Can't make this crap up - bill introduced to buy #Greenland and rename it .... https://www.dailykos.com/stories/2025/3/17/2310825/-Can-t-make-this-crap-up-bill-introduced-to-buy-Greenland-and-rename-it?pm_campaign=trending&pm_source=sidebar&pm_medium=web
I would suggest you tell your comrade that americans should be more concerned about the integration of the Russian language than French.
Ok…so despite the senile rantings and ravings by #Trump about acquiring Greenland either by purchase or force, I had not clocked the name of the bill on it…
‘Introduced in House (02/10/2025)
Red, White, and Blueland Act of 2025
This bill authorizes the President to enter into negotiations with the government of #Denmark to purchase or otherwise acquire Greenland. The bill also renames #Greenland as Red, White, and Blueland.’
https://www.congress.gov/bill/119th-congress/house-bill/1161
Well isn’t that interesting…
“According to the US Geological Survey, the basin off Greenland’s east coast alone contains 31 billion barrels of oil equivalent and west Greenland about half of that. If this was all recoverable, Greenland could become one of the world’s largest fossil fuel producers.”

Just in case you were wondering about Greenland (as the Court of the Tangerine Tyrant demands access to its minerals & perhaps even is considering annexation), Visual Capitalist has produced this quick visual primer....

Really fascinating bit of work on #genetics of #Greenland and what it can tell us about the population in the past and present.
It also really demonstrates why it's important to include people from diverse origins in genetic databases, but more importantly, it's also about HOW to include indigenous people in research + how to consider data sovereignty.
Also applicable in #climateScience applications, there's a nice overview here too:

Sumé – Sumut (1973, Greenland)
Our next spotlight is on number 383 on The List, submitted by myself. Sumé was the first Greenlandic rock band in Greenland, making this, their debut, the first rock album released in the Greenlandic language. This language choice and the lyrics sung in that language were a revolutionary political statement. Released just 6 years before a referendum that would gain Greenland home rule and therefore greater autonomy from Denmark, the album would become a key part in Greenland’s fight for independence from Danish rule.

They've made a promise! That's alright then
#Greenland
Greenlanders protest US plans for annexation.
(And may I ask, how is this ”UNEXPECTED”?)

When Trump has invaded, and subjugated #Canada, and #Greenland, Trump will look south, and see #Mexico, and #Panama standing there with open arms. And who knows whether Trump will invade, and slaughter Europe next? Wow, if Trump pulled all that off, it would rival anything that Hitler, Stalin, and Idi Amin ever accomplished. All hail Trump the Conqueror!
@alexlunaview I imagine people in #Greenland have stopped buying US imports, like much of the sentient world.
Everyone might also consider *not selling to* the local US embassy, consulate, or other governmental and corporate American presences. When a contract expires, don't put in a new bid.
this is generational for many Canadian's, even if threats were to stop tomorrow the distrust would last many lifetimes.
I have been wanting to take a picture of this display ever since the owner of the junkyard in Errington, BC on #bcHwy4 erected it last week.
The time and care he put into this is just
The flags. The sign. The toilet. Amazing.
The dinosaur was already there. It’s a cool spot obviously the owner is an artist.
