Trump's been whiffling about leaving NATO for years. I wonder if this change in public statements is a result of their obvious miscalculation over the strength of feeling about Greenland coming from Europe.

I watched the "lowlights". It was a shocking performance from Bondi.

Sir Ian McKellen performing a monologue from Shakespeare’s Sir Thomas More on the Stephen Colbert show. Never have I heard this monologue performed with such a keen sense of prescience. Nor have I ever been in this exact historical moment.TY Sir Ian, for reaching us once again.

Remember her name: Aliya Rahman

Her testimony is everything and it deserves to be heard, by everyone. Decide for yourself.

It’s powerful. It’s gut-wrenching. And no one should have to survive what she did.

ICE MUST GO‼️

Did you know that Sony Music Entertainment will file a copyright "notification"(not a strike) on behalf of a South African music site (Select Museik) which specialises in Afrikaaners music if your video has the pipes and drums playing "Scotland The Brave"?

Yesterday, five-year-old Liam and his dad Adrian were released from Dilley detention center. I picked them up last night and escorted them back to Minnesota this morning.

Liam is now home. With his hat and his backpack.

DHS doesn’t even bother trying to lie well. The man whose skull was shattered told the hospital he’d been struck by ICE officers, an ICE officer told hospital staff the guy β€œgot his sh*t rocked,” then when it became clear how badly he was injured, they claimed he deliberately ran into a wall.

Scots law has always been separate and distinct from English law. Scotland has her own Parliament, law enforcement and courts. US seemed to begin extradition moves on Monday then suddenly withdrew them and now we know why. US Coastguard has no jurisdiction in Scottish waters.

US remove tanker captain from UK waters as crew set to leave Scotland The US Department of Justice told Scottish authorities that the skipper and his first officer were on board the US Coast Guard vessel Munro.

For those confused about why the Scots are angry about this, the vessel was in Scottish territorial waters and their was an interim interdict from the Court of Session forbidding the removal from Scottish jurisdiction. The US ignored it. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

NEW: In a court hearing for a TRO against the feds in Minneapolis, the plaintiffs just said one of their exhibits contains a recording of a federal agent saying "Well, this person is gonna have a hard time traveling from now on" after taking a photo of an ICE observer's license plate. 1/

Have you pushed back against his lies and pointed out that the only nation to invoke NATO Article 5 was the US post-9/11 and that NATO immediately responded? Did you bring up the Canadian NATO troops bombed by US forces? How about the Danes who lost about the same number per capita as the US?

ICE not allowing agents to have unsupervised copies of ICE policies or to take any notes is an admission by ICE that it knows the policies are illegal.

Independent autopsy in ICE shooting death of Renee Good released by law firm in civil investigation The results of an independent autopsy for Renee Good have been released as part of a law firm's civil investigation, two weeks after she was shot and killed by a federal agent in Minneapolis.

I've been waiting for this.

Independent autopsy of Renee Good is in. It's strong evidence against Agent Ross, given what it means about the second or third shot through the left-side window.

It's the second and third shots that make the easiest criminal case of a willful killing.

Chamberlain's Munich agreement lasted 11 months before Poland was invaded.The EU-US trade deal lasted 5.5 months. That's the thing with dictators - they can't be trusted. No deal, treaty or alliance means anything to a malignant narcissist. Everything they do is self-serving and without honour.
