Corporate America, including major investors in & distributors of Musk's xAI, go silent when pressed by @theatlantic.com about whether they will continue to do business with a company that enables the sexual harassment & exploitation of women & children.

Trump’s ICE thugs tear-gassed a Minneapolis neighborhood in the middle of the night and flash-banged a 6-month-old baby. ICE initially told a family trying to flee the gas that they could leave, then flash-banged their vehicle anyway. Their baby stopped breathing and was taken by EMTs. #GoodvsEvil

Frey: "This is not sustainable. This is an impossible situation our city is being put in. We cannot be at a place in America where we have 2 governmental agencies literally fighting one another. We are put in this position b/c we have approximately 600 police officers & there are 3,000 ICE agents."

Frey: "I've seen conduct from ICE that is disgusting & intolerable. If it were your city, it would unacceptable there too. ICE can leave & this massive deployment can come to an end. We have filed litigation to hopefully make it so, but I'm deeply concerned we don't have that kind of time."

Gen Mark Hertling: Disbelief gives way to alarm. Greenland is covered by NATO’s art 5. An armed attack would legally constitute an attack on Denmark, potentially triggering collective defense obligations among alliance members. In other words, the US would be attacking the very alliance it created.
