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.

"You can support a lawyer’s right to represent unpopular clients and causes against powerful forces — essentially the oath we all took when becoming members of the bar. Or you can sit back, check your bank balance and watch your freedoms, along with the legal system and the tripartite system of government we should not take for granted, swirl down the drain." #trump #fascismnytimes.com/2025/03/30/opinion…
Bwahahahaha!!!!
Egg prices at grocery stores in the U.S. have hit record highs, leading the Department of Agriculture to seek egg imports from countires like Germany, Sweden and Italy.

The White House Correspondents Association announced its decision to skip featuring a comedian during its annual dinner. Amber Ruffin was set to perform.
“Ankara is too important an ally to alienate, no matter what happens on the streets of Istanbul, politicians and officials tell POLITICO.
The European Union is set to keep pumping billions of euros into Turkey despite President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan’s sweeping crackdown on political opponents.”
Write him a fucking blank cheque, why don’t you, you spineless, racist blocks of cheddar. And why? Because he helps keeps the Brown people away from our pristine white shores.
I swear the next person who uses the words “European values” non-sarcastically in my presence will wish they’d stayed in bed that morning.
Hey my anti-fascist friends, let's help the Americans. Post your entirely legal, yet extremely annoying solutions for creative non-compliance using the hashtag #creativeNonCompliance
“There was no court reporter and there still is no public transcript or recording of the proceedings.
“Seven of the 11 [jurors] had ties to the fossil fuel industry. Some had admitted they could not be fair, but the judge seated them anyway.” #fascism #greenpeace #climate
Many turbulent years have taught my friends never to make plans. Yet, even after Ekrem İmamoğlu’s arrest, they have hope, says Istanbul-based writer Carolin Würfel
JD Vance tells US troops in Greenland, stationed in that part of the Kingdom of Denmark under an agreement with Denmark, that the US has to gain control of Greenland.

The State Department has said they have revoked visas of more than 300 students. They have been terrorizing hundreds and aim to terrorize hundreds, if not thousands more.
Faculty on here: how are you protecting your international students? Are you connecting with local immigration defense groups? How are you protecting them from being snatched off the street?
The chance of the president succeeding in his radicalism is small, but amid the chaos are challenges to convention that were overdue, says Guardian columnist Simon Jenkins
“A Russian scientist from Harvard Medical School has been detained by US Immigration and Customs Enforcement, according to her friends and colleagues. … Petrova’s boss, Leon Peshkin, said in an interview on Thursday that the researcher had good reason to fear being returned to Russia because she had publicly protested the Russian invasion of Ukraine in its first days, called for the impeachment of Vladimir Putin, the Russian president, and was arrested. She managed to flee, first to the former Soviet republic of Georgia and then to the United States, to continue her research on genomes.”
This Saturday, March 29th, is Tesla Takedown Day, a day of peaceful protest at every US Tesla dealership and as many other dealerships and facilities outside the US as possible.
Here’s a map of planned protests you can join – places, times of day, and so on. They aren’t all at the same time, which might be useful for you. Find one close to you that’s at a time you can make and be there, preferably with a sign. If you don’t want to design your own sign, feel free to print and use one of these, or adapt them to your own ideas. They’re high resolution at 11×17 and plenty good enough at two times that.
The #TeslaTakedown movement is growing! Join us for an event in our community—or find one of more than 100 events every week across the country. And if there's not one near you, it's easy to sign up to host your own. Let's fight for our country!
Just knowing thay this is being done in my country's name with my tax dollars is morally injurious. How do we come back from this? Fuck this silicone genocide barbie! 😭
Guess who did know… Did you guess Obama? Did you guess Biden?
“The plan, apparently backed by the Biden administration and involving US oil giant Chevron would in effect seal Palestinian energy dependence on Israel.
The US approach is consistent with a strategic framework described in a December 2014 report published under the Obama administration by the US Army War College’s Strategic Studies Institute.”
After #Reagan successfully started with the dismantling of higher education for the not-well-to-do as part of #Reagonomics 2), the extremist part of #Republicans called #AmericaFirst in the 1930's and 40's, and now #MAGA are now going a step further by axing primary/2ndary ed., and the #Alignment (#Gleichschaltung) 3) of the #Education system through #MAGA-controlled state bodies.
... The US 🇺🇸 feels like a powder keg and there are many fuses glowing. In fact, the MAGAt|s,--by now the #MoscowAssetsGoverningAmerica--are lighting new ones on virtually a daily basis.
I'm sure your take must be somewhat similar, as you were one of the first to move, so you will get my feelings, even though you might not share the "templates."
I guess, even though I've always thought that these things were going to happen, in a way similar to the Handmaid's Tale, I still've trouble that the movie script seem to resemble a MAGA plan 4 real life more + more on a weekly basis.
In the same way, I'm observing The Next Civil War becoming likelier, but refusing to believe that it is happening.
At which point will there be an outcry of "Enough!" by a critical mass of people?...

When Jason Stanley, Professor of Philosophy at Yale, and Yale historian Timothy Snyder, both of whom have written books like "How Fascism Works" and "On Tyranny", flee the country to a safer one, you can probably start figuring out what your country has become.
Fleeing fascistic/dictatorial regimes had been a last resort for people fearing persecution in the 20th century. It's now happening in 21st century #USA.

“That is, the most likely reason why Trump’s entire national security team was using an insecure platform to plan war strikes was to ensure there were no embarrassing records for posterity, a violation of the law.”
👆 Folks, I’m seeing more of this lately so please, stop. Understand what you’re taking about before spouting off. Signal *is* a secure platform and peddling nonsense like this is only going to make people less secure if they believe it and stop using it. What it can’t do is protect you if you’re clueless enough to add someone to your *secure* conversation who shouldn’t be there.
It's not just that Mike Waltz accidentally added the wrong person to a Signal chat, the cover story Trump has adopted. Trump's entire national security team was witness to an egregious breach that might be a crime. All should resign in disgrace.
We cannot rely on the US to protect or nurture the commons. Think of the US as a giant shopping mall with guns. That’s it. That’s the whole philosophy right there.
We want to safeguard the infrastructure of civilisation, we have to do it ourselves here in the EU before it’s too late. And we can start by acknowledging our own failures and redoubling our commitment to fundamental rights and democracy (and not limit our own potential by having every single decision framed by the fucking “Single Market”).
You want to end up like the US? Then let’s keep going as we are. You want something different? We must invest in the commons, embrace our diversity, embrace equity, and move to an inclusive, post-capitalist existence.
It’s up to us. The bacteria in places we haven’t even visited yet that will survive long after we’ve made ourselves extinct – should that be the route we decide to take (because yes, it is a decision) – don’t really give two shits either way.

🚨 Let’s Encrypt at risk from Trump cuts to OTF: “Let’s Encrypt received around $800,000 in funding from the OTF”
Dear @EUCommission, get your heads out of your arses and let’s find @letsencrypt €1M/year (a rounding error in EU finances) and have them move to the EU.
If Let’s Encrypt is fucked, the web is fucked, and the Small Web is fucked too. So how about we don’t let that happen, yeah?
(In the meanwhile, if the Let’s Encrypt folks want to make a point about how essential they are, it might be an idea to refuse certificates to republican politicians. See how they like their donation systems breaking in real time…)
Wenn Let’s Encrypt plötzlich nicht mehr klappt, wird das halbe Internet aus Zertifikatsfehlern bestehen. https://www.heise.de/news/Nach-Trump-Dekret-Kampf-um-US-Foerdermittel-fuer-Tor-F-Droid-und-Let-s-Encrypt-10328226.html
