‘Breathtaking statement’: #European leaders issue joint statement on #Greenland
Leaders from major European powers rallied behind Greenland on Tuesday, saying in a joint statement that the #Arctic island belongs to its people, following a renewed threat by U.S. President Donald #Trump to take over the #Danish territory, #Reuters reports.
“The real question is what right does #Denmark have to assert control over Greenland? What is the basis of their territorial claim? What is their basis of having Greenland as a colony of Denmark?”
- #Greenland has been under #Danish control since the early 18th century [1700s, BTW] but gained home rule in 1979, although #Copenhagen continues to oversee its foreign and security policy.

here in #Denmark, we might not feel urged to take action, when the #US fascist regime attacks a country like #Venezuela, but this might come to our door earlier than we think.
'We need #Greenland': Trump repeats threat to annex #Danish territory"
During the Christmas holiday I again crossed the German-Danish border by train, and of course the #Danish police checked passports. (Don't get me started on the stupid exceptions from the Maastricht treaty)
The police did not even bother to pretend that it would not be #RacialProfiling.
Anyone as pale as me was completely ignored, they didn't even care if you had your passport on you, while everyone with a darker complexion was carefully checked.
It's ridiculous how #racist #Denmark is on an everyday basis, and that's just what I notice as a white European with a very Scandinavian name.

Anyone #Danish here able to promote our website for this great Danish initiative?

#danish seems to be a nice "language"
"Det kimer nu til julefest" (The Happy Christmas Comes Once More) is a #Danish Christmas carol. The lyrics were written by the Danish poet #NFSGrundtvig in 1817, and the music was composed by #CarlChristianNicolajBalle in 1850.

Can anybody recommend good apps for learning Swedish, Danish or Norwegian? I've got some work travel coming up and am half-heartedly considering playing about with learning the basics for one of them.
Bonus points for free content as I'm not committing to this for the long term. I'd just like to get my ear in and have a vague idea of how letters relate to sounds.
Please don't suggest Duolingo.
The last fairy blessed the baby. "I grant you the fortitude of the characters written by the #Danish fairytale master Hans Christian Andersen."
"That's a curse," wailed the baby's mother. "The girl with the red shoes gets her feet cut off! The little match girl freezes to death!"
"But Gerda travels the Arctic & saves her playmate, the little mermaid spares her prince's life, & the nightingale shows the worth of living artists over mechanical ones," pointed out the fairy.
Having found her mischief easier to accomplish than she had thought, Minervie decided to take the extra few days away from Chip as a bit of a vacation. It was the beginning of summer here, where the snow was falling back home.
She decided to ask at the hotel she'd booked, and walked down the stairs to the front desk. The desk man had been trying to sneak a Danish pastry breakfast, and she had essentially snuck up on him. Minervie said, "Excuse me."

The torn papers fluttered in the cold Atlantic wind, drifting down until they landed on the gray water, and eventually disappeared in the wake of the #Danish liner Ruritania.
Lady D’Arcy stood at the railing in a morning dress the color of the waves, dove-gray with white lace foaming at the collar and cuffs. The last of the papers left her hands as another woman joined her.
D’Arcy surveyed the woman’s gown: spring colors—too bright for chiffon, yet not bright enough for sunshine. She dismissed it at once as tasteless. The red hair earned its own judgment. “Undoubtedly Hibernian,” she thought. “Crass.”
“Mademoiselle D'Arcy. Vous vous êtes levée tôt. Peut-être pour saluer le nouveau jour et la nouvelle année?”
The woman’s French was marred by a heavy American accent and contrasted sharply with D’Arcy’s reply. “Un jour nouveau, une année nouvelle, une vie nouvelle.”
“You speak impeccable French, Mademoiselle,” the American said, switching to Albion.
“I am fortunate to have grown up with it. But you, too, have arisen early. It’s my #understanding that that’s the American way. I hear your motto is, ‘The early bird catches the worm.’ L’oiseau matinal… attrape le ver,” she said, letting her tongue linger on ver.

With an earnest smile, "Who are ya?"
She didn't know if it was that smile, his posture, or the baritone of his voice soft as a brown bear that put her at ease. "Ulla Jeppesen."
He squinted, "#Danish, aintcha?"
She nodded.
"And reckon you wanna know the secret of Gunja, eh?"
Her heart beat quick, "Y-yes."
"You ain't gonna believe it but Imma show you" He squinted and looked up, "Come sunset, you'll see." 5/x
