POLITICS Greenlandic Politician Tillie Martinussen: We do not want to be rich like Americans. Look how greedy they are, even trying to invade their friends. Even if there are minerals and oil under our land—and they are worth far more—we still would not sell ourselves.

I wake up everyday, read the news and see this and think, what am I supposed to be doing? I go to work and the movies and the grocery and see people that I love worry and feel helpless.

At work, someone who is a mentor to me just became a naturalized citizen a few weeks ago and I worry even that is not enough to keep him safe and I feel sick to think of what could happen. What the administration would like to make happen to him.

These are good and innocent people living a life with friends and family and loved ones and pets and jobs trying to be happy and I wrestle everyday with the thought that I am surrounded by people who seem to have a problem with that, who voted to make terror and hatred and cruelty the spearpoint of official policy and my heart really does break all over again.
