Somewhere in Minnesota, a young girl is hiding in an attic with her family – journaling with hope.

May we not disappoint her.

More than 200,000 Danish citizens have signed a petition to buy California as a response to Trump’s attempt to take Greenland.

They say they will provide Californians with “rule of law, universal health care, fact-based politics, and a lifetime supply of Danish pastries.”

Our family has a small budget and no guns nor any weapons.

If we bought Miller’s garbage view of the world, we’d arm ourselves to the teeth and spend every moment making money rather than helping others.

It’s not countries he’s talking about; it’s us.

He wants us scared enough to become him.
Stephen Miller: Denmark is a tiny country with a tiny economy and a tiny military. They cannot defend Greenland... Under every understanding of law that has existed about territorial control for 500 years, to control a territory you have to be able to defend a territory...

Repression almost never announces itself by targeting everyone at once. It begins quietly, aimed at minorities, those with less power, fewer allies, or voices that are easier to ignore. Their rights are restricted, their freedoms narrowed, and their suffering dismissed as exceptional or deserved.

BREAKING: Massive anti-U.S., pro-Greenland protests have erupted in Copenhagen

Let that sink in, one of America’s closest allies is publicly protesting out of fear we might invade their territory

So much for the claim that “the world respects the U.S. under Trump.”

The reality? It’s the opposite.

Now that we’re all about “complying with the law” re Minnesota, does that extend to complying with the law re Epstein files?

Two days ago it was Elissa Slotkin. Last week it was Jerome Powell. Before that, Mark Kelly. Weaponizing the justice system against your opponents is an authoritarian tactic.

The only person not being investigated for the shooting of Renee Good is the federal agent who shot her.

If you can “give” your Nobel Peace Prize to someone like Donald Trump, you clearly didn’t deserve a Nobel Peace Prize.

The Nobel Prize museum in Oslo subtweeting the fuck out of Trump today.
The #NobelPeacePrize medal. It measures 6.6 cm in diameter, weighs 196 grams and is struck in gold. On its face, a portrait of Alfred Nobel and on its reverse, three naked men holding around each other’s shoulders as a sign of brotherhood. A design unchanged for 120 years. Did you know that some Nobel Peace Prize medals have been passed on after the award was given? A well‑known case is Dmitry Muratov’s medal, which was auctioned for over USD 100 million to support refugees from the war in Ukraine. And the medal displayed at the Nobel Peace Center is actually on loan and originally belonged to Christian Lous Lange, Norway’s first Peace Prize laureate. But one truth remains. As the Norwegian Nobel Committee states: “Once a Nobel Prize is announced, it cannot be revoked, shared, or transferred to others. The decision is final and stands for all time.” A medal can change owners, but the title of a Nobel Peace Prize laureate cannot.
