European countries stand united. We emphasize the principles of territorial integrity and sovereignty. We support Denmark and Greenland.
Dialogue with the United States continues. Tariffs would undermine the transatlantic relationship and risk a dangerous downward spiral.

🇫🇮 Stubb: Among allies, issues are best resolved through discussion, not through pressure.
Strengthening Arctic security together with allies is very important for Finland. This is also the purpose of the Danish-led and allied-coordinated action in Greenland.

I’m not saying it as someone who’s always known, I had to learn and internalize it myself, but it really is the case that the US has a giant unacknowledged settlerism embedded in the culture, and it manifests in such vivid ways.
the fact that Republican senators like Schmitt can’t even write a fascist screed on their own and instead have to rely on chatGPT perfectly captures the unique combination of evil and stupid that defines the modern Republican Party

When I lecture to students about how the apparently thriving economy of the 1920s was really a house of cards just waiting to be knocked down, one of the points I stress is how much a small number of the very rich were essentially propping up consumer spending in unsustainable ways
The top 10% now account for nearly half of all consumer spending.

The entire administration thinks that everything is about trolling. They think trade deals between nations are about posturing instead of being about *trade*. It’s infantile and destructive to everything we have.

people complain about this on r/biglaw all the time. “after rent, retirement, emergency fund, vacation fund, savings, restaurants, clothes, ubers, entertainment, i have nothing left!”
I had to once explain, in painstaking detail, to a big law attorney that just because they had a distribution for every dollar in their paycheck (401K, savings, vacation fund, student loans, etc etc) so they had a, proportional to their income, modest discretionary fund
I should be allowed to hunt corporate lawyers for sport

to watch a man/admin whose far-right allies published a detailed plan over a year ago successfully consolidate power in the U.S. with a loyal-to-him secret police force rounding up people he hates and then still say “HE HAS NO PLAN” and have huge swathes of liberals agree…I’m so tired
There is a reason he’s forced to cause all of this chaos. He has NO PLAN. He funds no programs, no healthcare, no education, no lower prices, money coming in only supports more chaos. He envies other dictators. I challenge ANYONE to tell me just one single thing he’s accomplished? Discussion open

By saying that territorial expansion is in our blood, Schmitt is quite literally articulating a "blood and soil" imperialism.
