There is paperwork.

It's from 1916 when the US bought/traded $25M & official acknowledgment of Denmark's sovereignty over Greenland to Denmark for the Dutch West Indies because (stop me if you heard this one) the US was afraid another country would take it over.

In 1916, Denmark sold the Danish West Indies to the USA for $25M, with the colony becoming the US Virgin Islands. The USA was worried Germany could take control of the islands, though they had no plans to do so.

In exchange, the USA acknowledged Denmark's complete sovereignty over #Greenland

Saint Paul schools will be closed Tuesday and Wednesday to prepare for optional online learning.

I’ve seen schools close for snow, for pandemic, for natural disaster. I’ve never seen schools close because of threat from our own government.

Walz: "What's happening in MN defies belief. News reports simply don't do justice to the level of chaos & disruption & trauma the federal govt is raining down... This long ago stopped being a matter of immigration enforcement. Instead, it's a campaign of organized brutality against the people of MN"

When you see the mayhem in the streets of Minneapolis it's hard to believe that this is all about Trump and Stephen Miller's thirst for vengeance a psychologically twisted desire to brutalize immmigrants, people of color and political foes.

The city was peaceful. They purposefully incited this..

"“They specifically asked me if I knew where the Hmong families lived on my street & in the neighborhood.” Lugert-Thom responded, “I don’t know anything about that” & she said they then asked, “Well, what about the Asian families?”"

"“I was a bit shaken & a bit shocked of what I was asked to do.”"
A St. Paul resident says federal officers knocked on her door and asked her to identify Hmong and Asian households in her North End neighborhood last week.

I know people on Bsky know this but I hope it filters out: The feds are OCCUPYING the Twin Cities. This is a blockade, a siege. They are shutting down economic and civic activity. They are conducting "papers please" stops. They are criminalizing being a bystander/witness.

You could be next.

Yes, immigration agents not only took Arnoldo's phone, the 10th grader had to use Find My Phone to locate it — in a vending machine for used electronics, close to an ICE detention center.

MAGAs: The left is escalating the rhetoric by calling us Nazis

Also MAGAs: Look at our new podium, featuring a Nazi slogan about the time Nazis wiped out an entire village in Czechoslovakia and killed up to 5000 innocent people in retaliation for one Nazi being killed.

In 1993, Trump signed a mortgage for a Florida home, pledging it would be his principal residence. Seven weeks later, he attested a neighboring property would also be his principal residence.

In reality, he does not seem to have lived in either home.

JFC. It's a bit more than a "pressure campaign." It's a brazen abuse of power that Nixon could not have even dreamed of.
The Justice Department’s decision to open up a criminal investigation of Jerome Powell, the chair of the Federal Reserve, is a major escalation in the pressure campaign against the central bank to cut interest rates.

The bad old days of Trump pretending to advance the national interest, and commentators applauding naively, were very obnoxious. It is clarifying for the pretexts to crumble one by one. But it also means we're in a more dangerous place. New from me: www.offmessage.net/p/venezuela-...

Flashback to 2020—

On December 19, Trump tweeted, “Big protest in D.C. on January 6th. Be there, will be wild!”

Almost overnight, the cheapest room in his D.C. hotel on that January evening surged from $476 to $1,999.
