“There is no strategic vacuum in the Arctic that coercion can fill, and no military problem that acquiring Greenland would solve. … The push to “acquire” Greenland is not about security. It is about Donald Trump—his ego, his fixation on dominance, and his appetite for spectacle. …public resistance is growing, shaped by a lesson history teaches repeatedly and unforgivingly: appeasement does not work. You cannot meet a fascist halfway.”

“Greenlanders feel for the people of Minnesota. And they in no way want to become Minnesota. They would rather die fighting, than to give up their freedoms, culture and homeland than become Minnesota.”

Huge turnout against #ICE and #DHS, #protest/ #generalStrike in #Minneapolis #Minnesota yesterday

International observers and even some domestic observers:

You may ask why Americans aren't doing more

And I agree

But much is being done that you don't see because a lot going on is purposefully deemphasized in the #USA #newsmedia

Btw, this was in -10 F (-20 C) weather

"100 #clergy members were arrested while protesting federal #immigration enforcement outside #Minneapolis -St Paul international airport today... by members of the airport staff and local law enforcement...

the #faith leaders “prayed together, sang songs and hymns..." in an effort to call on airlines companies – particularly #Delta and Signature Aviation – to “stand with Minnesotans in calling for #ICE to immediately end its surge in the state”.

"Thousands march through Minneapolis as anti-ICE protests continue

We’re getting more pictures from the demonstration in downtown #Minneapolis today, where hundreds of shops, restaurants and businesses shut their doors in solidarity with those protesting the federal immigration surge throughout #Minnesota.

"A large group of protesters gathered outside Terminal 1 at Minneapolis–St. Paul International Airport this morning. They alleged a connection between the airport, Delta Air Lines and ICE’s enforcement actions in Minnesota.

The demonstrators marched in a circle outside in the bone-chilling cold.

Delta has not immediately responded to a request for comment.

"Minneapolis was home to a landmark #GeneralStrike nearly 100 years ago...

The #strike caused #Minneapolis’ industrial area... to shut down.

#police shot 67 picketing workers — most of them were shot in the back — and 2 were killed. 100,000 people attended the funeral procession for one of the strikers. The governor dispatched the #NationalGuard, and the [business owners] eventually agreed to the union’s demands, making the general strike a success.

"A #GeneralStrike is a work stoppage across multiple industries. The overall goal is to pause #economic activity to compel change. General strikes are uncommon in modern #America but were once a staple of #protest politics and are still frequently employed in #Europe.

Citing the killing of #ReneeGood by federal agent Jonathan Ross, the “ICE Out” day organizers say the general strike is intended to be a day of nonviolent reflection."

"Friday may be the largest worker action in the state’s history, said Christa Sarrack, president of a labor union... Ms. Sarrack said some of the #union members’ employers had decided to close for the day, while others were allowing employees to not come to work.

“We cannot simply sit by and allow this to continue,” Ms. Sarrack said. “We must use every tool that we have to fight back.”"

"Charles Booker, a #Democratic candidate for the US Senate in #Kentucky, praised the organizations for showing solidarity in the face of a crackdown by federal agents.

“This is what it takes,” he wrote in a social media post. “It is time for the people to stand and take back our power. We need a general strike! Love and solidarity to our family in Minneapolis who are refusing to go along with a status quo... More of this!”"

"Right now feels impossible, and unfortunately there's a lot of impossible still to come. There's no fast fix, no one easy trick to defeating #fascism.

But.

But honestly I've never felt more hopeful that we actually have what it takes. That we can do the impossible, even when it seems insurmountable.

Because what it takes is us."

"Every single of one them has had abductions happen on their block, to their neighbors, right in front of them. Their kids have seen their classrooms empty out, remote school instituted like there's another plague. They all know the smell of tear gas, the burn of pepper in the air. One described the number of abandoned cars, windows smashed. Another described a neighbor screaming out. All of them talk of helicopters, the endless helicopters."

"We use words like “police state.” Then we see it happen. To watch is not the same as to experience it, of course. Of being afraid to leave your house. Or having a classmate, co-worker, or family member disappear. But the images make it more real. It removes any illusion that it could not happen here. It is happening here. We see it happening here, if we are willing to look."

In a few hours #minneapolis will show us how it’s done, just like in 2020. There hasn’t been a #generalstrike in the #usa since 1940. We will know how to general strike like #french by the time they are done. #news #Politics


“Carney understands something…deeply dangerous to authoritarians: reality matters. Not vibes or threats. … Not nostalgia for a world that no longer exists. Reality. And reality, as Carney laid out…, is this: The old U.S.-led, rules-based global order is over. Not because the world abandoned it — but because America did.”

"The President won’t rule out military action against #NATO allies because he didn’t get a peace prize.

👉 Because he didn’t get a *peace* prize. Peace. Prize.👈

"But here’s what’s actually happening: basically everyone in a position to do something about this is pretending everything is fine.

The normalization machine is working overtime.

... A decade ago, as a political rival, Ted Cruz once warned that we’d wake up one day to find a President Trump had nuked #Denmark. And yet now he’s actively supporting Trump’s lunacy."
