Hegseth wouldn't say there are no plans for invading Greenland. Instead, he said they plan for all contingencies. I wonder what the government will do if Greenland and other host countries ask the U.S. to shut their bases and leave. I'm sure each country has considered this.

Thanks Charlie! This is an amazing speech and everyone please listen closely! The orange felon should not be allowed in Canada to attend the G7! He’s a criminal felon and adjudicated rapist. He will disrupt and likely report classified information back to Putin! 🇨🇦 #CanadaStrong #USDemocracy

Someone, please explain the difference between detain and arrest. It seems to me that if you are detained, you cannot leave. And if you are arrested, you cannot leave. Either way, you are arrested. Or am I wrong. Seems like Symantec hair splitting to me.

You know how we know the troops sent to LA is a stunt, Trump sent them into a non situation being handled easily by the LAPD. But he would not send them to the capital on Jan 6 when they literally could have made the difference between life and death.

This man can lead us out of this mess.

Is Trump trying to provoke a civil war? The ultimate distraction and an excuse to invoke the insurrection act and martial law.

Attorney General William Tong of Connecticut says his state supports California. All eyes should be on California right now with Trump’s unlawful, unwarranted, and incendiary abuse use of the National Guard and potentially other federal troops against our own citizens on American soil.

#ProudBlue #Voices4Victory Fotus doesn’t care about our troops. He’s just recklessly using our military as a political tool to escalate tensions, silence dissent & crush opposition - violating our fundamental right to peaceful protest & our basic constitutional principles. #FreedomToDissent

🚨 Pyongyang is receiving both technologies & ready-made solutions from russia to begin domestic production of Shahed-series long-range kamikaze drones. The regime is preparing to supply manpower, this time under the guise of "labor migrants" & at far lower costs. en.defence-ua.com/industries/n...

We know the backstory, but does most of America?

#ResistanceRoots Today in history, 1942: Some 342 people from the village of Lidice in what is now the Czech Republic are murdered as reprisal for the assassination of SS officer Reinhard Heydrich. The village was falsely accused of aiding in the assassination, known as Operation Arthropod. /1

1. Trump has publicly and privately fantasized about deploying the military on US soil against protesters for years. In LA, with little justification, he has made those dreams a reality, violating longstanding democratic norms. He has manufactured a crisis. Let's review the history. 🧵

States’ rights!

Steven Miller calls the LA protest an insurrection against the laws and sovereignty of the United States, yet Jan 6 wasn't. Is Miller forgetful, a racist, white supremist, having a brain fart, all the above?

California Gov. Newsom pushed back against threats of arrest by Trump administration officials, remaining defiant as he oversees clashes between law enforcement agents and protesters in response to immigration raids across Los Angeles. www.nbcnews.com/politics/imm...

for goodness sake, can we please do something about kamala's lies?

cops doing crime on camera. as @chadloder.bsky.social has been pointing out all day, this is totally illegal. cops doing crime. on camera. adjust your stupid headlines accordingly.

Them: “LA is a full on insurrection” Us at the protest:

When Joe Biden did stuff like this, Fox would play the clips over and over like it was as significant as the moon landing

Hello. I live in Los Angeles. The president is lying.

The only reason y'all are saying it wasn't what you voted for now, is because you thought it was only going to be the melanin folks getting tossed up. Nah. Y'all in Danger too, girl.

Almost by definition, stable democracies do not allow agents of the state to operate under cover of concealment. Either that characterization is wrong - or we are no longer a stable democracy.
