department of Agriculture suspends all federal funding to Minnesota, effective immediately.

This. On everything. With your uncle. With your coworkers. With anyone you know who supports anything. Make them say it out loud--WHY? Don't take the first answer--ok, but why? But why? But why? Make them go through every fig leaf until all that's left is "because I hate"
I do think it’s still a useful exercise to force them to say it out loud

It should be bigger news that masked agents were filmed hours ago removing potentially inculpatory evidence from the ICE shooter's house, clearly lacking evidence tags or chain of custody stickers.
Before we have word on whether he underwent a toxicology screen at the hospital following the killing

/4 Trump and ICE and the rest of the fascist scum can murder and lie and oppress, but they can’t kill that decency that some real Americans have. They don’t have it, they are inadequate without it, and it infuriates them. But they can’t kill it.

they didn’t leak it to make the shooter look innocent, but to make the victim look guilty. not guilty of a crime. guilty of having a visibly queer wife. guilty of liberalism. guilty of opposing the regime. they don’t seek to exonerate themselves, only to demonstrate who deserves to die.
In the video that the shooter took, which I believe was leaked to be exculpatory, he appears to yell “fucking bitch” after he shoots Renee Good.

Yes, JD. Let’s ask them if they think a stay at home mom, avowed Christian, and widow of a veteran deserved to be shot in the face and left to bleed out in her own car after dropping her 6-year-old off at school, for the crime of looking out for her neighbors. Let’s ask everyone running for office.
