No but seriously this is GOOD chart making
Everyone has got to start making every chart like this because Americans are too stupid to remember who was president in 2016, 2020, or 2024

Anyway I don't expect to change anyone's mind. I just want to be on record somewhere saying that killing this woman — and then claiming to be the real victim, with the militarized might of the federal government behind you — is one of the most cowardly things I've ever seen.

You are right, ICE agents aren't Disney Villains. Many Disney Villains are capable of redemption
ICE agents aren't Disney villains. They're our neighbors, friends, and loved ones. These immigration and customs enforcement officers are red-blooded American patriots doing a tough job to keep our nation safe. Assaults against ICE are up 1,300%. I stand with @DHSgov.

Nah. Fuck off, Wesley

Remember during the George Floyd protests when Trump asked why they couldn't just shoot protestors There's no one stopping him this time, and that's my biggest fear

Everyone uses mercator all the time because it is the basis for a lot of our modern maps (easier to look at squares) And we have (had?) An alliance with the EU it's called NATO and we already have US nato bases in Greenland, dork
Greenland - As viewed from a proper map Why Greenland? Well because Moscow bases almost all of their strategic military assets on the Kola Peninsula next to Finland. This is where the Russian ICBM silos, submarine bases, and their strategic bombers are. If you look at the flight path (ballistic or powered) from Kola to anywhere on the lower 48, then everything goes over Greenland. Greenland is the theatre where any strategic exchange between Washington and Moscow is contested. If you want to intercept a ballistic missile, the best point to do so is at the apogee, at the top of the flight path. The shortest route for an interceptor to get to an apogee is from directly below the apogee. That’s where Greenland is. So, without stating what should happen here, this is **why** the Trump administration says they **need** Greenland for national security. The other thing that is happening is that the Northern Passage through the Arctic is opening up, and soon there will be Chinese cargo ships sailing through the Arctic to Rotterdam. It’s faster than the Suez and the ships aren’t limited to Suezmax size so China and EU trade is going to accelerate a lot. This means Chinese submarines will also be venturing under the Arctic into the Northern Atlantic, IF THEY AREN’T ALREADY DOING SO. Hence, the North East coast of Greenland serves not 1 but 2 critical strategic security objectives of US national security. If this wasn’t clear to you, please understand that the Mercator global map projection is for children and journalists only. It is not a useful guide to where any countries or territories actually are in the real world that we live in. No self respecting adult should be using Mercator for their worldview. Anyone saying “there must be some other secret reason for Trump being interested in Greenland” is a certified ignoramus.
Community note
It’s important to note that the us already has bases in greenland, including the Pituffik Space Base (formerly Thule Air Base) Both denmark and the US signed a treaty (Kauffmann Treaty 1941 & 1951) that allowed the us to built bases in greenland. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pituffik_… um.dk/udenrigspoliti… da.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grøn… retsinformation.dk/eli/ltc/1951/23 nalunaarutit.gl/international-…

2 things at work: 1. This was a widely covered story outside of conservative media. We knew about it before nick who-ever-the-fuck started a trend of asking daycares where the kids are 2. So many conservative media stories are just straight up lies it's rational to disbelieve
Calling the problems Walz faced the product of a “conservative media campaign” reminds me of what my colleague Ruy Teixeira dubbed the Fox News fallacy: many Dems think that stories covered mostly or exclusively from the right aren’t a big deal or even true at all.

Both Nick Shirley and his far right TikTok influencer mom relied on a guy they simply called “David” in their viral, baseless daycare videos. The Intercept has identified that man as a lobbyist and one time GOP candidate for AG, with a history of vile social media posts.
"David," it turns out, is actually a political operative with connections to the Minnesota state House. interc.pt/3NrJSZo

It's so clear that Sundown Donald isn't running the country
Breaking: Rubio said the US Navy will keep up a "quarantine" of some Venezuelan oil exports to coerce Maduro's allies to open up the oil industry. A White House official said that's what Trump meant when he said the US will "run" Venezuela. It's the new gunboat diplomacy.

Land tax would, quite literally, solve this
After 2.5 years for permits, construction and inspections, I finally added a 249 square foot laundry room to my house. And what did I just get in the mail from the LA County Tax Assessor’s office? A notice that my property tax is going up because of it. Why? I’m not making any more use of schools, fire dept, water (which I have to pay for separately anyway), police or anything else. Just more tax 💸 to people who will blow our cash.
