When I took my post as secretary general of the Council of Europe just over a year ago,
I did not think that I would ever have to write about the possibility of the United States taking military action against a member state.
Yet here we are.
Donald Trump has vowed to make Greenland
— a semiautonomous territory of Denmark, which is a member of the Council of Europe and a founding member of NATO

International law is either universal or meaningless. Greenland will show which one we choose.

"ICE has been using “brake-checks” as pretense for detaining observers. Another observer car pulls up and my city council member steps out. He strides up to the Wagoneer, blowing his whistle. (Absolutely everyone is confronting ICE—I’ve encountered my old boss from the local cafe scuffling with agents, too.) Someone on the street starts filming and the bicyclist we know in the chat as “small fry” shouts at the agents to get out of Minneapolis."

ICE vs. Everyone | Erin West
What we’re doing now is this: The trainings have evolved into street medic workshops on protecting yourself from chemical weapons and lessons on digital security; there’s a meet-up to sew reinforced umbrellas as shields from mace and a collection spot for barricade materials. And this is what it’s like: Sometimes you’re chasing ICE off your street, maybe you’re buying groceries for a family, but a lot of the time you’re on your phone.
