TRUMP ADMIN SCALES BACK GREENLAND VISIT AFTER MASSIVE BACKLASH
The Trump administration has been forced to cancel most of its planned visit to Greenland after facing backlash from Greenlanders, and will now only be visiting a U.S. military base on the territory.
In advance of the visit, American representatives knocked on doors to see if any Greenlanders would welcome Usha Vance into their home.
Every single person told them no.
Greenland's Prime Minister condemned the visit and demonstrations against the U.S. were planned, sending

Addicts will often defend the drug, as peons defended the bread and circuses given to pacify them.

The Iconic, One-Eyed 'Queen of the Wolves' Dies After Fight With Rival Pack in Yellowstone National Park A beloved matriarch, 907F lived to be 11 years old, which is much longer than the average life span for gray wolves and a rare feat, even for those in the protected area of Yellowstone

A beautiful tribute to Yellowstone's 907F โค๏ธ

Reminder: dying a natural death (whether from disease, wolf-wolf strife, competition with other predators, etc) should be the norm for wolves, but it's not. Too many wolves are killed by humans + never have the chance to live as a wild wolf should.
