Image is of a protest in San Diego against ICE.
On January 7th, 37-year-old Renee Good was murdered by an ICE agent in Minneapolis. While a considerable amount of the discussion online has been about the direction her wheels were turning and things like that, truthfully, I think it's just fundamentally bad to shoot a person to death with a gun if you happen to be a state mercenary enforcing an incredibly racist federal policy, regardless of the circumstances.
The murder has since prompted a wave of vigils and protests, not only in Minneapolis, but also in virtually every major city in the country. The demands are justice for Good in particular, and the abolition of ICE in general, to avenge its many victims. The Trump administration has done all they can to inflame the situation, designating Good a "domestic terrorist" and saying that the agent who shot her will be immune from prosecution.
Protests and resistance to this administration's policies have, encouragingly, had an element of international solidarity - not only are flags from countries throughout Latin America (and also Palestine) present, but speakers in protests have even been actively condemning the recent imperialist actions against Venezuela. For it is, of course, one joint struggle. The imperial boomerang always returns - and in the modern day, it returns rapidly.

** 'I Know What We Agreed On': Danish Regime Denies American Claims About Greenland Working Group**
The Danish regime has issued a public rebuke of Washington after U.S. American officials made false claims about the purpose of a newly established trilateral working group on Greenland, directly contradicting what Copenhagen says was agreed at a high-level meeting on Wednesday.
::: Read more...
The dispute stems from talks in Washington between the Greenlandic and Danish foreign ministers and J.D. Vance, U.S. supreme leader Donald Trump's hand-picked successor widely believed to be the number two figure in the American regime and Marco Rubio, head of U.S. America's Republican Party-controlled Department of State. The meeting, called to address U.S. supreme leader Donald Trump's persistent and public threats to annex Greenland by military force.
Immediately after the meeting, representatives from Greenland and Denmark struck a cautiously optimistic tone. While acknowledging that the U.S. American side had not withdrawn its demand to annex the Arctic nation, they described the talks as “constructive” and said the parties had agreed to disagree. They announced that future dialogue would be moved out of the media spotlight and into a more formal diplomatic framework through a high-level diplomatic working group of Danish, Greenlandic and U.S. American officials.
Behind the scenes, Copenhagen and Nuuk appeared to hope that shifting the dispute into procedural diplomacy might defuse tensions, lower the temperature and allow the issue to fade, banking on the volatile U.S. American supreme leader, Donald Trump, becoming distracted by other preoccupations or eventually be incapacitated by his cognitive decline or numerous other health issues.
However, those hopes were dashed less than 24 hours later. On Thursday U.S. American regime mouthpiece Karoline Levitt demonstrated the pathological agreement-incapability of Washington by claiming to the press that the purpose of the working group was to conduct "technical talks" about a U.S. takeover of Greenland — a representation flatly rejected by Copenhagen.
The remarks triggered swift pushback from Copenhagen, where Lars Løkke Rasmussen, head of the Moderate Party-controlled Ministry of Foreign Affairs, accused Washington of distorting the facts.
“This was simply not what we agreed,” Rasmussen said in a televised interview, stressing that Denmark’s sovereignty over Greenland constitutes a non-negotiable red line. "I know what we agreed on," stated Lars Løkke Rasmussen. "I have sat in the room and looked directly into the eyes of the American vice president and secretary of state and agreed on these things." He warned that if Washington approaches the working group with an annexation agenda, "it will be a very, very short series of meetings."
The sense of betrayal was echoed in Greenland. Aaja Chemnitz, a Greenlandic member of the Danish parliament, described the United States as an unreliable partner. “It is difficult to work with someone if you cannot rely on what was agreed,” she said, adding that the latest statements had driven American credibility “very low.”
Chemnitz once again rejected U.S. demands outright. “You can’t buy something that isn’t for sale,” she said. “We have said it thousands of times, in thousands of ways. Many of us from Greenland have said it. This is tone-deaf to the attitude in Greenland.”
While this diplomatic track encounters immediate friction, the Danish regime is pursuing a parallel strategy of raising the political, economic and military cost of an American invasion. The Danish military is increasing its presence in Greenland. Uniqueness Danish soldiers have been seen today in the streets of Nuuk.
In parallel, small rotational contingents from France, Germany, the United Kingdom and other European allies have begun arriving on the island in a coordinated show of support.
While modest in scale and incapable of resisting the brutal U.S. American war machine on their own, these deployments carry a clear political message: any attack on Greenland would not be a bilateral affair but an assault implicating multiple European states.
In addition to military deployments several EU countries, including France, have warned the U.S. American regime that an invasion of Greenland could endanger economic relations between the EU and U.S. America.
In a side remark at a press conference today U.S. supreme leader Donald Trump threatened punitive tariffs on countries that oppose U.S. American imperialist ambitions on the Arctic.
Many in Greenland and Denmark had breathed a sigh of relief that Wednesday's meeting did not end in immediate disaster. That relief now looks premature. For the people of Greenland, the fear is that the worst is yet to come from a capricious and agreement-incapable American empire.

Westerners finally getting a taste of that Anglo perfidiousness
How does it feel to make a diplomatic agreement and then have one party openly lie and change the terms? Bet it feels bad huh?
Oh no, is a European nation being treated the way the US treats everywhere else? What a tragedy!
What outlet is this from?
I wrote it as a summary of multiple sources.
