If US threats towards Greenland continue, European countries could refuse to refuel American ships in European ports, require higher payments for the stationing of US troops — or even close US military bases.
US intentions towards Greenland threaten NATO’s future. But European countries are not helpless
US threats to annex Greenland following the attack on Venezuela should be taken seriously. European countries have important leverage they should be prepared to use.

UK wake up! We are letting the far right sleepwalk us into an oligarchy based on 🍊💩values. Like the US, Farage is giving racists a platform & they don’t care what other authoritarian policies accompany their agenda. There is another way & there are loads of us. Get involved-help organise, join us.
Nothing is ever going to change...

On BBC News today: striking that it’s the two old establishment parties - Labour and the Conservatives - refusing to condemn the US breaking international law and doing what it wants.

For folks still struggling with the math:
There are ~345 million US citizens.
There are ~245 million white US citizens.
This is what they mean by "Peaceful ethnic cleansing." Their plan ends with deporting all non-white people.
Not "undocumented criminals."
Not even "all undocumented people."

This should not be shrugged aside. They have stopped with the fake 22 million illegal immigrants things and are flat out saying we want to deport 10's of millions of citizens and legal residents from "third world countries" Basically they are advocating removing 1/3 of the population on a gov site.

The treatment of the Filton24, and the hunger strikers in particular, is astonishingly cruel and unjust. One young man I know is in jail pending trial in *2027*. The mental toll on the accused and their families is despicable.
Eight Palestine Action activists are being left to die in prison – all without even facing trial.

The Netherlands is investing €1 billion in cycling infrastructure to connect hundreds of thousands of new homes nationwide. These funds will build bike highways and improve bike-train intermodality, enabling residents to access jobs, healthcare and education without being locked into car dependency.
