Trump uses any violent national tragedy as ammo. He has seized upon ICE shootings, assassinations, mass attacks, and other deadly traumas to stoke partisan division and justify extreme policies and actions.
![NEW: @potus letter to @jonasgahrstore links @NobelPrize to Greenland, reiterates threats, and is forwarded by the NSC staff to multiple European ambassadors in Washington. I obtained the text from multiple officials:
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”](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:hbpefio3f5csc44msmbgioxz/bafkreie7itpptx3xbxhpsnlaqmwk752h7pcrion5ija2apksljtax2adx4)

from the PBS Newshour correspondent
Pew Research Institute (2023):
• Red State Texas has about 2.1 million undocumented immigrants
• Red State Florida has 1.6 M undocumented immigrants
• Blue State Minnesota has 130,000.
And yet only Minnesota is being occupied by masked thugs over "immigration."
It's *not* about immigration.
Such soft language to describe a president who is displaying signs of dementia and an administration that is echoing the steps of an authoritarian dictatorship.
Trump & Stephen Miller CREATE emergencies, label Americans as invaders & insurrectionists, unleash the military and National Guard, create their private militia, gain complicity from most institutions...to what end?
Declare Martial Law before midterms. Suspend/delay elections.
Who stops them?
Israel’s renewed effort to “conquer” the strip has forced 300,000 starving Palestinians to flee south in just 48 hours.
Genocide.

A few weeks ago, I argued in the Post that the Trump administration was ushering in a new era of re-segregation.
Now, here we are.

This is really smart by @sanders.senate.gov Go to republican districts and push voters to pressure their republican reps.

youtu.be/sZWJ1ipxHtw?... conservatives who were terrified of what George Soros would do to democracy… please discuss.
We know who the villains are in this coup. But so many heroes are showing up to oppose them, and many of them are federal employees, including judges. I give you supreme boss-hero champion Judge Ana Reyes, telling Team Trump they don't know shit and schooling them in the facts about gender and sex.
Where do you get the Special Research? Is it pre 2023? I started playing in November 2023 and I’m finding there is a lot of special research that I don’t have access to. (I’m level 50 and I’ve done all that is available to me).
Daily we're treated to news reporting that X% of Americans approve on Y when we know that public opinion has no correlation to public policy.
What people think (that they think) doesn't determine what happens. What people do does.

MAGA is against the deep state, the elite, and billionaires like George Soros whom they falsely said was running the government, but they applaud an immigrant billionaire, Musk, to basically buy the Presidency and do what he wants to benefit himself and his billionaire friends.
It's a dumb cult.
Due to the freeze on credit card use, my laboratory (in the FDA) risks losing the contents of our liquid nitrogen tanks which store INVALUABLE samples-they cannot be replaced, so they are literally priceless, and reflect about 50 years worth of research.
Y'all pick a lane. Then make a little progress in your lane each day.
Every serious, experienced organizer I know is Doing Their Thing. Instead of freaking out about each bit of bad news, we're in our lanes rapidly building dual power infrastructure and networks that don't rely on the goverment.
“The Democrats didn’t do enough on Gaza, so I withheld my vote to make a statement.”
“Well, Trump won and now he’s gonna destroy Gaza.”
“Yep. We’re paying the price for the Democrats’ incompetence.”
“‘We?’ The Gazans are paying the price, not us”
Pause.
“I needed to make a statement.”

It's all affirmative action for some of the most criminal and unqualified and also idiotic white men ever.
Dan Rather quoting @rebeccasolnit.bsky.social :
“...no alternative to persevering, and that does not require you to feel good. You can keep walking whether it’s sunny or raining. Take care of yourself and remember that taking care of something else is an important part ..."

Starting today, same-sex marriage is officially legalized in Thailand.
It’s the first country in Southeast Asia to recognize marriage equality.
Nor am I!
