    'Comply or die' is NOT freedom.

    Isn't the USA supposed to be the land of the free?

        Ed Davey's criticism of SpongeDon SquareTrumps is diluted.

        Davey failed to resist the urge to also criticise the Prime Minister.

        This neither demonstrates, nor encourages, solidarity.

                      "The dollar slid on Monday after Donald Trump threatened European allies with tariffs over his campaign to take control of Greenland, as the return of trade turmoil reawakened global investors’ concerns about their massive exposure to US assets.
                      The euro gained 0.4 per cent against the US currency by late afternoon in London, as did the pound, while stock markets fell on both sides of the Atlantic.

                      Fund managers said the dollar’s decline reflected anxiety that the latest escalation of Trump’s trade war could encourage global investors to sell or hedge US assets — in a revival of a trend that fuelled a 9 per cent fall in the currency’s last year.

                      “[This is] another chipping away at the credibility of US institutions,” said Altaf Kassam, head of investment strategy for Europe at State Street Investment Management, adding that he expected further declines for the dollar this year.

                      The Swiss franc, a safe haven in currency markets, was one of the big winners on Monday, rising 0.6 per cent against the dollar."

Considering your Country decided not to give me the Nobel Peace
Prize for having stopped 8 Wars PLUS, I no longer fecl an obligation
to think purely of Peace, although it will always be predominant, but
can now think about what is good and proper for the United States
of America. Denmark cannot protect that land from Russia or China,
and why do they have a “right of ownership” anyway? There are no
written documents, ics only a boa that landed there hundreds of
years ago, but we had boats landing there, also. I have done more for
NATO than any person since its founding, and now, NATO should
do something for the United States. The World is not secure unless
we have Complete and Total Control of Greenland. Thank you!

DON'T PANIC.

There are a lot of leaks from the White House and other folks suggesting that Trump is going to use MLK day to invoke the Insurrection Act, and if he doesn't do it today, I'm sure he will soon. He's also moved the 11th Airborne Division, a highly elite unit usually on the front lines in wars, to MN, although there is also speculation that this is a front for an invasion of Greenland, and there's no way of knowing.

My parents were in the crowd that heard MLK’s dream. I rode one of the first busses, when they finally rolled in the Deep South, decades after legislation demanded it. I remember being a student being given a ride home by a football player, and we both ended up with cop inflicted bruises, because they assumed a “white” girl was messing with a black boy.

Dear Ambassador:
 
President Trump has asked that the following message, shared with Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Støre, be forwarded to your [named head of government/state]

“Dear Jonas: Considering your Country decided not to give me the Nobel Peace Prize for having stopped 8 Wars PLUS, I no longer feel an obligation to think purely of Peace, although it will always be predominant, but can now think about what is good and proper for the United States of America. Denmark cannot protect that land from Russia or China, and why do they have a “right of ownership” anyway? There are no written documents, it’s only that a boat landed there hundreds of years ago, but we had boats landing there, also. I have done more for NATO than any other person since its founding, and no

You control its energy sources!

The space they are talking about is freedom. In Russia, mass protest used to be possible. (The first time people got prison terms for peaceful protest, in 2012, I wrote a whole book about it.) Then mass protest became impossible and the only option was what we called the one-person picket: a person standing alone with a sign. Then people started getting arrested for standing alone with a blank piece of paper, then for “liking” something on social media. Russian journalists used to know that they could write freely as long as they stuck to culture and avoided politics; now a person can get arrested for performing a tune by a banned songwriter.

But now is the time to focus on the similarities and try to learn from the ways other countries have cracked down on protest, eviscerated their electoral systems, limited their media freedom and built concentration camps. The only way to keep the space from imploding is to fill it, to prop up the walls: to claim all the room there still is for speaking, writing, publishing, protesting, voting. It’s what the people of Minnesota appear to be doing, and it’s something each of us needs to do — right now, while we still can."

