#Greenland

53 posts51 participants0 posts today

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.’

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.”

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.

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! ✊
