Minnesota should investigate this shooting and prosecute the officer. The federal government will be totally unreliable in this regard because the head of every agency is a Trump toady. There needs to be justice for Renee Good.
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.
Brian Schatz: "This is not about money. There is enough money to bail out Argentina with $20b. There is enough money to purchase a brand new aircraft for $173m for Noem. There is enough money to renovate the WH ballroom. What there isn't enough money for under this Republican government is you."
Genuinely might have to get this image of Royal Portrush framed. The light shining on the 5th green with the dunes behind and locals walking on the beach. Bliss.

CEO of Sticker Mule btw.
I know it’s no secret that the company is shit, but lots of furries still use them for ordering custom stickers.
I highly recommend StickerApp if you want an alternative :)