Dear Ambassador:
 
President Trump has asked that the following message, shared with Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Støre, be forwarded to your [named head of government/state]

“Dear Jonas: Considering your Country decided not to give me the Nobel Peace Prize for having stopped 8 Wars PLUS, I no longer feel an obligation to think purely of Peace, although it will always be predominant, but can now think about what is good and proper for the United States of America. Denmark cannot protect that land from Russia or China, and why do they have a “right of ownership” anyway? There are no written documents, it’s only that a boat landed there hundreds of years ago, but we had boats landing there, also. I have done more for NATO than any other person since its founding, and now, NATO should do something for the United States. The World is not secure unless we have Complete and Total Control of Greenland. Thank you! President DJT”

What distinguishes his latest regime is its effort to reimagine and remake the borders of American state power, collapsing the foreign and the domestic in a single domain of impunity: call it ‘Homeland Empire’.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                        The Trump administration envisions “reshoring” national security in a lasting way, drawing on the dubious norms and legalities of the War on Terror and the rancid infrastructures and policing capacities of America’s domestic penal complex. If George W. Bush helped invent the concept of ‘homeland security’ in order to “fight the terrorists over there” rather than here, Trump seeks to bring the war to “OUR hemisphere”. From Caracas to Minneapolis, legal authority and institutional power are being redirected toward an overriding end: governing populations as subjects rather than citizens.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                        With a goal of processing more than one million annual removals (and as many as 10 million in the coming years), ‘mass deportation’ effectively recasts swathes of the country, and particularly major cities, as ideologically and racially alien, enemy territory to be ruled by force. Meanwhile, from Greenland to the “Gulf of America”, fantasies of lucrative resource wars and land grabs beckon. Like a latent image formed after harsh exposure, the Homeland Empire is what comes into view after the dissolution of America’s fading liberal imperium.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                        But a theory of violence is not a theory of power. Trump’s Homeland Empire is incapable of generating consensual order or lasting hegemony: it can only sustain itself through short-term clearing operations – smash and grab. Maybe this is what happens when the actual, functioning empire enters its terminal, attritional phase: construction, growth and visions of progress are replaced by pyrotechnic convulsions."

Russia essentially is allowing the US to have Greenland (and later Canada), while this would of course destroy NATO, making Europe more vulnerable to Russia. Basically, it's division of the continents, imperialistic 1800's style. Their plan is too obvious.

But is there any “right way” to carry out these policies within this adviser’s intended meaning of the phrase? The idea seems to be that one could achieve the full scale of mass deportations that Trump and Miller want, albeit in a way that would achieve wide public support. And there are huge problems with this notion.

For one thing, the core idea of removing this many undocumented immigrants—and the classes of them now getting deported—is itself deeply unpopular, even as an abstract goal. The Marquette Law School poll precisely gauges this by asking if respondents favor the deportation of people who have jobs, no criminal record, and who have lived here for some time. In November, it found that 56 percent of Americans oppose this. Trump’s nosediving overall approval on immigration—an Associated Press poll has him down to 38–61—almost certainly reflects this.

The dream of sanitized, popular mass deportations seems to rest on the idea that they can be carried out without mass societal disruptions—not to mention without the shocking imagery of roving paramilitary thugs tear-gassing, beating, and killing people. Accomplish this, and mass removals would no longer be unpopular even in the abstract.

But this doesn’t work, either. Miller’s articulated goal is to remove 3,000 people a day, or one million per year. Recall that last spring, Trump admitted that mass deportations are depriving farmers of good workers and sought to exempt them from removal. Miller privately opposed this plan, and it quietly died.

In other words, Miller’s agenda is that removing the “right” number of people—3,000 per day—must be done regardless of the societal disruptions it unleashes. The fact that mass deportations are causing such turmoil is inescapably embedded in the deeper priorities here—in the privileging of high removal numbers over all else; in the privileging of Miller’s ethnic reengineering project over the economy and even over public safety.

In short: If you drop the goal of high numbers, you’re dropping mass deportations. And that won’t happen. As it is, Miller is well short of that quota, and he’s scaling up ICE recruitment to hit his targets. So the societal disruptions will only get worse—of necessity.

Like, if we called the White House web site THE website, that’s worse. It’s imagining has power that he doesn’t. took those clauses off Some unnamed government web page did this. It’s bad. It’s malicious. It’s lots of things. But that does not mean they removed clauses from the constitution. They did not need to consult congress to modify a web page. That’s not what is wrong here.

