It's important to understand that Greenland is not just part of Denmark, but has it's own domestic politics. The current crisis have meant that the Greenlandic government, Naalakkersuisut, have gained greater autonomy and room for maneuver. This mapping of the GL elite is a good place to start

Since the hegemon's eye is now focussing on Greenland, I recommend revisting our research note in @bjsociology.bsky.social on the Power elite in Greenland onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10....

EU citizens - especially those in Greenland - deserve a clear answer to the question of how EU leaders would react to attempts of the US to annex Greenland. Will there be a clear political and economic response? Or is it also going to be a "complex situation" to be "closely monitored"?

This one is resonating today. #Andor

"international law must be followed" is european for "thoughts and prayers"

These freaks want territorial expansion and they know Trump will do everything he can to deliver. This isn’t just a tweet from some random asshole either. This is Stephen Miller’s wife. Miller was in the room with Trump during the kidnapping of Maduro.

Blows my mind that some of the same journalists who see Trump as a want-to-be dictator at home are earnestly discussing the "challenges" for this same man to "bring democracy" to a country it just illegal invaded. Please grow up.

you don't need to add caveats agreeing that the head of state abducted is a bad guy before opposing abduction of a head of state by military force. If the rule was any head of government is fair game then the entire world would be a series of decapitation strikes and show trials in foreign courts.

It's seems clear that no country is allowed to have large scale oil reserves unless a pliant member of the US empire

The abduction of a head of state and the unprovoked attack on Venezuela are extremely dangerous. This is the most naked form of imperialism, which - if unopposed and unresisted - puts every country and government at the mercy of the US, and any other powerful country that tries to copy it. 1/

Whatever you might think of Maduro, the seizure and kidnapping of a head of state takes us to a very dark place. Vast, arbitrary, extra-legal power, which could be exercised almost anywhere, regardless of the character of the target government.

Kidnapping the leader of a foreign state without any declaration of war and announcing it via social media is full-on rogue state stuff. From the world’s number one superpower.

This is the end of any notion of international law. The US government (and it's proxies) have claimed the right to invade any country and kill or capture any individual without pretext

Credit where it’s due. Spotify’s algorithm absolutely nails my music taste.

Lønmodtagerbeskæftigelsen i #dkøko bliver ved med at slå rekord. Trods utallige meldinger om mangel på arbejdskraft med krav om nye reformer og lempet adgang for arbejdskraft fra 3. lande. Det er attraktivitet og fleksibilitet så det basker #dkpol. 👇 Årets sidste opdatering af #yndlingsfiguren

The decline of democracy in the US means you can’t visit the US if you commented on the decline of democracy in the US

THE ASSET CLASS, my first book, will be published by @wnbooks.bsky.social on 9 April 2026. It’s a narrative investigation of private equity, a secretive and relentlessly destructive wing of finance that penetrates almost every aspect of our lives - and it’s available to pre-order now!

I IDA har vi arbejdet med en takstreform af den kollektive trafik. Herunder "stive køreplaner" = Halvtimes drift. Nu viser det sig at ikke bare modelberegningerne giver langt flere passagerer. Det gør virkeligheden også. #dktrp #dkpol www.kollektivtrafik.dk?Id=3771

For en sjælden gang skyld er der gode nyheder fra ulighedsfronten. Den seneste opgørelse af gini-koefficienten fra Danmarks Statistik viser et lille fald fra fra 30,6 i 2023 til 30,4 i 2024. www.dst.dk/da/Statistik...

"Around Europe, labor parties have alienated their base by forming grand coalitions with the center-right . In Denmark, Mette Frederiksen’s Social Democrats have pursued this strategy with the same dismal results." From my analysis Jacobin on the state of Danish politics after the local elections

I wish I didn’t have to share this. But the BBC has decided to censor my first Reith Lecture. They deleted the line in which I describe Donald Trump as “the most openly corrupt president in American history.” /1

Hvis ikke du adresserer ulighed i udslip, får du aldrig bred opbakning til seriøs klimahandling. Det gælder herhjemme og det gælder på globalt plan som i COP-forhandlingerne. @larskoch.bsky.social har et godt indlæg i Altinget www.altinget.dk/udvikling/ar...

Historic shift in Copenhagen. After a century of Social Democratic rule, the city have elected its first ever left-wing mayor. www.dr.dk/nyheder/poli...

