What the F are Finland, Iceland and Denmark so happy about, especially you, Iceland? Trump doesn't know the difference between Greenland and Iceland.

Also, you're living on the same planet as the rest of us. Everything is interconnected. If your tooth hurts, your entire body and mood are affected. It's the same with the planet and everyone on it. Yeesh!

We all know the bad news. Many of us are living it. Best of luck to those who are bucking the trend: "18 nations worldwide (10 percent) are currently democratizing, with large countries such as #Brazil and #Poland continuing their democratization processes. In the majority of these countries, media freedom is improved. #Botswana, #Guatemala, and #Mauritius are the three new democratizing countries identified in the 2025 data." #Democracy #Politics #Autocracy https://v-dem.net/news/press-release-democratic-backsliding-reaches-western-democracies-with-us-decline-unprecedented/
