Holy shit.

Mediaite: Space Operations Command announced on Thursday evening that Colonel Susannah Meyers had been relieved of her command, just hours after it was revealed she had sent out an email disavowing Vance following a visit by the vice president to the space base.

“Colonel Susannah Meyers, commander of Pituffik Space Base was removed from command by Colonel Kenneth Klock, commander of Space Base Delta 1, on April 10, 2025 for loss of confidence in her ability to lead. Commanders are expected to adhere to the highest standards of conduct, especially as it relates to remaining nonpartisan in the performance of their duties. Colonel Shawn Lee has assumed command.”

Mere hours before her removal, Military.com reported that Meyers had distanced herself from Vance in an email to personnel at the space base.

“[I] spent the weekend thinking about Friday’s visit [by Vance] — the actions taken, the words spoken, and how it must have affected each of you,” wrote Meyers in the email. “I do not presume to understand current politics, but what I do know is the concerns of the U.S. administration discussed by Vice President Vance on Friday are not reflective of Pituffik Space Base.” She concluded, “I commit that, for as long as I am lucky enough to lead this base, all of our flags will fly proudly — together.”

I'm unaware of any Fedi service for #KalaallitNunaat / #Grønland and #Panamá - if anyone knows of any please let me know, I'd like to add them to the map.

The people of #Greenland will likely soon be subjected to a torrent of social media information intended to sway popular opinion.

Now is a good time for all communities to put a locally-governed alternative in place to ensure digital sovereignty and language equity.

Local voices must remain independent, safe, and heard.

The admin’s consideration of such a quixotic quest underscores the growing clout of #tech magnates & #Trump’s increasingly expansionist #ForeignPolicy. After campaigning on a largely isolationist platform, #Trump has since his Nov election suggested taking back the #PanamaCanal, annexing #Canada, acquiring #Greenland, & redeveloping the war-torn #Gaza Strip after seizing the beachfront land from displaced #Palestinians.

The vision for #Greenland, one of the people said, could include a hub for #AI, autonomous vehicles, space launches, micro #nuclear reactors & high-speed rail.

The discussions reflect a longstanding #SiliconValley movement to establish low-#regulation cities globally, including in the #US, which #Trump himself promised to do in a 2023 campaign video. Proponents use different names for variations on the idea, …with the common goal of spurring innovation through sweeping regulatory exemptions.

Discussions are in early stages, but the idea has been taken seriously by #Trump's pick for #Denmark ambassador, #KenHowery, who is expected to be confirmed by #Congress in coming months & lead #Greenland-acquisition negotiations….Howery, whose involvement w/the idea hasn't been previously reported, once co-founded a VC firm w/ #tech billionaire #PeterThiel, a leading advocate for such low-#regulation cities. Howery is also a longtime friend of #ElonMusk, a top #Trump advisor.

As the #Trump administration intensifies efforts to acquire #Greenland from #Denmark — or take it by force — some #SiliconValley #tech investors are promoting the frozen island as a site for a so-called freedom city, a #libertarian utopia with minimal #corporate #regulation, three people familiar with the matter told Reuters.

"The protestors want the government’s #HandsOff a lot of things — immigrants, veterans’ #health care, #LGBTQ+ rights, #SocialSecurity, schools, #women, #penguins, the #FirstAmendment, the climate, #Canada, #Greenland and the #Constitution. Signs primarily focused on #DonaldTrump and his billionaire advisor #ElonMusk."

“Between 1966 and 1970, nearly 4,500 Inuit #women, many of them teenagers, had IUDs inserted without their knowledge or consent. This campaign was carried out by Danish to limit #Greenland's population growth and thus limit Danish subsidies. An official inquiry is underway to shed light on this period”

What the #US and #trump will do when world trade adjusts and shuts out the US.

That's a counter to tariffs, the rest of the world will establish new trade ties and the US will be left out.

What will the US do then? #war perhaps?
Invading #Greenland to seize resources is not beyond imagination. Or the US will just act like #israel and become full blown #genocidal warmongering assholes and spark #ww3

Of course #Australia will get roped in on the US' behalf as all politicians here are cowards.
