Hi. In today's episode of Even More News Katy, Cody, and Jonathan talk about how miffed Trump is about not getting a peace prize, so miffed that he wants our allies to give him Greenland, or else. They also discuss how DHS Secretary Kristi Noem is "subtly" suggesting that people be prepared to show proof of citizenship to authorities on the street, and so much more.

Best socials comment I've come across so far this week: "This is the stupidest timeline since yesterday." 🤦

I am Danish. It has been legitimately scary having America threaten the sovereignty of Greenland. My country has a shameful imperialist past with Greenland. We forcibly changed Greenlandic culture and made their country economically dependent on Denmark. Only recently did we finally start on a thoughtful path towards Greenlandic independence, but now the big American bully comes in from the side and shouts threats. The lack of cultural understanding to even suggest imperialism again to the Greenlandic people, is so incredibly offensive it is hard to explain. Fun fact. The full american military has about 40 personnel per citizen of Greenland.

I agree with Katy that we don't need to make fun of peoples' appearances even when they are cruel and awful inside... which is why I never liked all the hate Ted Cruz got for his looks. He isn't the best example of us, but I can recognize the Cuban features in his face...I know people that look like him... and I'm Cuban... so when it was really popular to make fun of his appearance (which you all did in this episode, so I guess it is still in), I felt othered by that. Just thought I'd mention it.

I agree with Katy re: ridiculing women’s appearances. While it can *feel* okay because they’re evil people doing evil things, people too often use targets that are deemed bad enough to engage in “acceptable” misogyny. It’s been that way for ages, and isn’t okay.

I understand Katy's point re it feels weird that only women are being torn apart for their looks, but also it is absolutley cult behaviour that all the front facing in the women in that administration are demonstrably having matching comsmetic surgery. It's some NXIVM shit, it's very very creepy. And it's not like they went for a nip and tuck, there's clearly very similar procedures being done and some of the point of what would look like dysmorphia if it was a normal person in day to day life. We can comment about the unfairness of it being highlighted only in women but I think we should also be asking why this is being done/demanded of them when Millar looks like someone who couldn't afford a black suit for a funeral, Trump clearly wears lifts, there are not the same expectations for the guys (yes we know why but we should make them say it).

Total support to Kathy's point about criticizing looks. If these women want to look however they want that's their business. Plenty of ground to criticize their actions.

As a resident of the Minneapolis area (raised in St. Louis Park, where I now live again, and over 15 years living in Minneapolis proper), I say if Trump invokes the Insurrection Act, then we should show them what an insurrection really is. Make J6 look like amateur hour.

Fucking LOVE all these comments supporting Katie’s note about ridiculing Maga women for the Mar-a-Lago look. I think a lot of well meaning people lose sight of the real issue – the pressure that women feel to constantly look younger and more worked on – because they’re focusing on the aesthetic issue. And yeah, the look is so absurd and hyperbolic (i’m aware of the irony of being a middle-aged to punk rocker with shit like leopard print in lavender all over my scalp, so don’t bother, pointing that out), but it’s good praxis to check well meaning people when they do that, to try anc get them to really think about it.

Attacking people (left/right, male/female/other) for their looks instead of their policies or actions really gets my goat and I believe it should always be called out. HOWEVER ... Trump is a narcissist who himself attacks others for their looks and I think attacking HIS appearance is a great way to attack his weakness (also it's well-deserved) when it's public and he might see it and lose his shit or secretly cry over it. I was going to say "lose sleep over it" but he's already sleeping half the day. Attacking hypocrites using their own tactics seems logically and ethically defensible to me.

Tami Wolff

Amen Katie! Let's not target people for their looks! There are plenty of other things to point out.
