January 27, 2026: I believe Donald Trump is interested in Greenland because of its proximity to Arctic trade routes. The U.S. already has access to these routes through Alaska, but the western side is not fully accessible. Acquiring Greenland would give the U.S. more complete access to the Arctic trade path. In the end, this is about economic interests and countries prioritizing their own benefits.
January 26, 2026: Alex Pretti’s story has stayed with me because he seemed like someone who poured genuine care into the people around him, especially through his work as an ICU nurse.

Martin Luther King Jr.’s iconic “I Have a Dream” speech was delivered on August 28, 1963, from the steps of the Lincoln Memorial during the March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom, calling for civil and economic rights and an end to racism in the United States.

A neighbor who saw what happened told local MPR news: “She was trying to turn around, and the ICE agent was in front of her car, and he pulled out a gun and put it right in — like, his midriff was on her bumper — and he reached across the hood of the car and shot her in the face like three, four times,”
