Walz: "What's happening in MN defies belief. News reports simply don't do justice to the level of chaos & disruption & trauma the federal govt is raining down... This long ago stopped being a matter of immigration enforcement. Instead, it's a campaign of organized brutality against the people of MN"

Frost: For so long, the right wing has held up patriotism as a vibe, as an aesthetic. But patriotism is more than bald eagles and flags and beer. Patriotism is about loving the people who live in the damn country — every single one of them.

Trump is looking for a reason to declare a state of emergency for some time now. The razzia’s are the perfect way to a provocation to turn into violence. That’s when he will strike and have a reason to cancel the midterms and draw all power to himself. SCOTUS by his side. Everything is prepared

Europe should prepare to a stand off with the USA under psychopath Trump and his criminal gang. Europe should build an independent military force that has nuclear capabilities. Europe should be severe on Trumps unhinged behaviour. He’s so unpredictable and dangerous that any measure counts. Prepare!

Trump has no idea of what the dynamics on the ground in Nigeria are. The principal of ‘do no harm’ has been violated and this attack on armed jihadis a complete failure. He starts a holy war to defend Christians but harms peaceful moslims. And Christians. This attack was only for the glory of Trump

Most republicans support the use of military force on other sovereign countries in the western hemisphere as preemptive measures against communism. It justifies US aggression. If Trumps war rhetoric continues pressuring and coercing whoever he wants he will lose all cooperation and allegiances.
