French President Macron:
"France is committed to the sovereignty and independence of nations, in Europe and elsewhere. This guides our choices. It underpins our commitment to the United Nations and to its Charter.
It is on this basis that we support, and will continue to support Ukraine and that we have built a coalition of the willing for a robust and lasting peace, to defend these principles and our security.

According to DHS, about 3,000 ICE and federal agents are operating in the Minneapolis-St. Paul area. THREE THOUSAND! The entire Minneapolis Police Department only has about 580 officers. This is outrageous and unnecessary.
Our tax dollars are funding this abuse, so it’s happening in our name.

Trump has no legal authority to tariff American allies to bully them into backing his brainless attempt to seize #Greenland.
This is against the law, it’s a total disaster for America, and #Republicans in #Congress and the Supreme Court need to find their spines and stop it.

Knut Hamsun, Norwegian Nobel laureate in literature, sided with the Nazis so much he presented Goebbels with his Nobel medal in 1943 (which wasn't widely known until later).
Norwegians responded by mailing so many of Hamsun's books back to him that his local post office had to hire extra staff.
The return of the European wildcat.
Encouraging news, and your post puts it all into context. These are the kind of "important marginalia" that the Fediverse is so good at sharing.
The Taoist tradition speaks of "incipiencies", tiny bits of easy-to-overlook information that reveal emerging forces that otherwise remain hidden. Perhaps the return of the European Wildcat is one such incipiency?
(I like to think of the Fediverse as an incipiency discovery mechanism.)

in reply to Tendar • • •It is also on this basis that we decided to take part in the exercise organized by Denmark in Greenland. We fully assume this decision, because security in the Arctic and at the outer edges of our Europe is at stake.
No intimidation or threat will influence us - neither in Ukraine, nor in Greenland, nor anywhere else in the world when we are confronted with such situations. Tariff threats are unacceptable and have no place in this context.