MINNEAPOLIS — President Donald Trump threatened to invoke the Insurrection Act in Minnesota on Thursday, raising the prospect of sending U.S. troops into Minneapolis, despite opposition from state and local leaders, to quell protests over a recent federal immigration enforcement
surge.
Trump, in a Truth Social post, put the onus on Minnesota politicians to stop protesters from "attacking" Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents. Trump wrote that if the state couldn't calm the protesters, whom he referred to as "insurrectionists," he would "institute the INSURRECTION ACT ... and quickly put an end to the travesty that is taking place in that once great State."

Wednesday evening - shooting two people, one of whom was killed. Residents have responded by protesting the agents' use of force and the Trump administration's campaign to round up people who are not in the country legally.
The Insurrection Act enables a president to deploy the military on U.S. soil in extraordinary circumstances: to quell an insurrection, civil disorder or armed rebellion. By invoking the Insurrection Act, a president empowers the military to make arrests and perform searches domestically, functions that the military is generally otherwise prohibited from performing in the United States.

Residents have responded by protesting the agents' use of force and the Trump administration's campaign to round up people who are not in the country legally. The Insurrection Act enables a president to deploy the military on U.S. soil in extraordinary circumstances: to quell an insurrection, civil disorder or armed rebellion. By invoking the Insurrection Act, a president empowers the military to make arrests and perform searches domestically, functions that the military is generally otherwise prohibited from performing in the United States.

Federal officials on Thursday identified the man who was shot by law enforcement as Julio Cesar Sosa-Celis, a Venezuelan man who the Department of Homeland Security said was in the U.S. illegally after arriving in
2022. DHS has not identified the officer who shot Sosa-Celis.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                First: is threatening to send the military into to attack civilians.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                Third: Many C-17 III aircraft have recently landed in Gloucestershire, UK, as part of a significant U.S. military buildup, with flight data indicating they originated from Fort Campbell, KY, the home of the U.S. Army’s 160th Special Operations Aviation Regiment (Night Stalkers).

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                Additionally, AC-130J gunships were spotted arriving in Suffolk. While the C-17s are strategic airlifters capable of transporting troops and equipment, the AC-130J is a heavily armed gunship equipped with a 30mm Bushmaster cannon, a 105mm howitzer, and Hellfire missiles. These assets are typically used in special operations.

Il faut dire que pour le moment, la force européenne se compose de trois soldats suédois, de deux Norvégiens, de treize Allemands, d’une "quinzaine" de français, d’un officier britannique, d’un officier hollandais et de deux officiers finlandais.

If the corrupt politicians of Minnesota don't obey the law and stop the professional agitators and insurrectionists from
attacking the Patriots of I.C.E., who are only trying to do their job, I will institute the INSURRECTION ACT, which many Presidents have done before me, and quickly put an end to the travesty that is taking place in that once great State. Thank you for you attention to this matter! President DJT

(Wenn die korrupten Politiker Minnesotas sich nicht an das Gesetz halten und die professionellen Agitatoren und Aufständischen nicht daran hindern, die Beamten der Einwanderungsbehörde ICE anzugreifen, die lediglich ihrer Pflicht nachkommen wollen, werde ich das Aufstandsgesetz in Kraft setzen, wie es schon viele Präsidenten vor mir getan haben, und diesem Unheil, das sich in diesem einst so großartigen Staat abspielt, ein jähes Ende setzen.

They have been defending the agent since the shooting occurred. They’re blaming Renee. They’re saying she was a threat. That she should have complied. That she shouldn’t have been there.

Misogyny is killing women and driving draconian political decisions.

We’re going backwards in terms of women’s rights. We’ve already lost the right to abortion in many states. Birth control access has come under siege. Women have been arrested for miscarriages. There’s an increasing view among the right that women should be at home and serving their husband.

One need not look further than the huge following that Erika Kirk has created for herself in the aftermath of Charlie Kirk’s death. She’s built an entire brand out of misogyny. Out of telling women their place is in the home raising children. That their duty is to their husband, country and God.

These are all far right talking points that aim to demean and subjugate women. They want to make us less than. They want to take away our rights. They want to make us subservient to men.

What does that have to do with Renee Nicole Good’s killing?…

Penn refused, and the EEOC sued the university in November. What's new is that several groups just filed a motion in federal court to intervene in the lawsuit on the side of the university -- the American Association of University Professors (, national and UPenn chapters), the American Academy of Jewish Research, the UPenn Jewish Law Students Association, the UPenn Association of Senior and Emeritus Faculty.

