Denmark had a territorial dispute with Canada for nearly 50 years and all that happened was a periodic exchange of alcohol between the countries. Only Trump could piss off the Danes enough for them to deploy their military.

Let’s talk about abolishing ICE.

Very few people who say “abolish ICE” mean “abandon all immigration enforcement.” Rather, they mean “the structure of immigration enforcement is irretrievably broken and needs to be reorganized, just like we did 23 years ago when we created ICE.”

The absolute feeding frenzy to get the Democratic nomination for the more competitive (still strong republican) house district in Montana makes me feel like somebody is thinking some pretty out-of-reach districts are going to be in reach.

#BREAKING Denmark's foreign minister said after talks with US officials in Washington that US President Donald Trump has a clear wish of 'conquering' Greenland.

it's very clear that this is a template for how they're going to approach other cities

they do not and will not have enough people to do it everywhere all at once but if you live in a city there's a very good chance that an occupying army will show up at your door in the next few years
I know people on Bsky know this but I hope it filters out: The feds are OCCUPYING the Twin Cities. This is a blockade, a siege. They are shutting down economic and civic activity. They are conducting "papers please" stops. They are criminalizing being a bystander/witness.

You could be next.

based on the press conferences: shot called
i suspect the Greenlanders and Danes pointed this out during their meeting and Rubio was probably like "okay we can probably sell this as a win to Trump"

but i think his map painting tendencies are understated and his desire to expand America is too
It’s all wild. The ’51 treaty as written is pretty strongly in the US favor.

We can literally tell Denmark and Greenland “I want more bases” and as structured there actually isn’t too much leverage they have over the process.

(Before 2025 they’d probably agree without complaint)

it's funny how anyone with a linear concept of time is aware Trump started demanding Greenland first and then backfilled the 'uhh... to protect from Russia!' thing later but it's considered unacceptable for neutral media to mention this

Danish Foreign Minster Lars Løkke Rasmussen speaks after WH meeting: "For us, ideas that would not respect the territorial of the Kingdom of Denmark and the right of self-determination of the Greenlandic people are of course totally unacceptable. We therefore still have a fundamental disagreement."

Folks in the US still like to treat the whole Greenland invasion stuff as sufficiently unserious to engage with, but it is sufficiently serious that NATO allies are actively deploying tripwire forces to deter the US. That is *already* a political and actual cost to them, and to US relationships

China has condemned the United States for using supposed Chinese actions as a “pretext” for threatening Greenland—and it’s hard to argue with Beijing on this one, writes FP’s @beijingpalmer.bsky.social.
No, China Isn’t Going to Take Over Greenland
Trump’s absurd justification for potential U.S. action is blatantly false.