Over 500 economists and inequality experts from 70 countries are urging world leaders to establish an “IPCC-style” body for inequality. Some surprising new names, including Former US Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen or Daron Agemoglu www.equals.ink/p/500-econom...

Det har været en begivenhedsrig uge for klimaarbejdet i Oxfam 🌍🧵 I weekenden udkom vores danske rapport om ulighed i udledninger — de store og stigende forskelle i klimaaftryk mellem de rigeste og fattigste danskere. oxfam.dk/wp-content/u...

Vores nye analyse slår fast, at forskellen mellem de rigeste og fattigste danskeres CO2-udledninger vokser. De lavere indkomstgrupper mindsker nemlig deres udledninger mest, mens den allerrigeste gruppe udleder mere end tidligere. @runestahl.bsky.social #dkpol politiken.dk/klima/art106...

...og nu på fredag d. 14/11 er der møde i EU-netværket for civilsamfundet kl. 9-10 under temaet fair beskatning og mindre ulighed i EU med @runestahl.bsky.social fra Oxfam. www.eubureauet.dk/.../06/uligh...

I USA och Storbritannien pratar man "house-poor". Vi borde ha ett liknande mått i Sverige? Alltså att visst har lönerna ökat, men det betyder verkligen inte att alla har fått det bättre. Särskilt inte när det gäller att ha råd med en bostad.

Jeg synes tilhængerne af 'remigration' skylder os at forklare os præcist hvordan de har tænkt sig at tvinge titusinder af danske borgere ud af landet - er det oprettelse af tungtbevæbnet korps ala USA, lokale militser ala Bosnien? Kunne være rart at få den slags lavpraktiske svar

Global economics inequality is reaching a tipping point and the world needs an "IPCC of inquality" to help track and understand the problem. Thats the main point of todays report of the G20 Expert Group on Global Inequality - led by Joseph Stiglitz, Jayati Ghosh ipdcolumbia.org/event/landma...

It's ok, all holders of these securities need to do is buy an over-the-counter credit derivative to hedge their default risk, then securitize and tranche those derivative contracts and sell the resulting income streams. Assuming the top tranches get AAA credit ratings, what could possibly go wrong?

Copenhagen looks to be swinging significantly to the left in local election. Social democrats (currently leading a centrist government nationally) are collapsing in the polls. Parties to the left of SD could gain a majority for the first time in the city (and probably any Danish municipality)

The rich are responsible for an outsized share of carbon emissions — the top 10% account for 48%. And the gap is growing. Since 1990, the richest 1% have increased their share of emissions by 13%, while the poorest 50% have seen theirs fall by 3%.

Data shows wealthiest 0.1% of the US burn carbon at 4,000 times the rate of the world’s poorest 10% www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Det er altid lidt nervepirrende at møde sine forbilleder. I sidste uge holdt vi et lanceringsevent for vores bog hos Dagbladet Information, hvor avisens klimanestor Jørgen Steen Nielsen interviewede os om bogens hovedpointer og tryktestede vores analyse og argumentation.

Jeg havde @runestahl.bsky.social forbi Aftryk-studiet forleden for at tale om hans nye bog, Klima og klasse (sammen med CBS-magtforskerne @chellersgaard.bsky.social og Andreas Møller Mulvad). Lyt med og gå ind og følg Aftryk i dit podcast-feed! podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/p...

Sorry, men det her handler mere om identitetspolitik end energipolitik. På det principielle plan synes jeg atomkraft er en fin, fossilfri energikilde. Men i DK er det både markant dyrere og langsommere end alternativerne.

Det er lidt pudsigt, at stort set hvert ord som Trump ytrer bliver livedækket i skandinaviske medier, mens der kun er begrænset dækning af de nok største demonstrationer i USAs historie.

"they make a desert and call it peace"

Wealth inequality in Europe keeps rising. A main reason is that income from wealth is taxed much lighter than wages, creating a tax system that is highly regressive at the top. This means that billionaires across Europe have lower taxes rates than normal working people.

stellar investigation by 972Mag on IDF's manufactured videos that are reproduced uncritically in media. Truly a propaganda war."These videos are produced in-house by a small animation cell in the IDF Spokesperson’s Unit, working mainly in After Effects + Blender" www.972mag.com/israeli-army...
