It’s been another week where there’s too much news. In the wake of ICE’s murder of Rene Good, the regime has increased its pressure on Minneapolis, cracking down on protesters who disapprove of government agents shooting people in the streets. Is Trump about to invoke the Insurrection Act or not? Simultaneously, we are about to enter a trade war with our NATO allies over Trump’s effort to coerce Denmark into selling Greenland. Meanwhile, the Supreme Court seems likely to rule soon on the legality of Trump’s tariffs. And it’s tempting to ignore stories of equal outrage but less consequence, like Trump strong-arming María Corina Machado into giving him her Nobel Prize medal.
And oh, by the way, happy MLK Day! I might have liked to do a calm reflection on Dr. King’s place in history — that’s what a holiday like this is for, after all. But history is moving forward too fast. Who can afford the time to look back?
So anyway, the featured post will examine the Greenland situation, and I’ll leave the other topics for the weekly summary. The Greenland post should be out before 10 EST, and I’ll try to get the summary done by noon.
