Norway's prime minister said that he received a message from U.S. President Donald Trump about rising tensions over Greenland in which the American leader reportedly said he no longer felt obligated to think purely of peace since he did not receive the Nobel Peace Prize. https://to.pbs.org/49Lovdm

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.

Pew Research Institute (2023):

• Red State Texas has about 2.1 million undocumented immigrants

• Red State Florida has 1.6 M undocumented immigrants

• Blue State Minnesota has 130,000.

And yet only Minnesota is being occupied by masked thugs over "immigration."

It's *not* about immigration.

How is Trump pardoning a republican rep's meth dealer son not a major story at every media outlet right now? Given the pearl clutching over the pardon of Hunter Biden, has the GOP and corporate media suddenly started caring about addiction? Or is there just a double standard? (Rhetorical)

Training cannot correct for deficiencies resulting from a lack of vetting. Remember what federal LEOs are normally screened for (CARLA F. BAD):

Character
Associates
Reputation
Loyalty
Ability
Finances
Bias
Alcohol/Addictions
Drugs

ICE is not being vetted against any of these. Shut it down.
No. We don’t need to “modify ICE training.” We need to close DHS. Dismantle it. It’s an outdated expensive bureaucracy that’s been usurped by violent white supremacists. Shut it down.

$1.5T for the military budget
$170B for ICE and Border Patrol
$1B to refurbish Trump's Qatar jet
$470M to send National Guard into cities
$230M for Trump's DOJ "compensation"
$200M for Kristi Noem's jets
$100M for Trump's golf outings

But no money to lower your healthcare costs.

If there are any actual adults in the White House, I hope they will put Trump in time out. His toddler tantrums are becoming a big problem.

So Trump is openly money laundering Venezuelan oil for cash through an offshore bank in Qatar, of which the control of the bank account is his, his alone.

He's doing this out in the open like it's normal. He's using the US military to steal the oil. Your tax dollars are funding International theft.

A reminder that the Epstein files still haven't been released in accordance with the Epstein Files Transparency Act. And the DOJ has now claimed that Congress has no right to appoint a Special Master to compel their release. Corrupt regime is corrupt.

Release the files.

@timothysnyder.bsky.social is sharing an extremely important #CupOfJoe. Drink it in.
As the state uses and normalizes violent forms of resistance, that makes it all the more important for the rest of us to use non-violent forms of resistance.

So she had a pulse. That’s what the doctor on the scene wanted to check. She wasn’t breathing, but she had a pulse. He could have started CPR right away.

Instead ICE barred the doctor from attending her and waited 15 mins for EMT to get to her.

ICE needs to mask to protect their identities, but ICE will publicize the names of protesters

ICE demands to be addressed respectfully, or ICE will call you a "fucking bitch"

ICE demands to be treated civilly, or ICE will fly into a rage and kill more innocents
