Germany sends troops to Greenland.

Germany has seen this movie before.

They played the bad guys then.

They want a different role in the sequel.

ICE agents are stalking the streets of Minneapolis demanding that random brown people provide proof of citizenship.

We good with that, America?

I thought we learned this lesson back in World War II, but I guess not.

Grateful to @geneweingarten.bsky.social for bringing up a story of a murder in the Civil Rights era that I had never heard of, one that has particular relevance right now.

This Has Happened Before
Viola Liuzzo was 39 years old when she was murdered. It was March 25, 1965.

They refused to probe a murder. The people with consciences walked out.

🚨 NEW: At least four leaders of the DOJ Civil Rights Division resigned because the section's head, Harmeet Dhillon, decided not to investigate shooting of Renee Good.

You don’t need to be a mental health professional to see that Donald Trump suffers from serious mental illness. At a minimum, he has a raging personality disorder. What leaves me livid is the fact that most Congressional Republicans see it too and choose to do nothing about it. It is disgraceful.

On my way to the Supreme Court where I'll be proud to support 15-year-old Becky Pepper-Jackson, West Virginia's only transgender athlete, as she opposes the state's effort to ban her from playing as herself.

Win or lose, Becky and her family are heroes for standing up for what's right

I am so very sorry to hear about the passing about my friend and colleague Professor Kimuli Kasara. She was a brilliant scholar and a bright, funny, warm person. I remember first meeting her as the only other Black woman/faculty at the Columbia political econ seminar and feeling relief/happiness

I appreciate this video, it's good!

But I'd like to add 1) the NATO Treaty is US law, having been ratified by the US Senate in 1949, so it's illegal to attack Denmark; & 2) France & the UK have nuclear weapons, so going to war with Europe means attacking two nuclear-armed states.
I can't believe I'm posting this video - but we actually have to have a conversation about the real world implications of America going to war over Greenland.

Let me walk you through it. It doesn't turn out well for us.

A Black man was killed by ICE (off duty) in Los Angeles on New Year’s Eve. And like Renée Good, he was an American citizen. But most people have not heard about Keith Porter.

I need y’all to realize this. Black people experience this lack of visibility all the time when it comes to being victims.

I am unaware what laws and jurisdictions apply to the current ICE/DHS occupation of random cities, but I must ask: Why has no Police or National Guard unit been deployed to STOP and detain/arrest them when their SOP clearly violates so many laws and citizens rights? Killing people should warrant it.

“Uruguay did what most nations still call impossible: it built a power grid that runs almost entirely on renewables—at half the cost of fossil fuels. The physicist who led that transformation says the same playbook could work anywhere—if governments have the courage to change the rules.”
