In 1916, the US was worried that Germany might take control of the Danish West Indies to use as a submarine base. So, Denmark sold the Danish West Indies to the USA, with the colony becoming the US Virgin Islands. In exchange, the USA acknowledged Denmark's complete sovereignty over Greenland.

Bloody hell. After disarming Ukraine’s air defences so Putin could strike its critical infrastructure, it now looks like Trump’s administration is feeding intelligence to Russia on Ukraine’s forces

Over 200K Danish citizens signed a petition to buy California as a response to the orange felon’s hunt for Greenland. The petition states that they’ll provide Californians with universal health care, fact-based politics, rule of law, lifetime supply of Danish pastries. Love it.

If you need inspiration to keep going right now, may I recommend the story of Robert Smalls, who stole a confederate steamboat and piloted his family and almost 20 others to freedom and went on to become one of the first Black people elected to Congress ✊🏽 www.usatoday.com/story/life/b...

This is terrifying.

“We don’t have illegal aliens… the legal term for my people were slaves….” 🚨This is what leadership looks and sounds like in 2025.✊🏼

Administration lying in sworn statements.

In United States constitutional law, plenary power is a power that has been granted to a body or person in absolute terms, with no review of or limitations upon the exercise of that power. (Wikipedia) Trump has this. No wonder Miller stopped talking

I’m really interested in what Kate Campbell SNP has to say about this - bsky.app/profile/kate...

Is this undercover or secret police? If the latter, are people being targeted and imprisoned for their beliefs? Is this the USA 2025 or another dystopian novel with a strong female lead? Good luck and may the odds be ever in your favour

Good. We need many, many more people like her. Labour's attacks on some of the most vulnerable in society MUST stop. www.theguardian.com/politics/liv...

Check this out — American stocks were on par with global stocks up until late January — and have now dropped terribly since then Gosh I wonder what happened in late January?

This is Marco Rubio explaining how the USA promised to defend Ukraine forever if they got rid of their nuclear arsenal left after the Soviet Union fell. This is why lil marco was sinking into the couch. He was hoping we wouldn’t find it…so don’t RT right now this very second.

Welcome to the RFK Jr Era of Public Health.

USAID’s inspector general—presumably operating from a remote base in the mountains—has just released a report on the staggering effect of the Trump Administration’s assault on the agency. oig.usaid.gov/sites/defaul...

On Sunday, JD Vance dared to argue that federal courts “aren’t allowed” to limit the president's “legitimate power. George Conway is forewarning America, predicting that Donald Trump is setting us up for a constitutional showdown that could mean the end of U.S. democracy. On…

“Mark my words. … They are going to basically tell the U.S. Marshals Service, do not enforce any of these orders, we will not obey them, … and, once that happens—I hope it doesn't … but I know in my heart that it will—our 236-year experiment … in American constitutionalism, is over.”

We are so f**ked!

AI systems could be ‘caused to suffer’ if consciousness achieved, says research

Ash Regan reminds me of what President Mitterrand said about Margaret Thatcher: she has the mouth of Marilyn Monroe, and the eyes of Caligula

This is what the government did with 120K+ Japanese Americans in 1942. I know. I was there in those camps.

My wife was diagnosed with Multiple Myeloma and 2017, since then Cancer Researchers have discovered many new drugs to help keep her and thousands of patients alive each year. Trump shutting down Cancer research is horrific and will cost an unprecedented amount of lives and jobs. This is barbaric!

So it goes.

"Even the story of his near-murder, his tragi-farcical trials, and his ordeal in the penal colony is told with humor—and humanity." Navalny's refusal to knuckle under is permanent, now that he is dead, and is still a threat to Putin's regime.

You wanted a reality show host as a president, well now you’re on Survivor.
