Having once lived in Reykjavík on a work visa, and as an American, I feel the need to loudly and clearly denounce this miserable sack of shit on behalf of Nordic Americans everywhere.
Incoming U.S. Ambassador to Iceland joked about Iceland becoming the 52nd state.

It's Casually Pepper Spraying Cop on every other street on a *good* day. (The bad days are state-sanctioned murders.)
This is what happened in our neighborhood yesterday. ICE snatched a human being off of our streets, roughed them up badly, and then pepper sprayed legal observers as they documented it all. This is a daily occurrence happening all throughout Minnesota right now.

As a lifelong Minnesota resident, I strongly recommend this op-ed. Gift link attached.
Jante's Law continues strong here. It's the very reason our communities are so resilient in the face of authoritarian threats.

I went to Minneapolis last week. What I saw was horrifying and inspiring in equal measure. Gift link to my latest column: www.nytimes.com/2026/01/19/o...

I know this kind of language is infuriating. They wouldn't be talking this way if they were winning though. A guy like Ogles - who hates the US, who loathes the constitution - is apoplectic about the resistance the regime has met in Minnesota. This is the talk of a bully who's being defeated.

I hope everyone listens to Attorney General @ag.state.mn.us on MPR @mprnews.org this morning, right after the news break. If I find a link to it on-demand, I'll share it below.

Workers in MN have had enough and are fighting back by not going to work on Jan 23rd for a general strike! Join the EWOC workshop to learn what protections you have and how you can join!

Minneapolis and Saint Paul have basically mobilized into a war economy of mutual aid and non-violent defense. I’ve never seen anything like it, even during Covid. People who barely vote are guarding their schools from ICE and doing the shopping for neighbors in hiding.
This is so smart. I’m so impressed with all the different ways you’re helping your neighbors.

ICE ended up returning the man, Saly, after realizing he’s a fucking US citizen with no criminal record, per his sister-in-law. These fucking animals.

I want to underline RACE AND POLICING and FEDERAL OVERREACH, because these are issues of violence being visited upon Minnesotans by authoritarians and provocateurs.
We don't have an image problem. We have a state-sponsored violence problem — an American problem.

Whether about race and policing, gun control and mental health, or immigration and federal overreach, Minnesota has been the face of the issues.
Minnesota, back in the national spotlight, wrestles with its public image
After repeated killings fueled national political debates, the state usually known for lakes and niceness now confronts a more tragic reputation.

I want to believe we are skirting the Cool Zone but frankly it's just going to get a whole lot worse before it gets better, because too many people in a position to do anything just stick their fingers in their ears.
At the very least, PBS and NPR are leading with the Greenland threats.

![NEW: @potus letter to @jonasgahrstore links @NobelPrize to Greenland, reiterates threats, and is forwarded by the NSC staff to multiple European ambassadors in Washington. I obtained the text from multiple officials:
Dear Ambassador:
President Trump has asked that the following message, shared with Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Støre, be forwarded to your [named head of government/state]
“Dear Jonas: Considering your Country decided not to give me the Nobel Peace Prize for having stopped 8 Wars PLUS, I no longer feel an obligation to think purely of Peace, although it will always be predominant, but can now think about what is good and proper for the United States of America. Denmark cannot protect that land from Russia or China, and why do they have a “right of ownership” anyway? There are no written documents, it’s only that a boat landed there hundreds of years ago, but we had boats landing there, also. I have done more for NATO than any other person since its founding, and now, NATO should do something for the United States. The World is not secure unless we have Complete and Total Control of Greenland. Thank you! President DJT”](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:hbpefio3f5csc44msmbgioxz/bafkreie7itpptx3xbxhpsnlaqmwk752h7pcrion5ija2apksljtax2adx4@jpeg)
