Splinter: Democrats, Shut Down DHS This Week. You Won't Get This Chance Again. Don't run from the blame for shutting down DHS. Embrace the popularity of reforming a department Americans believe is out of control.

If you strip out the adjectives and whatnot this is a sober and realistic account of the steps needed to rebuild the country. This is the roadmap to fixing shit and he calls out the reality of the moment with too many weak people in power not willing to stand up.

Four Oglala detainees located, three still in ICE custody - ICT The four Lakota detainees were reportedly sent to a former concentration camp used during the Dakota Wars

This is surreal. 4 Oglala Lakota men kidnapped by ICE in Minneapolis have finally been located. One of them was released but the other 3 are being held at Fort Snelling, a former concentration camp used to imprison Native people incl. the Dakota 38 during Dakota Wars.

The struggle of our day is no longer about Democrats versus Republicans or left versus right.

The choice right now is democracy or dictatorship.

Everyone must choose which side they’re on.

"Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed."

US will take Greenland the ‘hard way’ if it can’t do it the ‘easy way,’ Trump says | CNN Politics President Donald Trump continued his threats towards Greenland on Friday, as he insisted that if the United States did not act Russia or China would occupy it in the future.

I want the world to know how ashamed I am. This is not what Americans want.

I recognize Greenland's sovereignty and their right to remain independent.

If Greenland was ever threatened, the real America would show up to support them and leave when it's over. That's what real allies do.

I'm sorry.

An Exceptional Failure of Democratic Accountability: How American Institutions Protected Power While Global Democracies Upheld Justice How Elite Deference Eroded America's Rule of Law, Defying the Global Norm.

The aftermath of Jan 6 is a story of power protecting power and a deep-seated reluctance to holding elites accountable.

America has constructed two justice systems: one offering extraordinary leniency for the elite, the other operating with swift severity for the disadvantaged.

We’re going to go on a rant for a minute, and yes we’re bringing some history with us. Back in 1755, Benjamin Franklin wrote words that still echo today: “Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety.”

This is how our government has been corrupted:

1) Donors give huge sums to elect politicians to office.
2) Elected officials rewrite the rules in the donors' favor.
3) Donors make a huge profit.
4) Repeat.

For the sake of democracy, we must get Big Money out of politics.

It continues to be fascinating how one white man shooting another white man brings attention to what hundreds of thousands of people advocating on this issue decades could not. #threebullets
