I donated to USC’s new campaign funding equipment for Ukrainian schools near the frontline. Because children shouldn’t have to learn in a bomb shelter.
@timmiller.bsky.social Any idea what your governor is doing in Greenland? Doesn’t he have a full time job running Louisiana?
“You don’t need Greenland, you need therapy.” Word. www.dr.dk/tjenester/ki...
There are a lot of confident assertions by Americans on social media that the US will just offer each Greenlander a lump sum to hand over their country to the US. Danish foreign minister Lars Løkke Rasmussen explains why that won’t happen.
@billbrowder.bsky.social argues that confiscating frozen Russian assets in Europe and handing them to Ukraine will shift the power balance and finally force Putin to negotiate an end to his invasion. Do it now! Why continue to let Trump and Putin push us around?
Fogh Rasmussen is saying everything the Danish government can’t say right now.
Zelenskyy has been hitting the European summit hard this week. Hopefully some results will appear soon - like an agreement on handing Ukraine the frozen Russian assets? 🤞
My efforts to buy Un-American continue as the I'm So Bored with the USA Tour 2025 touches down in 🇩🇪 . I bought new wireless headphones from Sennheiser instead of [insert US tech juggernaut here]. They work fine with my old iPhone. Wish me luck for the next leg of the tour. #boycottusa
Great brief rundown from Danish MP Rasmus Jarlov (Conservative, so not in current DK govt) about what’s going on in Greenland 🇬🇱 right now. Trump is taking a leaf from the Putin book of disinformation and covert interference in other countries’ internal politics. youtu.be/XwU8yl2M7Vo?...
I subscribed to the English-language @kyivindependent.com to show my support for Ukraine and independent journalism. It’s an excellent news source. Good luck in the White House Zelensky! Keep your friends close, and your enemies closer! #StandWithUkraine kyivindependent.com
/2 The I'm So Bored with the USA Tour 2025 kicks off in 🇬🇧 where I live. I bought 2 sports bras from UK brand Sweaty Betty instead of [insert US sportswear juggernaut here]. Wish me luck for the next leg of the tour. #boycottusa
Provoked by Trump's foreign policy and inspired by the Canadian #elbowsup consumer boycott, I've decided to buy Un-American for a while where I can. /1
Hedder det ikke ‘jernhånd i en fløjlshandske’? Hvis man stikker jernhandsken frem med det samme, giver udtrykket ingen mening. Eller også har man ladet sin varme jernhandske ligge for længe i solen. Håber at LLR er bedre til forhandling end til metaforer. Og at DKs formandskab går godt iøvrigt.
Diego Maradona (b.1960) died years ago after trying to inhale his life earnings through his nose. Michael Laudrup (b.1964) is alive & well and probably enjoying a glass of wine somewhere. Just saying. Otherwise a fresh, thoughtful take on Denmark from FT’s Janan Ganesh. on.ft.com/4hu7N3W
