After nearly 50 years, Canada and Denmark resolved the Hans Island dispute in June 2022, splitting the island between Greenland and Canada's Nunavut. This agreement ended the "Whisky War" and showcased a peaceful approach to border disputes.

3 dead so far at Krome ICE detention center in Florida. Max capacity was 500, they have over 4,000 and not enough water and food. Reports say they get 1 cup of water per day. These are already death camps.

Pete Hegseth must resign or be fired immediately.

I wonder why the CyberTrucks keep falling apart? 🤔

This are great and noble FORMER public servants. youtube.com/shorts/sfcV4...

End of America? youtu.be/o4TqlzY6s9g?...

Trump & co. are trying crash the economy. They want the US to be like what happened in Russia, post USSR. They want to sell off, at bargain prices, our government assets and our (crashed) businesses. They want us scared, sick & penniless so we can’t/wont fight back. Wake up! Stop them!

Too bad Uvalde Elementary didn’t sell Teslas.

It’s time to hit the streets, everybody. See you there n Washington, DC.

Free Mahmoud Khalil. It's important to protect speech, even, perhaps especially, when we don't agree what's being said. If we don't support other people's First Amendment rights, then who will protect ours? We have to all be in this together.

We need a general strike on March 15. Who’s with me?

NEW: A source tells me that response teams for FEMA set to deploy to the South Carolina wildfires are unable to travel because their government issued travel cards have had their limits reduced to $1. FEMA response team cards were supposed to be exempt.

Pedro Pascal responding to transphobia on social media: “I can’t think of anything more vile and small and pathetic than terrorizing the smallest, most vulnerable community of people who want nothing from you, except the right to exist.” (via @charliejane.bsky.social) [capitalfm.com]

It's coming. Pay attention.

The United States now playing the role that communist satellite states once played in the UN: sponsoring resolutions in its own name but on behalf of Moscow.

Democratic governors pitch state jobs to federal workers cut by Trump. If it ends up helping laid-off workers get new jobs, the outreach could be a way for the politicians to win over voters ahead of elections at home — as well as to troll Trump. apnews.com/article/doge...

Everything he says about deportation camps on military bases is spot on—and alarming. But don’t get thrown off by the name Blackwater. It’s still out there—rebranded. Blackwater became Xe in 2009, then Academi in 2011, before merging into Constellis in 2014. The name changed but the op lives on. 🧵

BREAKING — NBC celebrates Black History Month by firing its most prominent primetime Black cable news host and its most prominent weekend Black cable news host, and pushing out its Black nightly news anchor.

I’ve been on the ground in DC for 7 minutes and three(!!) people, all black, passed me and said some version of how it was “horrible” that MSNBC fired me. Plus one white guy who raised his fist from across the street and shouted “Keep fighting!”

I’m somehow on a Heritage Foundation mailing list (😂) and they sent a survey to see what we think of DOGE. Who wants to offer some m-fing feedback?!? secured.heritage.org/the-heritage... Please share with a friend or a thousand :)

In future generations, when your children and grandchildren look back on this moment, they are not going to ask about the price of eggs. They are going to ask you what you did. Not what you felt. Not what you paid. But what you did. And I want to be able to say I did everything I possibly could.

REPOST if you support our federal workforce and know how dedicated they are to their jobs. Show them you appreciate them!

Dear Governor Kathy Hochul: It's time. You have the power to remove Eric Adams from office as NYC mayor. Take a stand -- and stand up for cleaning up corruption in New York. REMOVE ADAMS NOW. Sincerely, A New Yorker

ATTN FEDERAL WORKERS: I’ll say this again: download all your SF-50s, performance evals, and your eOPF. Now. Print hard copies. And make sure you file an informal grievance with your supervisor within 15 days of any adverse action. Here is a template: www.muellershewrote.com/p/informal-g...

In the past few days, we have seen shocking posts from one of the most famous men alive: Kanye West. Hate speech fuels violence. Every act of racial violence began with words. Report hate. Call it out. Stop bigotry. Fight Fascism. Do not tolerate evil. Be an interrupter. Resist!
