According to German newspaper Bild, Germany is also sending multiple military members to Greenland to explore future support. And the transnational mission is being coordinated out of Copenhagen, not NATO, since Greenland would be under the NATO command in Norfolk, VA.

I am very nervous about the Vance/Rubio - Løkke/Motzfeldt meeting and what happens afterwards
BREAKING part 3: Denmark is not acting alone. Several European allies are in dialogue with Copenhagen about providing military reinforcements to Greenland.

Preparing for the arrival of allied forces is a key task for the advance unit now on the ground.

You would think this is a headline from the Onion:

“A diplomatic source said: 'The generals think Trump's Greenland plan is crazy and illegal. So they are trying to deflect him with other major military operations. They say it's like dealing with a five-year-old'.”

what the fuck

have we tried turning the country off and back on again

It’s easy to think that schools in Minneapolis are closed because the Feds murdered someone in the street but no, the actual reason is that while that was happening, the Feds were busy doing other heinous shit across the city like tear-gassing a school
“The move came after officials at Roosevelt High School said armed U.S. Border Patrol officers came on school property during dismissal Wednesday and began tackling people, handcuffed two staff members and released chemical weapons on bystanders.” — www.mprnews.org/story/2026/0...
Minneapolis schools cancel classes after Border Patrol clash disrupts dismissal at Roosevelt

If I stayed at A&M, I would not be able to teach more than half of my courses. A deep loss that experts like Dr Petersen are being silenced.

I would be interested too. Thanks for working on this!

Can state-building disrupt rather than stabilize society? Thrilled to have a new article in @apsrjournal.bsky.social w/ @mikealbertus.bsky.social showing that the expansion of state communication networks spurred rebellion for decades in France before the Revolution.

When is the time for the EU & UK to move military to Greenland?
TAPPER: Can you rule out the US is going to take Greenland by force?

MILLER: Greenland should be part of the US. By what right does Denmark assert control over Greenland? The US is the power of NATO

T: So force is on the table?

M: Nobody is gonna fight the US militarily over future of Greenland

As should social democratic and other left parties in Europe…
And I think liberals should stop taking the bait and ceding ground on immigration.

Immigration is good. Multiculturalism is good. Free trade is good. Stop being embarrassed to say so.

Time for Denmark to adopt the € and participate in this. No need to pay to US companies every time we spend money, nor depend on them.

The European Central Bank is proposing a digital Euro, which would mean European merchants no longer being required to pay the high transaction fees of Visa, Mastercard, Google, and Apple

It'll be free to use in Europe

This is a wild authoritarian move by the current Danish government. First chat control, now trying to outlaw VPN use #dkpol
www.dr.dk/nyheder/poli...
Regeringen vil forbyde VPN'er til at streame udenlandsk tv og åbne ulovlige hjemmesider
Forbuddet skal gælde indhold, som ellers ikke ville være tilgængeligt i Danmark, eller som er ulovligt, fremgår det af et udkast til en ny lov.
