At this point cannot resist pointing out that Trump is watching too
many episodes of Monty Python as his press conferences are a constant
rendition on the "Now for something entirely different. More of the
same"

TRUMP TEXTS NORWAY'S PM LINKING NOBEL SNUB TO GREENLAND  --  CARTOON
AND COMMENTARY BY ANN TELNAES 

It's all about him, him, him

I had to check several news sources- The Guardian
[[link removed]],
Wall Street Journal
[[link removed]],
New York Times
[[link removed]],
Reuters
[[link removed]],
even the Washington Post
[[link removed]]
before I was convinced this wasn’t a hoax.

The issue is beyond the 25th Amendment. The American people have voted
in a sick man without any humility or moral compass to the office of
presidency.

INVASION  --  CARTOON AND COMMENTARY BY ROB ROGERS 

_Trump said he wants to invade Greenland because he felt snubbed by
Norway over the Peace Prize. If anyone else said this they would be
escorted to a mental health facility. Sadly, it's just another day in
Trump world._

"EXTRACT"? Call it what it was a KIDNAPPING! Words matter.

RE: HOW DID MLK JR. BECOME A SOCIALIST?

(Posting on xxxxxx Labor
[[link removed]]) 

Three months before his assassination's in 1968, Dr. King gave a
speech at a large event organized by the magazine FREEDOMWAYS to
commemorate the centenary of the birth of Dr  W.E.B. Du Bois.  In
talking about Dr. Du Bois, who had publicly joined the Communist Party
(CPUSA),   King said   "It is time to cease muting the fact that Dr.
Du Bois was a genius and chose to be a Communist. Our irrational
obsessive anti-communism has led us into too many quagmires to be
retained as if it were a mode of scientific thinking."

Obsessive anti-communism is apparently what Eric Blanc was
demonstrating when he wrote his article about how Dr. King came to
socialism leaving out the names of Jack O'Dell, Harry Belafonte
 Lorraine Hansberry and others or the connection of Rosa Parks and
her husband to the Communist led movement to free the Scottsboro Nine,
or the poet Don West as a co-founder of the Highlander Center.

One can't attempt to write the history of all or part the Civil Rights
movement and downplay, ignore or leave out the CPUSA or individual
communists or those close the party.  Dr. King was neither a
communist or a marxist but he understood, without hesitation, the
implications of Du Bois  choosing to join the CPUSA. Professor Blanc
would do well to follow Dr. King's thinking.

RE: THE FED IS QUIETLY BAILING OUT WALL STREET 

This is why the stock market is in record territory: the bankers know
that the government will bail them out.  They've already given them
$420BILLION while they jack the cost of health insurance.

FROZEN DYSTOPIA  --  CARTOON AND COMMENTARY BY JEN SORENSEN 

More Perfect Union has a short video
[[link removed]] that provides a decent
overview of the real motivations behind the Trump administration’s
interest in Greenland: rare earth minerals coveted by the tech
industry, a longtime fixation on the territory by Trump ally Ron
Lauder (heir to the Estee Lauder fortune), oil, and the radical
libertarian fantasy of creating a “network state” city there. This
last item has not received much national media attention, possibly
because it seems so kooky on the surface, but some very powerful
interests are serious about this. This TechCrunch article
[[link removed]]
lays out a CEO’s vision of building a prototype of Elon Musk’s
Mars outpost here on Earth.

MINNESOTA IMMIGRANT RIGHTS ACTION COMMITTEE
[[link removed]] - helps get groceries and
necessities to families forced into hiding

ICE attacks in the Twin Cities have forced many immigrant families
into hiding! This keeps individuals away from their work, and children
away from school.  Immigrant families and businesses are devastated.

MIRAC is fund-raising to support our beloved Latino and Somali
immigrant communities during this time of fear and intimidation from
federal officials.  We are also leading a movement to say No More
Deportations and to say No More Collaboration between local public
safety officials and federal ICE officers.

MIRAC Education Fund is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization and so all
donations are tax exempt.  

MIRAC is an all-volunteer grassroots organization that has mobilized
and educated the immigrant community and their allies since 2006. We
believe that no one is illegal and center our work under this belief.
We are led by predominantly BIPOC and immigrant community members. For
over 19 years, MIRAC has mobilized community members to take action
through community education, protests, marches, and demonstrations.
