Question for ICE agents:
If you are aware of the parallels between your job and the Sturmabteilung (i.e. "Brownshirts") in the 1930s, how long do you think it will be before Operation Hummingbird kicks off, and what do you think the Army's 11th Airborne Division is standing by to do?
Just curious.

We have to see the logic of the killings as well as the killings themselves. The horror is a truth in itself. But it is also a sign of a political logic, one known from the totalitarian regimes of the twentieth century.

The US federal government is arbitrarily and summarily executing people in public in broad daylight.
Why do Americans condone this lawless behavior by their own government?

I want to see a televised comparison between the size of the crowd in the streets for the general strike in the twin cities today and the size of the crowd that attended Trump’s 2025 inauguration.

Not just the view from Denmark. The view from anywhere in the universe where logic works.
An existing treaty offers full U.S. military access to the island, so why go to war against NATO member Denmark?

Nuclear defense is why we built a base on Greenland in 1951. We had this idea 75 years ago. The base has been there since then. You don’t have to invade a country where you already have everything. Invasion just destroys what you have and much else besides.

Canada understands the danger the world is under and has allocated $2.5 billion to help Ukraine overcome the fascist Russian invaders. Be like Canada. 🇨🇦

The only way Russia can win in Ukraine is if they destroy the will of the population to live or defend. This is why it deploys millions of bots and thousands of propagandists across every nation and language. They lie to create despair, disillusionment, and turn populations against Ukraine.

Ukraine is what democracy looks like. Their government passed an unpopular law, the people protested the law, and now the government is going to change the law.
This is not possible in Russia.

Remember when Republicans accused Joe Biden of forcing a Ukrainian prosecutor to drop charges against someone and it was the worst scandal, ever?
