Much thanks to the Icelandic National League of the United States for hosting a great conversation with Iceland's Ambassador to the United States, Svanhildur Hólm Valsdóttir. @MFAIceland @IcelandInUS Check it out here: youtube.com/watch?v=ERiljDoI…

This is what fascist propaganda looks like

Ladies and gentlemen, your daily drip of fascist propaganda. (Apparently Americanism isn't the only thing Secretary Chaves has been embracing)
The future belongs to the Patriot. Embrace Americanism.

It would be cool if he ran this country before running Venezuela, Columbia, Cuba, Panama, and Greenland.
President Trump is the most America First President we’ve ever had. From taking action to protect our nation abroad to delivering for our Workers at home, he’s committed to always putting our country’s best interests FIRST 🇺🇸

Nothing better than watching reality become parody in real time.
Am I supposed to believe he is a high testosterone male?

One way for the U.S. to "get" Greenland is to declare that it already "has" Greenland. What does the Trump Administration need to do in Greenland that it cannot already do? (besides build a tacky casino)
Op-Ed from @ShayGal84: Washington has stopped joking about buying the world’s largest island and is building leverage the slow way - through diplomacy, money, bases, and narrative - while insisting it will "get #Greenland one way or the other" #Annexation highnorthnews.com/en/greenla…

This was great. I wish it started a day earlier so that it did not overlap so many other sessions at Harpa.
Thank you to all who joined the Business Forum and business sessions at the Assembly! ❄️ Insightful discussions on investment, innovation, energy, shipbuilding, AI, space, infrastructure, the creative economy, and mining in Greenland 💡 #ACBF25

Can't wait for billionaires to tell me what is "center-left, center-right" journalism.

Wait, You mean you did not get your medical advice from the internet?
In a previous life I was a professional fireman as well as a member of the military; was required to take many vaccines. To quit would have felt like turning my back on my brothers & citizens we swore to protect. Opposite of 'leave nobody behind' #mepolitics

Replying to @DJSnM
@DJSnM dying to hear your take on the now mainstream UFO reports and how this impacts the development of current technology. Does it make sense to invest billions in chemical rockets when there is even a small chance that these things exist?
@mainedot is it your intention that nobody ever come or go from the city of Portland anytime in the near future?
Replying to @Erdayastronaut
@Erdayastronaut Question about Boca Chica: how prepared are they for hurricanes? Seems like they are in the cross hairs and those hangers seem a little flimsy.

Friendly reminder that you can always scroll by a social post without saying a word!☺️ For reference, this was on a post about the Beatnik movement. Literally a post saying what it was and some notable names. Because I am a human who covers history, not just space.
Just can't get into the AC. Can't relate to foiling and dudes who's only purpose appears to be maintaining hydraulic pressure in the lines. I'm curious how you identify with it.
Oprah interview with Meghan and Harry followed by @americascup. What a night!
