The United States is now functionally equivalent to Nazi Germany in the 1930s.

As of today there is no more "it's going to happen" - it has now happened, fully and completely. The US government has been taken over by ultranationalist authoritarians intent on ethnic cleansing. That should be the headline of every newspaper and news program. Sound the alarm. Sound all the alarms.

A reminder about the prohibitions in the Geneva Conventions against starving civilians, destroying foodstuffs or drinking water installations, or forcing civilians to move away. Here's the text of Article 54 of Protocol I of the 1977 Geneva Convention (alt-text is embedded in the image):

Trump threatens to copy Putin’s Crimean invasion, by using existing US bases on Greenland as a bridgehead to invade the Island — just like Putin sent thousands of soldiers to his Sevastopol base on Crimea to start the invasion.

I am sorry, but I can only conclude the US is now an enemy of The Kingdom of Denmark.

Protesters swarm Trump Tower to rally for detained activist

Denmark has donated 19 of the F-16 fighter jets to Ukraine, and now Trump has ordered an end to US support for their onboard jamming equipment, thereby helping Putin destroy this USD 291,000,000 donation.

This US administration is our enemy, and the sooner our politicians realize that, the safer we are.

The US is ending support for Ukrainian F-16s, but there is a way out

US President Donald Trump's team has ordered the termination of vital support for F-16 fighter jet jamming equipment that Ukraine has. What is important to understand is that this could deprive the Ukrainian Air Force of its most important air countermeasures.

To reinforce and encourage Mastodon as the go-to place for journalism,
we’re launching a new feature today.

You will notice that underneath some links shared on Mastodon,
the author byline can be clicked to open the author’s associated fediverse account,
right in the app.

This highlights writers and journalists that are active on the fediverse,
and makes it easier than ever to follow them and keep up with their future work
—potentially across different publications.

Writers often work with different publishers over the span of their careers,
but Mastodon is the perfect platform to amass a loyal audience that you, as the author, truly own,
and can take with you across the fediverse.

Some of the first websites adopting this feature are The Verge, MacStories, and MacRumors.

If you have an account on mastodon.social and use the web version or one of our official mobile apps,
you will see associated fediverse accounts underneath their articles,
no matter who posts them.

Of course, it’s also part of Mastodon’s API, so we expect to see support among the vast array of third party apps for Mastodon as well.

All Mastodon features are always available to all third-party apps since the API that powers the web version and the official mobile apps is the exact same for everyone

Highlighting journalism on Mastodon

Bloke in MAGA hat on the Tube.
People looking the other way until he asked a lady where was the best stop to get off to see Buckingham Palace and she
said "I'm not allowed to share that information with you anymore"
Some of us laughed, some applauded.
@dbrand666 @juglugs Curious if (no, of course he did) he said BuckingHAM Palace

@dbrand666 @juglugs

OMG Such a perfect reply, on so many levels

@juglugs Why would anyone be so ignorant as to wear a MAGA hat in another country (other than Russia)?

@bouriquet @juglugs
Walking down the escalator in my small town in Australia. Other side, going up, man in t-shirt with
"Trump, my president" on it.

Half a planet away !!! Can't hide.

@bouriquet @juglugs Simple: because they're the kind of person who'd wear one at all. I've seen far too many in Canada.
@bouriquet @juglugs Because they're assholes. MAGAts are mostly just assholes. I've met LOTS of Trump supporters, but very few with those hats. And the ones with those hats are always assholes. Deeply stupid assholes.

@juglugs Laughing? People looking happy on the Tube?

Nah, I call bullshit, never happens.

(It does, though, actually. I've seen people looking happy on the tube twice - during the Olympics, and on the way home from a million-person anti-#brexshit march.)

@taylorlorenz
Great answer.

Better is to say its at Hainault - right outside the station. Doesn't take long to get there on the Central line.

@juglugs
Aye, Buckingham Palace, it is in Cockfosters. It's very simple to get to, what you want to do is ride the Piccadilly line and get off at the final stop.
@juglugs What a contrast with when I visited London in October 2008 and went on the Tube wearing my Obama shirt. Random strangers kept smiling, high-fiving, and asking if I thought he could really win. It was astonishing.

@juglugs There’s another joke: American on the Tube says “London is the asshole of the world”
Brit: “Just passing through?”

@juglugs
She should have told him "Next stop after East Ham for you".
