U.S. Sen. Thom Tillis, a North Carolina Republican, forcefully rebutted comments from one of the top officials in the Trump administration about a potential American takeover of Greenland, an idea that has been floated since Trump returned to the Oval Office.

Tillis, who is not running for another term, called comments made by Deputy White House Chief of Staff Stephen Miller “insane” and “amateur hour.” In an interview, Miller said “the formal position of the US government” is that Greenland should be part of the United States.

Greenland is part of Denmark, a European ally and fellow member of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO). Tillis is a staunch defender of the NATO alliance.

“By turning around and making insane comments about how it is our right to have territory owned by the, the kingdom of Denmark, folks, amateur hour is over,” Tillis said from the Senate floor Tuesday. “You don't speak on behalf of this U.S. senator or the Congress.”

Today, January 7, ICE officers shot and killed Renee Nicole Good, a legal observer, during a raid in Minneapolis, Minnesota. Video footage directly contradicts ICE’s claim that the shooting was carried out in self-defense. The footage also shows ICE agents denying Renee Nicole Good access to medical care. An off-duty doctor repeatedly attempted to render aid and was blocked by ICE agents, who at one point drew their weapons on him.

In response, demonstrations are taking place across North Carolina, organized by PSL. We demand the immediate removal of ICE from our neighborhoods and an end to the kidnapping, terrorization, and killing of our neighbors under the guise of immigration enforcement.

Below are details for actions being held in Asheville, Charlotte, Durham, and Fayetteville. This is an evolving list, and additional demonstrations may be added as the evening progresses.

The ruling, a win for concentrated animal feeding operations, has raised concerns among environmentalists about groundwater and soil pollution from waste lagoons and spray systems that use manure as fertilizer.

The North Carolina Supreme Court has ruled in favor of a powerful agribusiness group, concluding that state regulators improperly included three specific conditions in general permits that govern industrialized hog, cattle and poultry operations.

Seems like there should be a better/easier way to cross post something like this from Mastodon to Lemmy? If there is please let me know 🙏