The Nazi campaign against Jews depended on institutions like universities handing over information about their Jewish members to the authorities.”

Boot people off the air if they repeatedly lie.

TV hosts should fact-check liars in real time, and if guests don’t accept the proven facts presented, the interview should end immediately – and they shouldn’t be invited back. Major media don’t do this because they’d rather maintain access to powerful people than be honest with their audience. I say, screw access. If news outlets tried harder to find new people to interview instead of the same old cast of characters, they’d produce better journalism.

If a newsmaker has a history of lying, say so.

Some people would consider it biased to write: “Trump, who has lied about unveiling a health care plan for nearly a decade, said Tuesday: ‘I have concepts of a plan.’” In fact, such a sentence would provide honest and helpful context. There’s no question that Trump is the most pervasive liar in our nation’s political history. Why give him a clean slate every time, acting as if there’s a good chance he’s telling the truth this one time? Yet that’s exactly what mainstream media do. I would point out a newsmaker’s history of lying only if they’re notorious, repeat liars. But unfortunately, that describes many Republican politicians today.

Des manifestations massives émaillent les quatre coins du pays, parties du bazar de Téhéran et construites en réaction à une profonde crise économique et politique qui lamine le pays depuis plusieurs années. Un mouvement qui s’est particulièrement accentué dans la nuit du 8 au 9 janvier, à l’appel des principaux groupes d’opposition, et qui ne semble pas décélérer depuis. Acculé, le régime répond par le sang, plusieurs centaines de morts sont déjà recensés par des ONG, avec la crainte qu’il soit question d’encore beaucoup plus.

Des manifestations massives émaillent les quatre coins du pays, parties du bazar de Téhéran et construites en réaction à une profonde crise économique et politique qui lamine le pays depuis plusieurs années. Un mouvement qui s’est particulièrement accentué dans la nuit du 8 au 9 janvier, à l’appel des principaux groupes d’opposition, et qui ne semble pas décélérer depuis. Acculé, le régime répond par le sang, plusieurs centaines de morts sont déjà recensés par des ONG, avec la crainte qu’il soit question d’encore beaucoup plus. Le tout sous l’œil cynique des diplomaties occidentales, qui n’en sont pas à leur coup d’essai.

attacking Venezuela and abducting
their leader:

Remember we’re talking about a highly
corrupt leader, a known criminal who
used his high office to make billions
for himself, and has manipulated
elections to stay in power, has used
his military against his own citizens,
has protected his corrupt friends and
punished his political enemies.

And the President of Venezuela did
some bad things too.

I gotta be honest with you. I'm not feeling so great. Um, we have, uh, a woman, um, Renee Good was murdered in our streets of America today, and we got literally storm troopers running around terrorizing. And as much as I love all this, I can't. I don't know if I can pretend like this crazy stuff isn't happening. We have a president who says the laws of the of the world don't apply to him. And we could rely on his morality, but he has no morality. So where does that leave us? Where does that leave the world? So I love these people. I love being here, I love you, I, I, but I also can't. It's so hard to pretend anymore. This is crazy, what's happening. I have to ask you, because I have family from the Twin Cities, so I understand how how hard that is right now. Well, lots of people are hurting right now. And that's the problem is that the people are hurting. Yeah. And and people can't pay their rent. This isn't making us any safer. They can't pay their rent. They can't buy food. Insurance is impossible. They can't take care of their families and health. They there's no education. I mean, this is not making America better. If it was, I'd be: Yeah, great. Let's do it. But that's not that's not what's happening. And we have Americans being shot. Killed a woman in her car. [...]

Although President Trump has declared that America’s oil companies will soon “go in” to Venezuela and “spend billions of dollars” to rebuild that country’s petroleum industry, the administration is making two huge assumptions. First, that unleashing Venezuelan oil would yield lower energy prices for American consumers and giant profits for American companies. Second, that unlike previous administrations, which got bogged down for decades in failed nation building in Iraq and Afghanistan, Trump can simply let great American companies do what they do best—drill, baby, drill.

The Contract That Changed Everything

In late July 2025, deep within the Pentagon’s bureaucratic machinery, the U.S. Army quietly signed away a piece of its sovereignty.

A ten-billion-dollar contract with Palantir Technologies—one of the largest in the Department of Defense’s history—was framed as a move toward “efficiency.”
