Finally, the United States is waking up 🚨
Representative Ted Lieu just drew a crystal clear red line, and it matters more than most people seem to realize.
“If any military member, from the generals on down, participates in using force against Greenland without congressional authorization, they are following illegal orders.”
That is not rhetoric. That is the law. And he is putting everyone on notice.
This is how a constitutional system is supposed to work. Civilian control. Congressional authority. No freelance militarism because a president feels impulsive or humiliated or bored. Orders that violate the Constitution are not orders. They are illegal commands, and obedience is not a defense.
What I like here is the timing. This is not said after the damage is done. It is a preemptive warning. A flare shot into the sky saying: think very carefully before you cross this line.
For years, too many people in Washington treated norms as vibes and laws as suggestions. This is a reminder that the system still has teeth if people are willing to use them. And that responsibility does not magically disappear when you put on a uniform.
More of this please. Clear boundaries. Plain language. Zero ambiguity. That is how you stop bad ideas before they turn into irreversible disasters.
Do you remember this kid from 19 years ago? A 10-year-old named Jonathon Ware became an internet legend during a live news broadcast at the Portland Rose Festival in Portland, Oregon, USA.
Jonathon was wearing black and white “zombie” face paint when a reporter asked for his opinion on the makeup. Instead of answering, he stared blankly into the camera and simply stated: “I like turtles.”
The completely unrelated response made him a global sensation known as “The Zombie Kid.” Today, Jonathon is in his late 20s. He recently returned to the spotlight to help promote the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem movie, where he wore the iconic face paint once again to recreate his famous line.
Rolling Stone Magazine: ''Prince is an average guitar player.''
Prince: "Hold my beer...''
George Harrison poured his heart into writing it. Eric Clapton gave it that unforgettable solo.
And then Prince stepped up and played it like the song was his own soul crying through the guitar.

Holy shit! This is what I'm talkin' about. David Clayton is running for congress in North Carolina's District 5 against MAGA Republican Virginia Foxx — and this is how he introduced himself. 🙌💪👏✊️👇

ICE is attempting to take children out of schools and daycares, knowing full well that even American kids won't have identification.
On Facebook, a mother in Chicago shared her own experience today and asked others to share, too. Pasted below, link at the end:
Yesterday started like many others. Craig made us coffee. My neighbor offered us some freshly baked scones. The girls ate their breakfast, excited for a three day weekend and their daddy's birthday.
At 8:15 AM, we learned that an elderly man had been tackled by border control in a nearby alley.
At 8:30 AM, ICE detained two landscapers near Foster and Lincoln, a few blocks away. The entire neighborhood came out to help by recording and protesting, one of whom happened to be a WGN producer. She was violently abducted.
ICE slammed into a neighbor's parked car during their rapid getaway and kept right on driving.
At 9 AM, our school principal initiated our rapid response network and hundreds of parent, staff, and communities mobilized to patrol our school in support of our at-risk families and to allow our children to safely play and learn outdoors.
At 10 AM, ICE arrived fully alarmed near Ravenswood Elementary, a local public school where many of our friends go and teach. I spoke directly with my dear friend who teaches there immediately after it happened and, as you can imagine, she was terrified and traumatized.
At 10:15, ICE was reported outside a local daycare, where many of our neighborhood kiddos go.
As the day unfolded, at least 8 of our neighbors were detained, and there were dozens of confirmed ICE sightings outside local schools and businesses. Craig and I spent a collective 10 hours patrolling our daughters' school. Several schools went into lockdown, following the same protocol response we’d follow for an active shooter.
Elsewhere in the city, in the last 2-3 weeks ICE has:
-killed a young father after he dropped his son off at school, the agent sustained minor injuries
-shot a woman 5 times and tried to blame her for provocation (body cam footage proves otherwise)
-shot a priest in the head with a pepper bullet while he prayed at a protest
-teargassed dozens of Chicago police
-teargassed reporters and non-violent protestors
-stormed a building with helicopters, arresting (among criminals) US citizens who had done nothing wrong, including zip tying 4 children, torn from their beds in the middle of the night barely clothed and not allowed to dress
-detained a family while their children played in the fountains at Millennium Park
-handcuffed an alderperson inside a hospital
-Stormed through suburban parks to try and catch nannies walking babies
-they are masked, wear no names, ‘arrest’ with no warrants, and will kill you if you try to fight back
-71 percent of the people taken have no criminal history, most are just trying to work through the slow process of naturalization
As I write this, I’m seeing live footage of them raiding Home Depot and receiving reports of them detaining 18 Uber drivers at O’Hare.
If you're outside of Chicago and weren't aware of what's happening here, now you know. This is not okay. Nobody should be pretending this is okay.
Chicago is my favorite place in the whole world. I have lived here for 28 years and I have never felt so profoundly unsafe until this week. And it’s not because of gangs or crime or unhoused people or drug users or migrants.
I feel unsafe because there are militarized units with loaded guns in the school parking lots of my district, kidnapping my neighbors.
Now please enjoy my family photo, taken last night while trying to salvage Craig's birthday and preserve normalcy for our children at one of this city's incredible restaurants.
I made this post public so that it can be shared. 
I will also post footage and media links in my comments. https://t.co/YXxmeyE3ML
