On NPR on Friday, there was a story of a 4-year-old--an American citizen--who hasn't left her house since early December, not even to play in the yard. And her 8-year-old brother recently stopped going to school, too. Their father is undocumented, and the family doesn't want to risk him being taken.

AOC: "An ICE officer had violently pushed a woman to the ground and he had come over to help get her up and that is what precipitated this incident that very quickly led to an execution in the streets. What we are seeing here is a momentous pivotal moment for the United States."

The killing of Alex Pretti is a heartbreaking tragedy. It should also be a wake-up call to every American, regardless of party, that many of our core values as a nation are increasingly under assault.

Statement from Michael and Susan Pretti.

“Please get the truth out about our son.”

Alex Pretti, a VA ICU nurse, was killed by ICE while trying to protect a woman being assaulted.

We will see countries for which the democracy is more important then football competition. Perhaps the easiest would be to find 11 alternative stadiums around the world.

I will not travel to the US of course

Incredible

Same method than by Iranian police, « people keep protesting » said the big beautiful president ?

ICE has been trained by Iran police!

I thought a peace board was in charge. With the one billion entrance bill and a big beautiful board president and his son in law, the problem should have been solved in 2 min, no ?

‘Weaponizing’ $10 Trillion of US Assets Is Tough Ask for Europe As Europe considers how best to respond to US President Donald Trump’s latest threats over Greenland’s sovereignty, there’s one extreme potential counter measure that’s fueling debate among investors.

Top Catholic cardinals say U.S. foreign policy raises moral questions Three senior archbishops said recent events raise “basic questions about the use of military force” and have put America’s moral role “under examination.”

Echoing concerns of Pope Leo XIV over a new era of unilateralism and warfare, three highest-ranking archbishops said “the moral foundation for America’s actions in the world” has been thrown into question by a resurgence in the use of military force.

The big problem is that
Putin : « Ukraine invasion is a question national security »
#ubu (Trump): «  we need to invade Greenland, it is a question of national security »

Meanwhile

One misconception that needs to end is that we can't be living under fascism because we aren't at the end point of the Nazi regime. But everything has a start. This is an important thread. Please read.

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”
