Joint Statement of major EU/NATO countries on Greenland, together with Denmark:

What is just crazy about this, aside from the need for this statement at all, is that Greenland already IS in the US sphere of influence. It's far cheaper for the US, in material, security, and reputational terms, to have Denmark continue administering Greenland and work within NATO on security.

It's a hive mind with Trump being the main cell.

They all forfeited their right to think in exchange of unbridled power on weak people.

Your country is fucking sickening.

Trigger warning ⚠️

We're living at a time where violence towards Hispanics is ramping up.

This murder by law enforcement should be met with reactions across the country!

Interestingly, Putin recalled all Russians from Venezuela right before Christmas. Tell me they aren’t working together 🤯
They are gearing up for WWIII. Trump takes Greenland and Latin America while Putin invades the EU. Trump knows jail awaits him if he loses power. This will save him…

Not the audience. Canada needs allies with whom it can cooperate on collective security, to make it clear aggression carries consequences. Trumpland won't stop unless there are reasons to stop.

Don't just sail past this. It's the explicit denial of the principle of sovereignty. It is a return to pre-UN global politics, in which interstate conflict was the norm, not the exception.

There's not even the hint of justification. Might makes right, full stop.

Uh, Canada, you might want to say something definitive about respecting sovereignty of Arctic states sooner rather than later.

Hakeem Jeffries talking in inarticulate circles on the Last Word tonight clearly demonstrates the need for new Dem leadership. We have the bench strength in the party to do so much better. We need strong messaging, a compelling plan and leaders able to inspire.

"Journalists and their news orgs can show their patriotism by doing their jobs of seeking the truth, no matter who it offends. They can serve the public by reporting honestly & deeply on what their government is up to and why even if that means they lose access or get sued."

The question you should be asking is: "Where are the American people? Why are they not taking disruptive direct action after all checks and balances have clearly failed?"

In Isabella Kulak's home is a box of about a few hundred letters, notes and hand-drawn pictures of ribbon skirts sent to her from across Canada and beyond — fan mail from those who consider her story and the origins of "Ribbon Skirt Day" as inspirational.
The girl who ignited a cultural movement reflects on changes since she was shamed for wearing a ribbon skirt
About five years ago, Isabella Kulak, a member of the Cote First Nation in Saskatchewan was shamed for wearing a ribbon skirt to formal day.
