    "Physical attacks accounted for half of all reported public-space incidents this year against LGBTQ people, a sharp rise from 32% in the previous report. Cases of extortion and threats also climbed dramatically, from 3% of reports last year to 13.5% this year.

    The most striking fact: violence has become part of everyday life for many members of the LGBTQ community."

    *** Nefarious Trumpf Junta Pushing to Expand Military Role in Greenland ***

    Excerpted from the NYT :

    The US has engaged in four months of confidential negotiations with Greenland and Denmark regarding the future of the Arctic island.

    These discussions were initiated to resolve tensions following President Trump's threats of a military takeover of Greenland.

    Greenlandic leaders express concern that the U.S. is seeking to establish a significantly larger role on the island, potentially undermining their sovereignty.

    The US is pushing for a 'forever clause' in military arrangements to ensure American troops remain in Greenland regardless of the island's future independence status.

    Washington is seeking effective veto power over major investment deals in Greenland to prevent competition from nations like China and Russia.

    Negotiations include potential cooperation on the extraction of Greenland's vast natural resources, including oil, uranium, and rare earth minerals.

    The Pentagon is actively planning military expansion, including the inspection of infrastructure in southern Greenland for potential troop housing.

    Greenlandic officials fear that meeting US demands would effectively prevent the island from ever achieving true independence.

    Despite official rhetoric stating that Greenland's future remains in the hands of its 57,000 residents, local leaders feel their autonomy is being compromised by these proposals.

    There is ongoing anxiety among Greenlandic politicians that aggressive US attention could intensify if geopolitical conflicts elsewhere, such as in Iran, subside.

    I see the crystal raindrops fall
    And the beauty of it all
    Is when the sun comes shining through
    To make those rainbows in my mind
    When I think of you sometime
    And I want to spend some time with you

    Chorus

    Just the two of us
    We can make it if we try
    Just the two of us
    (Just the two of us)
    Just the two of us
    Building castles in the sky
    Just the two of us
    You and I
