Thousands of Danes and Greenlanders are protesting #Shit4Brain’s annexation efforts today in Copenhagen to make clear we shouldn’t annex Greenland.

There you have it; the Trump admin allows ICE lawyer James Rodden to stay on the job. His personal social media account praised Hitler, supported white nationalism, and said that America started going downhill the day that Lincoln was elected.
BREAKING: James Rodden, an ICE prosecutor who the Observer identified last year as the operator of an X account that posted “America is a White nation," “‘Migrants’ are all criminals,” and apparent praise of Adolf Hitler, appeared to be back at work Tuesday.

In case you were wondering, Jack Smith's testimony was the *opposite* of "total exoneration."

This is unconscionable.
In line to become U.S. citizens, they were asked what country they’re from. If they were from certain countries, they were pulled out of line. Just horrible. The very antithesis of what America is. Every Republican should lose in 2026 bcuz of this. Every single one.👇 www.wgbh.org/news/local/2...

In December 2018, Epstein wrote about Trump: “I am the one able to take him down.”
Eight months later, Epstein was found dead in a prison run by the Trump administration.
Weird coincidence.

1/ The US Government has quietly removed a memorial to Black soldiers who died in World War II from the Netherlands American Cemetery in Margraten, South Limburg. The move follows a complaint from the right-wing Heritage Foundation to the American Battle Monuments Commission. ⬇️

Rotten to its very core.

Imagine what Trump could do with the power over his cult if he made a speech like this; if he called for love and unity instead of hate and division.
It feels like time to share this again. Charlie Chaplin’s final speech in The Great Dictator is arguably the greatest monologue ever committed to film. I’ve seen it dozens of times & cry every single time.
