Retired Mainer. Just taking it a day at a time, trying to cut thru the noise and stay positive in these dark days. Mildly obsessive about Wilco and UConn basketball (men & women). Happily married / dog owner / father of 5 + 2 step-kids - all grown up.

So who ran on the field that NBC didn’t want us to see?

Sad but true - it took Renee Good’s murder to really ratchet up the volume of the opposition and the increase in support to defund / abolish ICE

In solidarity with today's ICE OUT OF MINNESOTA blackout, MinnMax is donating $1 to the Immigrant Law Center of Minnesota for every share of this Bluesky post for the next hour.

Pew Research Institute (2023):

β€’ Red State Texas has about 2.1 million undocumented immigrants

β€’ Red State Florida has 1.6 M undocumented immigrants

β€’ Blue State Minnesota has 130,000.

And yet only Minnesota is being occupied by masked thugs over "immigration."

It's *not* about immigration.

Fever Beach by Carl Hiassen is very funny and satirizes in a biting tone some of the insanity

If he is β€œtroubled”, he should go hang out with Susan Collins. They can hand wring together.

I too will read a paragraph over and over, but I chalk that up to old age and / or a short attention span

If you would have told me a year ago that MTG would become a voice of reason……

How can we, in good conscience, not tune in and miss out on those pillars of the entertainment world?

Surprised that Russell Brand isn’t on the list 🀣🀣🀣

Premier of Greenland πŸ‡¬πŸ‡± statement this morning;

This morning, I am both saddened and grateful πŸ‡¬πŸ‡±

Saddened, because during a press conference last night, the President of the United States once again expressed a desire to take over Greenland. With such statements, our country is reduced to a question of security and power. That is not how we see ourselves, and it is not how Greenland can or should be spoken about.

We are a people with a long history, a strong culture, and a vibrant democracy. We are a country with responsibility for our own territory and for our own future. Our territorial integrity and our right to self-determination are firmly anchored in international law and cannot simply be ignored.

That is also why I am grateful.

Thank you to everyone here at home for the clear support and unity that has been shown. The calmness and dignity with which you have met this situation send a strong signal of a people who stand firm in their values and in their responsibility.

I would also like to thank heads of government and partners around the world who have clearly and unequivocally expressed their respect for Greenland, for our democratic institutions, and for the fundamental principles of international law. That support confirms that we here at home do not stand alone.

Once again: Greenland is our country. Decisions are made here. And I will at all times fight for our freedom and our right to decide for ourselves and to shape our own future.

For now, I hope that the peace of Christmas can settle over us all.
Merry Christmas

the Premier of Greenland, at Christmas time, forced to acknowledge that Trump is making the same threats Putin used to make regarding Ukraine and hoping against hope that this time will be different -
