My coworker used to take the long way home every night. Two extra bus stops, more walking, more money, more time. One day I asked her why she didn’t just take the shortcut alley behind our building.
She laughed and said, “Oh, because a guy followed me there once and told me he could ‘do whatever he wanted’ and no one would hear me scream.”
So now, every night, she calls a male friend and pretends she’s on the phone with her “boyfriend.” Sometimes she even laughs loudly and says things like, “Yeah, I’ll see you in five minutes, babe,” even when she’s completely alone.
Not because she wants attention.
Not because she’s dramatic.
Because sounding “taken” and “protected” is safer than sounding like a woman by herself.
Men cannot even begin to understand the calculations women make every day just to get home alive.
🇳🇴 As a Norwegian, let me just say to this man; the only embarrassment we feel, is second hand embarrassment for the fact that you even think you should have one.
The man who cuddles up with the worst war criminals of our time, who just attacked another country to get their resources, and now threatens to do the same to several other nations, including occupying one of our neighbors.
To the man who does nothing but praise russia, that’s waging a genocidal war in Europe, and even refuse to call russia out as the aggressor & terrorist state that they are.
The man who never condemn a single one of russias massive attacks on Ukraine, when they bomb residential buildings & murder civilians, but instead continue to purely put pressure and disrespect on the victims of this war and comes up with the absurd statements like saying Ukraine “does bad things too” simply for defending themselves and their country.
To the man who created a force unit that now goes door to door in his own nation, tearing families apart without proper due process, abusing people who cleans up your mess, harvest your food and build your homes. A force who now also will unlawfully arrest and even shoot and kill their own citizens, and be praised for it!!
The man who does nothing for his people’s welfare and healthcare, but brags about his corrupted deals, building real estate on the dead bodies of children in another country.
The man who has tasked his family and friends with international trading and crypto schemes in order to enrich his name own name.
The man who flashes gold and build ballrooms for his billionaire friends, while his own people can barely afford rent and carry the nation with the taxes they pay from their hard earned labor, while he and his super wealthy associates gets tax evasions and continue hosting their lavish parties of corruption!
So to sum up; No! We Norwegians are far from embarrassed over you not getting a Peace Price. And our nation is far from getting decimated. In fact, feel free to look at our ranking of wellbeing, safety, growth and equality compared to yours, maybe you’ll be the one who’ll feel a bit embarrassed.
BREAKING
Write this down: nobody owns the USA. It is official. Listen.
Trump says Denmark has no legal claim to Greenland.
“The fact that they landed a boat there 500 years ago doesn’t mean they own the land.”
And how did we find the USA again? That’s right. With a few boats.
Also, by the way. Trump has never passed the cognitive test where you are asked to pick out the giraffes.
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,
