I need help doing this. A lot of help, and I mean that. A LOT of help. If we could, maybe, get a literal global general strike for even one hour it will shut up the entirety of fascists. They need to feel very real extreme global pressure to stop being against everyone. I am willing to do the bare minimum and but a domain. And if we are on fedi, guess what? They have absolutely no chance of shutting us down. This needs widespread support, so I'm going to tag everything I can think of.

Trump donors eye potential bonanza if his #Greenland land-grab succeeds

Backers & investors who collectively donated at least $243M to Trump's 2024 campaign are now investing in mining & other businesses in Greenland, raising even more ethical concerns about his plan.

The Guardian · Trump donors eye potential bonanza if US succeeds with Greenland land-grabBy Tom Perkins

“Our message to Denmark is very simple: You have not done a good job by the people of Greenland,” Vance said. “You have underinvested in the people of Greenland, and you have underinvested in the security architecture of this incredible, beautiful landmass filled with incredible people. That has to change.”

I scoffed when I heard this on the news because how easily you could swap #Denmark for the United States and #Greenland for #PuertoRico. (Though from what I know Denmark has treated Greenland far better than the United States has treated Puerto Rico. And also, fuck the security/militarization shit.)

And now this. Again.

"Nearly 60 percent of Puerto Rico’s more than 1.4 million utility customers remained without power on Thursday, the morning after a #blackout knocked all of the island’s functioning power plants offline and left the entire island in the dark.

Service was unlikely to be fully restored before the early hours of Friday, Josué Colón, Puerto Rico’s energy czar, said in a news conference early Thursday. That was how long it would take, he said, to get all the power plants back online after the systemwide shutdown."

#Greenland - 😲 Techstate territory? Is this for real? Trump: "The ownership and control of Greenland is a necessity." Praxis: "According to plan."

🌎 Tech billionaires who funded #Trump & #Vance previously funded #Praxis, whose website states: "Today we're crowdfunding a city, tomorrow acquiring territory."

🚀 Cofounder (Dryden Brown) on X: "We must build a prototype of Terminus on Earth before departing for Mars. I believe Greenland is the place, @ elonmusk."

Think Trump will care that #Greenland's grasslands are an important check on climate-warming carbon?

To him, land isn't "productive" - i.e., useful - unless it's making money. Lots of it.

…Now, #Trump’s 2nd admin is pushing US #ForeignPolicy ofcls to find ways to partner w/ #Putin’s #Russia, signaling that he is willing to part ways w/ #allies, including by staking claims to #Greenland & #Canada, pressing #Ukraine to seek peace, & shifting US resources from #Europe to focus on #China.
#EdMartin’s views in some ways track those of VP #JDVance & #DNI #TulsiGabbard, who have criticized the exercise of US military power overseas.

#Rubio та #witkoff цього тижня відвідають #Paris, де обговорять із владою #France припинення війни в #Ukraine, бо обговорення з Україною і #laptekanda нічого не дають. Якщо і Франція не допоможе, збираються відвідати острови останньої надії: #Greenland, #Heard і #McDonald
