lol apparently the reason JD Vance's trip to #Greenland was canceled was that they could not find a single person in #Nuuk who wanted to receive an in home visit from the vice president's family.
According to Danish TV they literally knocked on every door in the entire city (not that hard, there's only ~5,000 houses) trying to find someone who wanted an in home visit from Usha Vance... and 100% of the Greenlanders said no.
"Der Spiegel reporters were able to find mobile phone numbers, email addresses and even some passwords belonging to [America's] top officials."
Just wildly speculating here but it feels like if you combine this with the Signal "linked devices" attack, you get a scenario where [someone] might have pwned #MikeWaltz's phone and used their access to publicly embarrass him by adding #JeffreyGoldberg to the group chat.
Former US Ambassador to Denmark Ruffus Gifford is angry, see why .

#TheCryptocalypseChronicles: Pete Hegseth, A Man Of Questionable Judgment
#PeteHegseth's in the news lately because of a "mishap" with a Signal group chat involving possibly top secret information about killing #Houthis. You might think this demonstrates poor judgment.
This is all less surprising if you know that Hegseth is a crypto bro who lost a bunch of money in possibly the most obvious cryptocurrency ponzi scheme in history, #CelsiusNetwork. Hegseth entrusted the group of Russian Israelis running #Celsius with his hard earned money *even after* the CFO of the firm was sent to prison in #Israel for #moneylaundering and organized crime connections.
tl;dr Maybe America should reconsider putting crypto bros in charge of the military.
Retoots appreciated.

Has everyone in the US realised that because of Republican voters, their country has just lost all the international stature and credibility it has amassed since their ancestors entered World War I? It doesn't matter who wins the next presidential election. The one after that may still deliver another insane Republican populist who is fun to watch on TV. We simply can't trust that country's citizens any more.
People keep talking about US politics like this was all "so fast," but some of us saw this coming back in 2015. He was always going to form a fascist government. Certain forces held him back in the first time, but it was very clear they weren't going to do it or weren't going to be present in the second. It wasn't "fast." It's just culminating. *We* should have been faster in our response.

Why is Hungary still in the EU?
They're still working with Russia, China and other antidemocratic ghouls, so I'm not sure kicking them out would change much. At least cut off the money and limit their power??
#HowardLutnick is claiming he has sold 1,000 permanent US residence permits for $5 million each (Trump's "Gold Cards") to the world's wealthiest kleptocrats, oligarchs, and crypto bros (though he doesn't describe them that way).
note that these people will be able to live in the US but (unlike US citizens) will not have to pay taxes on their foreign income.
you should expect america's billionaires to start "emigrating" to other countries and "coming back" as Gold Card holders for tax reasons.

Hi everybody! Next Monday we're launching an article on Digital Sovereignty, and why it matters to Europe.
The article aims to give an overview of Europe's over-reliance on critical services and infrastructure to meet its demands, some examples of why this is problematic, and which actions have been taken so far.
See you around, and waiting to hear your thoughts!
New Privacy Guides article 
by @jonah :
With the political changes
happening in the United States right now,
You might be seeking Europe-based tech alternatives to trust your data with.
Moreover, if you are an organization dealing with data from Europeans, it could be wise to start the move for GDPR compliance now, in the eventuality the EU–US Data Privacy Framework it relies on were to change...
Whatever the reason,
you can check some of Privacy Guides' recommendations in this excellent article-list by Jonah: https://www.privacyguides.org/articles/2025/03/19/private-european-alternatives/
[Via Euronews: Fact check: Can Canada apply to join the EU?]
Short answer: no, because it isn't located in Europe.

Financial Times piece on $1.4 billion in shaky accounting on #Tesla’s books is… whoah.
Due to the reality of British libel laws and #ElonMusk’s propensity to sue his detractors i have to assume this is one of the most heavily legally vetted and fact checked things you will ever read. (Also not unreasonable to suspect there might be other tidbits of information the lawyers wouldn't sign off on being published - that happened a *lot* with FT's Wirecard investigation)
p.s. the FT reporter is #DanMcCrum, whose decade long crusade to take down the #Wirecard fraud is one of the more insane stories you can read on the subject of accounting based forensic journalism (McCrum wrote a book about the experience called “Money Men”). Trust me, it's more exciting than it sounds. There's Russian spies and shit.
