Members of the United States Senate and the House of Representatives,
I am a citizen of Greenland 🇬🇱
You must understand the gravity of the situation.
The people of Greenland are not for sale. The citizens of Greenland are not slaves. Slavery was abolished in 1865, and the idea that a people or their land can be acquired has no place in the modern world, under international law, or within democratic societies.
At this moment, the citizens of Greenland—from children to the elderly—are feeling unsafe and deeply unsettled by the current situation. No population should be made to feel fear or insecurity because of statements made by those in positions of power.
There are no Russian or Chinese naval forces operating in Greenlandic waters. Claims suggesting otherwise are false and misleading.
The United States already has a strong and long-standing defense agreement with the Kingdom of Denmark. This agreement has provided the United States with full military access to Greenland in support of American and allied security.
You, as members of Congress, have a responsibility to act. You must uphold international law, respect the sovereignty of allies, and ensure that no attempt is made to take control of Greenland🇬🇱
You took an oath to the Constitution, not to President Trump.
The world is watching. The people of Greenland are watching. Action is required now.
Sincerely,
If you're wondering why Greenland belongs to Denmark or what its exact current status is in relation to Denmark, it's all explained in this video.
We all need to be experts on Greenland now, so here’s your chance.
God jul #energitwitter!
Årets julklapp från mig är en epistelläsning. I den anlitar företaget @hitachienergy konsultbyrån Bellbird för att sprida desinformation om Sveriges elsystem. Bellbird får i sin tur hjälp av Lennart Söder och Tomas Kåberger med uppgiften. Häng med på 🧵:
Suppose that once a week, ten men go out for beer and the bill for all ten comes to £100.
If they paid their bill the way we pay our taxes, it would go something like this:
The first four men (the poorest) would pay nothing.
The fifth would pay £1.
The sixth would pay £3.
The seventh would pay £7.
The eighth would pay £12.
The ninth would pay £18.
And the tenth man (the richest) would pay £59.
So, that’s what they decided to do.
The ten men drank in the bar every week and seemed quite happy with the arrangement until, one day, the owner caused them a little problem.
“Since you are all such good customers,” he said, “I’m going to reduce the cost of your weekly beer by £20.”
Drinks for the ten men would now cost just £80.
The group still wanted to pay their bill the way we pay our taxes.
So the first four men were unaffected.
They would still drink for free but what about the other six men?
The paying customers? How could they divide the £20 windfall so that everyone would get his fair share?
They realized that £20 divided by six is £3.33, but if they subtracted that from everybody’s share then not only would the first four men still be drinking for free but the fifth and sixth man would each end up being paid to drink his beer.
So, the bar owner suggested that it would be fairer to reduce each man’s bill by a higher percentage.
They decided to follow the principle of the tax system they had been using and he proceeded to work out the amounts he suggested that each should now pay.
And so, the fifth man, like the first four, now paid nothing (a 100% saving).
The sixth man now paid £2 instead of £3 (a 33% saving).
The seventh man now paid £5 instead of £7 (a 28% saving).
The eighth man now paid £9 instead of £12 (a 25% saving).
The ninth man now paid £14 instead of £18 (a 22% saving).
And the tenth man now paid £49 instead of £59 (a 16% saving).
Each of the last six was better off than before with the first four continuing to drink for free.
But, once outside the bar, the men began to compare their savings. “I only got £1 out of the £20 saving,” declared the sixth man. He pointed to the tenth man, “but he got £10!“
“Yeah, that’s right,” exclaimed the fifth man. “I only saved a £1 too. It’s unfair that he got ten times more benefit than me!”
“That’s true!” shouted the seventh man. “Why should he get £10 back, when I only got £2? The wealthy get all the breaks!”
“Wait a minute,” yelled the first four men in unison, “we didn’t get anything at all. This new tax system exploits the poor!”
The nine men surrounded the tenth and beat him up.
The next week the tenth man didn’t show up for drinks, so the nine sat down and had their beers without him.
But when it came time to pay the bill, they discovered something important – they didn’t have enough money between all of them to pay for even half of the bill!
And that’s how it works.
Tax them too much, attack them for being wealthy and they just might not show up anymore. In fact, they might start drinking overseas, where the atmosphere is somewhat friendlier.
For those who understand, no explanation is needed.
For those who do not understand, no explanation is possible.
🇪🇺🇺🇸🇷🇺 EU Opens “Territorial Swap Season” as Von der Leyen Floats Trading Alaska for Crimea.
In a surprise statement that left diplomats choking on their coffee, Ursula von der Leyen reportedly announced that the EU is “open” to recognizing Alaska as Russian territory if it helps settle the whole Crimea thing once and for all. “Look, the Americans barely use the place except for reality TV and bears,” she allegedly said, shrugging as if she were trading Pokémon cards and not chunks of sovereign land.
According to sources, she concluded by noting that “this is how grownups negotiate,” before pointing out that if Trump can hand out Europe like party favors, she might as well join the fun.
The Kremlin was said to be “deeply intrigued,” mostly because they hadn’t even asked for Alaska yet, but appreciated the enthusiasm. Washington, on the other hand, responded with its usual composure.
Experts agree the whole episode highlights the new era of diplomatic innovation, where global leaders spontaneously auction off territories they don’t own in exchange for ones they also don’t own, all in the noble pursuit of “peace” or at least a quieter news cycle ❤️.

Om S driver partipolitik till barn genom bulvanföretag så räcker det om det finns en lapp på månen med ett genomskinligt S på.
Har jag förstått det rätt?
När TV4 gick på om SD:s ”trollfabrik” inför EU-valet fick vi ett massivt mediedrev i veckor. Politiker, experter, SVT, DN, AB, alla körde samma berättelse. Nu avslöjas att S själva driver vilseledande ungdomskonton, döljer avsändare och använder sitt mediebolag för att runda Metas nya regler. Det är ett grövre upplägg än vad SD anklagades för. Ändå råder nu total tystnad i samma medier. Det säger egentligen allt om balansen i svensk journalistik.
Från 1 juli räcker det i princip med ett BankID för att byta kön.

”OECD SÅGAR REGERINGENS KLIMATPOLITIK” löd rubrikerna förra veckan, om ni minns.
Jag har nu läst vad OECD faktiskt skrev och kan meddela att rapporten snarare är som ett utvecklingssamtal med en A+-student.
Såhär står det🧵
Ukraina är regeringens viktigaste utrikespolitiska prioritering. Därför prioriterar vi nu bort t.ex. det bilaterala biståndet till Burkina Faso och Mali, som stöttar Ryssland, och budgeterar för att öka det civila stödet till Ukraina med 1,1 mdr kr.
I Sverige har alltså den som bara bott i landet ett år rätt till garantipension. En livslång försörjning trots att personen inte betalat in en krona till svenska pensionssystemet. Ibland t.o.m. en högre pension än den som jobbat och betalat in till sin egen pension.
Rättvist?
