American citizens, most of whom have no formal weapons training, are being forced to stand up against armed masked men with at least some weapons training and the federal authority to shoot at will.
The military swore an oath to protect against domestic enemies.

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.

The UK has declined a US request to help invade Greenland. UK officials have instead met with their counterparts from Germany and France to begin preparations for deploying a defensive force in Greenland. The goal is to protect Greenland from invasion or attacks.

Europe, including France and Germany, have announced they are working on a plan in the event the United States follows through on its threat to attack Greenland.
Denmark is withdrawing troops from other areas to redeploy in defence of Greenland, also requests allied troops.

If fewer Americans had voted for Trump, Renee Good would be alive and caring for her child today.
No matter what lies Trump and his propagandists spread, no matter what nonsense the media prints, no matter what conspiracies MAGA invents, that remains manifestly true.

If Trump and Vance were truly confident in their (false) narrative around the ICE killing in Minneapolis, they’d allow a joint investigation with state law enforcement.

Moskowitz on Noem: "Is she hiding her face like her ICE agents now? By the way - is this what the $800b went to? Every day we see her after some new tragedy, she's wearing a different outfit with a different hat. She looks ridiculous. She deserves to be removed from her job, & if not impeached."

“This is but another cannon shot at a load-bearing wall in the U.S. vaccination program”.
I appreciated speaking with HuffPost today about RFK Jr. changing the CDC’s vaccine recommendations.
I also said that I do not believe these changes reflect guidance from expert CDC scientists.
