Greenlanders say no to Trump as rare earths loom over coalition talks Election throws up surprise result as independence from Denmark remains tough to define.

Greenland had a message for Donald Trump as islanders went to the polls this week: thanks, but no thanks.

The US president’s repeated noises about acquiring the vast Arctic island were rejected at the ballot box, as a party that denounced Trump’s ambitions came out on top.

Hillary Clinton told you the truth about Trump and Putin. You didn't vote for her and she was right about everything.

Kamala Harris told you the truth about Trump and Putin. You didn't vote for her and she was right about everything.

I hope your misogyny was worth losing your democracy.

Boycott. He loves an audience. Deny it to him

Toxic positivity, be damned, Herman Hesse reminds us that true optimism is not the denial of suffering. It is the will to perceive beauty amidst the suffering, and to conceive compassion despite suffering: “because the world is so full of death and horror I try again and again to console my heart and pick the flowers that grow in the midst of hell“

Yeah. I'm more of an "aesthetics over DPS" player. Many beams, much pew-pew

Hearing from Community Partners International, which works from Myanmar to Bangladesh, that USAID cuts mean 14,000 people with HIV losing access to lifesaving meds and a total stop in all HIV and TB screening. So many people will die due to these chaotic, sudden, horrifically implemented cuts.

Agreed. Despite doubts about effectiveness (I'm more of a "let's have a General Strike" guy) I'm hoping this might motivate future action and give people some sense that they aren't alone in wanting to do something

For the record, do I think a one-day boycott is going to make much of an economic impact? No. Do I think that a sort of "Baby's First Boycott," performative though it is, might be useful to make some folks aware of the impact of their economic power, and how it might be wielded politically? Maybe.

Got to admit, did not know it was still running

I've spent the morning re-doing my Powerpoints for recent American history. As I looked for an image to go along with "9/11" and "school shootings" I started crying. Teaching about Romans is way easier.

The organization RFK Jr formerly led is actively putting information out stating that the measles vaccine is to blame for this outbreak, not declining vaccination rates.

It’s a lie.

The measles vaccine is both incredibly effective and very safe.

His rhetoric is responsible for these realities.

The Era of Purges The firing of trans officials is part of a broader pattern of exclusion

New, from me: Tulsi Gabbard purged trans intelligence officers after a Chris Rufo smear campaign.
They were targeted because they were trans, their words were mischaracterized, and they were offered no due process.

Back in the day I posted about this regularly to general yawns from my non-gamer friends, but something was happening there. See also the stuff surrounding the Hugos, etc... One of the roots of a lot of what we are seeing from this guy are to be found in "nerd" culture

“I have been, and ever shall be, your friend.” Tear up every time

The police unions get their payoff

Far-right ideas of breakdown and disruption prosper when the left gives up on more demanding visions of the future. In any context where people have become dissatisfied with the status quo, the promise to throw things up in the air is likely to do better than a politics of exact targets and metrics.
