"Trump wants to invade a NATO ally so we can have military bases we already have, to combat a threat that does not exist. To make matters worse, Trump is now citing his failure to win the Nobel Peace Prize as a reason for his aggression toward Greenland.
A military takeover of Greenland would blow up NATO, isolate the U.S., and dramatically strengthen Russia and China—and for what?
It’s pure idiocy."

Not to miss: Ken Klippenstein's report on a leaked DHS document, a draft of the 2026 Homeland Threat Assessment, which shows that the real target of the DHS' obsession with terrorism is you and me: it's American citizens.

“'Now he’s trying to take away the exact thing that his own family benefited from: that ability to create a life for themselves, to prosper, to build community, to have successful businesses—to live a rewarding life.' This—not 'saving' our 'dying' country, as Miller absurdly claims Trump is doing—will be Miller’s ugly legacy."

"We’re giving the last word to Miller’s cousin on his father’s side, Alisa Kasmer. Over the summer, Kasmer posted a scalding Facebook takedown of Miller that made big news. She refused all subsequent interview requests. But she agreed to talk to me for this piece."
“'We’re Jewish—we grew up knowing how hated we were just for existing,' Kasmer told me."

"It should go without saying that if immigrants were dissolving our social bonds in any sense that most normal people care about, Miller and his allies would not have to lie constantly about immigrants committing crimes, about immigrants stealing social welfare benefits, and about immigrants adopting alienating social habits like eating people’s pets."

Yet "Miller’s own ancestors were subjected to similar claims: They, too, were deemed unfit to participate in the inheritance of Western civilization that the U.S. represented at the beginning of the 20th century. Obviously history disproved this, as does Miller’s own story."

"At the core of Miller’s worldview is the idea that the immigration levels and humanitarian resettlement programs that existed under Biden posed an existential threat to American civilization, whereas those that now exist under Trump will preserve it from ruin and even outright extinction."

Part two of Sargent's series opens:
“'If you import the Third World, you become the Third World,' Stephen Miller declared as the presidential campaign heated up in 2024. “Elect Joe Biden, and America becomes the Third World.
This is one of the single most revealing quotes Miller has ever uttered."

The Dark Ideology Behind Stephen Miller's Immigration Crusade: Part II
He believes immigration threatens Western civilization itself, echoing the same xenophobia once directed at his own ancestorsGreg Sargent (The UnPopulist)
Yesterday, I posted some excerpts from a series of essays Greg Sargent has published about the dark ideology behind Stephen Miller's immigrant crusade. A link to that posting is here:

Today, Sargent has published a second, and concluding, essay in this series. I'll post the link for that part of the essay in my next posting in this thread.

"It’s sad that it feels like we are going back in time, but I am happy to see that Minnesotans are going out and speaking up. We need to speak up and be in solidarity to see change, that is the only way we can turn the tide. …
Imagine what our lives would be if we chose to do nothing? We have to fight against injustice. ...
Know that you are making a huge difference."

"David Rudovsky, a University of Pennsylvania law professor, also noted the similarities. 'I think about the civil rights movement in the South and how Southern law enforcement reacted with hoses, dogs and lynchings,' he said.
Images of Birmingham’s police dogs sinking their teeth into protesters shocked the world. The aggressive conduct of federal agents in Minneapolis has also raised alarm, particularly following the shooting death of Ms. Good."
"Ms. [Michele] Goodwin was one of several legal scholars and criminal justice experts who said the conduct of ICE agents during Operation Metro Surge, the government’s name for its immigration crackdown in Minneapolis, evoked the attacks by police officers in Birmingham, Ala., on civil rights protesters in 1963."

"They killed a woman last week. They are breaking car windows and hauling people from their cars and arresting them and releasing them without charges because no crimes had been committed. You know all this. You also know he wants to take possession of Greenland even if he has to invade the island with the United States military. He’s pulling us out of various NATO committees just because he wants to."
"This man has sent what amounts to an occupying army into Minneapolis, Minnesota. Without a warrant, ICE goons broke down the door of an elderly American citizen yesterday and removed him in handcuffs in the freezing cold wearing nothing more than a t-shirt and underwear and then returned him to his home hours later after having discovered his citizenship, which he had been telling them all along."

"'So we want a piece of ice for world protection. And they won’t give it,' Trump continued. 'We’ve never asked for anything else, and we could have kept that piece of land. And we didn’t. They have a choice. You can say yes and we will be very appreciative, or you can say no and we will remember.'”

Snapshot: The Bully in Davos
Donald Trump lied to, threatened and insulted once-steadfast European allies today, even as he insisted he would "not use force" in GreenlandSteven Beschloss (America, America)
"Let’s be clear about what damage the U.S. threats against our own allies have already done to the existing rules-based international system. America has not only abdicated its role as protector and left Europe to fend for itself, it is behaving as an aggressive superpower bent on territorial expansion."

Donald Trump vs. the World
In his Davos rant, the president lied, insulted allies, and depicted America as a hellhole.Jonathan V. Last (The Bulwark)
"a liar who frequently screwed over business partners, a convicted criminal who thinks it’s unfair if laws apply to him, and a rapist who likes taking things without consent.
None of that was remotely hidden when Americans decided to elect him a second time."
"Some call Trump’s threats against an ally 'insane' or 'mad king' behavior—and it is by traditional American values—but it fits an aspiring autocrat who called Russia’s invasion of Ukraine 'savvy' and 'genius,' an anti-democracy narcissist who sees wealth and glory for himself as a paramount national interest," (continued in /14)

A veteran journalist makes the case that Trump’s erratic, dangerous conduct now meets the constitutional threshold for removal under the Twenty-Fifth Amendment.Blue Amp Media
But for Trump's Treasury Secretary, it's unfair to quote Trump's words
"Trump himself has told us what’s going on: he’s throwing a temper tantrum over not receiving a Nobel Peace Prize — not how he put it, but that was the gist of his text to Norway’s prime minister. And there’s no reason to disbelieve him, even though Scott Bessent says that quoting Trump’s own words is a 'complete canard.'”
~ Paul Krugman
"They’ve lost such prestige. Got all—that’s why I have such respect for Maria doing what she did. She said, ‘I don’t deserve the Nobel Prize, he does.’ When she got it, they named—they said, ‘Wow that’s amazing, I thought President Trump would get it.’”
