The incredibly lukewarm Democratic response on Greenland is being noticed in Europe, incidentally.
Chuck Schumer not finding a stronger word than “quixotic” for Trump’s plan to seize Greenland has been name checked to me more than once.

But Americans who want to save the alliance with Europe must have no illusions about how bad a condition this transatlantic partnership is in.

If there's one empirical insight I'd want everyone to understand about American politics, it's this:
America's problems are solved problems. Just not here.
What would change if the US simply matched the average of 31 peer democracies? Not Denmark or Norway. Just the middle of the pack. 🧵

With masked armed federal agents sitting at the corner and circling the St. Paul neighborhood for quite some time, about 50-100 neighbors came out to blow whistles. This man says this is his neighborhood and thanks everyone who came out.

Ari is part of the problem within the Democratic party.
His word, his insights, should be ignored.

Emanuel: We are not going to invade Greenland, and you shouldn’t pay full price for something Denmark would give you for free. They want a closer relationship. This is, again, a glaring example of why Donald Trump’s companies all went bankrupt—because he’s a rotten businessman.

Assourdissant, le silence de nos politiques face aux images de Renee Nicole Good tuée par l'ICE à Minneapolis. Il y a bien eu Faure et LFI, mais les autres ? Comme si ce meurtre ne préfigurait pas l’avenir possible de toutes les démocraties menacées de trumpisation.

They're the same person and if you support Newsom you support Shapiro. That simple. OK? I'll bring this up every time someone mentions Newsoms name unless it's in the context of what kind of splat he'd make if he fell off the Capitol Records building

Choosing to leave these people in these positions would compound harm. I agree with my colleagues that we need to consider ways to depoliticize higher ed boards (and we have some ideas of how to do that) but the current Governor and AG of VA are not the ones to politicize it.

Folks saying this is just as bad, I need you to reread about reconstruction. Not holding people accountable is how we get into this position. Removing people who colluded with the administration in an authoritarian takeover of higher ed from their position is the most reasonable thing to do.
