Photo of the Day.

Around HALF of Greenland’s adult population is believed to have attended anti-Trump protests today.

This photo was taken by Sean Gallup for Getty Images. It captures the thousands who gathered in the capital Nuuk, to reject Trump’s threats to take the island.

Talked to a Somali man today who said his mosque last night was surrounded by neighbors ready to protect them against ICE if needed. Made me feel proud to live in this city.

This is what I hear from everyone I've had honor of speaking to in MN: wake up full of cortisol, check local socials & text chains to see latest horror, get marching orders for where to stand guard/send food/pitch in, go out in winter gear, try & sleep. Repeat.

it's easy to start an investigation of walz and frey. indictments & convictions are orders of magnitude harder. but the goal is what's important and it's nothing that breaking the power of the states which is the only brake on trump's attempted tyranny

"Vast majority of men are only willing to engage in public violence if they feel like the people around them will approve of — and reward them for — that violence. ICE Watch works because it surrounds men seeking approval with people loudly expressing their disapproval."

Gov. Walz to MS NOW:

"Two days ago it was Elissa Slotkin. Last week it was Jerome Powell. Before that, Mark Kelly. Weaponizing the justice system … is a dangerous, authoritarian tactic.

The very dutiful transcription of the fact that DOJ is launching an investigation into Walz and Frey doesn't exhibit the least critical thinking about what the crime was.

CBS at least names it but ... think about this, folks.

ICE has kidnapped so many people from their cars that the city had to put out this statement. Let that sink in.
Vehicles that are abandoned due to an ICE detention and towed to the City's impound lot will be released to their owners or a representative at no cost.

Russia loves Trump’s message on Greenland, as Putin has openly said. It is worth asking whether this was a Russian idea. It certainly divides and could destroy NATO, and it distracts from Russia’s ongoing invasion of Ukraine.

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.
