Berlin is deporting four foreign residents after their participation in protests against Israel’s war on Gaza. Three are EU citizens, including two from Ireland.

The deportation orders are unlawful, but Berlin’s senate is going ahead anyway.

We tried to become an official so-called "Warnmultiplikator" in #Germany to get official API access to emergency alerts, but we have failed with it for now. We wanted to share what we learned about the German infrastructure, the responsibilities, and the requirements for "Warnmultiplikatoren," so we wrote our first blog post.

A German Thru-Hiker Has Been #Detained, #Deported, and #Banned From the US Without a Hearing

source: thetrek.co/a-german-thru-hiker…

Ananias says she was separated from her American boyfriend, shouted at and mocked by US border officials, and detained overnight in a cold, shared holding cell without access to medication. After 22 hours of incarceration, the hammer fell: despite having broken no laws and holding the same valid B2 visa under which she previously hiked the #PCT and #CDT, she was deported back to Germany and handed a five-year ban on re-entering the United States.

I would die of embarrassment but in the US they make you Secretary of State after a mistake like that.

A second German tourist was held in a detention centre after having his Visa revoked by the U.S.

Sielaff is back in Germany after being held for two weeks without cause or explanation.

Jessica Brösche, a German tattoo artist who spent 8 days in solitary confinement without a pillow or a blanket, is still being held. She’s been detained for six weeks.

The U.S. is not a safe place to travel anymore.

Vote with your dollars (and your feet!) and go literally anywhere else.

This is especially applicable to my fellow Canadians. Don’t risk your freedom or support the economy of a country whose leader is threatening to annex us.

The European search engines (and competitors) Ecosia 🇩🇪 and Qwant 🇫🇷 are joining forces to build their own European search index!

And the best part? It'll be open and available to all of us!

This is great news for other small search engines, start-ups and the AI industry, as they'll now have the chance to use this index instead of the ones offered by Microsoft and Google.

Another old photo from close to my former home, taken while testing out my new ND filter at the time. This small lake in the woods, with its little island at the center, is always a beautiful spot—whether you're watching the sunset or just passing by on a walk or run.
