William Spaniel covers the current situation with Greenland and brings some important insight into the whole situation.

It's worth noting that he has a PhD in Political Science. His "research focuses on interstate conflict, nuclear weapons, and terrorism."

He had a quick correction for the video:

Also, correction at 11:45. The fatality value is 0.00006 of GDP, which is 0.006% of GDP. The fun of percentages and not decimals. The overall point remains true, though.

Not just mods, but sometimes even instance Admins. This is one of the main reasons why so many left .ml

Nothing wrong with citing the source.

Definitely watch this statement from him as well:

The video featured in this post (not the fault of @slothrop@lemmy.ca) was edited in a way to make it look like he was making direct threats to ICE.

Closest thing to that is the Consumer Rights Wiki: https://consumerrights.wiki/w/Main_Page

Misleading title, GoFundMe is currently reviewing the fundraisers. The concern here is that the fundraising page has attempted to edit out some of the language that goes against their ToS. It should be obvious what this fundraiser is actually for. I'll withold my judgement until they make an official statement on the matter.

Anyone know how long it usually takes for them to take down a popular fundraiser like this?

From the article:

In an email, a GoFundMe spokesperson told WIRED on Sunday night that it was in the process of reviewing all fundraisers tied to the shooting. “During the review process, all funds remain safely held by our payment processors,” the spokesperson said. “GoFundMe’s Terms of Service prohibit fundraisers that raise money for the legal defense of anyone formally charged with a violent crime. Any campaigns that violate this policy will be removed.”
