Remembering one of the most important activists of our time.

Revisiting some of our conversations over the past decade... here's Gloria Steinem in her own words

[VICE News @VICENews]

Former Danish Foreign Minister Per Stig Møller is the last person to negotiate a treaty between Denmark and the U.S.

Shane Smith spoke with him about why he's shocked at Trump's advances at Greenland considering the military history.

[Chris Murphy 🟧 @ChrisMurphyCT]

I can't believe I'm posting this video - but we actually have to have a conversation about the real world implications of America going to war over Greenland.

Let me walk you through it. It doesn't turn out well for us.

[Sam Greene @samagreene]

I study authoritarianism for a living, so I do not say this lightly: America isn't facing an authoritarian future. America is living an authoritarian present.

SOON!
Free healthcare, no medical bankruptcy, longer average life expectancy, higher minimum wages, shorter workweeks, strong middle class, robust unemployment benefits, free university education with monthly SU stipends, low crime rates, tax the rich more, lower corruption, etc

[Jesper Møller Sørensen 🇩🇰 @DKambUSA]

Just a friendly reminder about the US and the Kingdom of Denmark: We are close allies and should continue to work together as such. US security is also Greenland’s and Denmark’s security. Greenland is already part of NATO. The Kingdom of Denmark and the United States work together to ensure security in the Arctic. The Kingdom of Denmark has significantly boosted its Arctic security efforts - in 2025 alone, we committed USD 13,7 bn that can be used in the Arctic and North Atlantic. Because we take our joint security seriously.

And yes, we expect full respect for the territorial integrity of the Kingdom of Denmark.

Carol of the Bells in Kyiv subway.

Voices of the Embassies of Germany, France, and the United Kingdom came together to perform Shchedryk in the Kyiv metro as a sign of solidarity with Ukraine.

Thankful to everyone who stands with us!

Americans need to ask: Is our foreign policy being carried out for our benefit? To build security in Europe? To spread prosperity? Save lives? Or is our foreign policy designed to enrich Trump's friends, family and donors?

I feel like they are all trying to tell us something. It’s on the tip of my tongue and the bottom of their signs.

Danmark har lige nu den næstbedste etapeløbsrytter i verden. Læs lige den sætning igen. Hvordan - alt taget i betragtning - kan det nogensinde kaste den her vurdering af sig? Overskriftshysteriet har spillet fallit. I skal gå hjem nu, I aner simpelthen ikke, hvad I taler om.

🥹 11-year-old Danish boy becomes the first foreigner to receive the “Future of Ukraine” award

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky presented the honorary award to Jens Thomsen — a schoolboy who has been handcrafting Easter decorations since last year, selling them and donating the proceeds to help Ukrainian children.

Over the past year, the boy raised more than 34,000 Danish kroner and used the funds to buy backpacks and school supplies for children affected by the war.

“Huge thanks to Jens — from all our people, from the children of Ukraine,” Zelensky wrote.
