#Hegseth reportedly ordered Ukraine aid pause without Trump's knowledge
The order, issued about a week after U.S. President Donald #Trump began his second term, caused immediate concern in #Kyiv and among officials in Poland, who contacted Washington for answers.
Top national security officials at the White House, Pentagon, and State Department were unaware of the decision and could not respond to inquiries.
The flights resumed Feb. 5, after a three-day pause, following an alleged intervention from U.S. National Security Adviser Mike Waltz,

#Germany hits back at Marco Rubio after he criticized labeling of #AfD as ‘extremist’
“This is #democracy. It is independent courts that will have the final say. We have learnt from our history that #RightWing #extremism needs to be stopped.”
AfD “aims to exclude certain population groups from equal participation in society, to subject them to unconstitutional unequal treatment and thus to assign them a legally devalued status”.
It also said: “This exclusionary understanding of the people is the starting point and ideological basis for ongoing agitation against certain individuals or groups of people, through which they are defamed and despised indiscriminately and irrational fears and rejection are stirred up.”

FBI arrests Wisconsin judge and accuses her of obstructing immigration officials
#Dictatorship
The county circuit judge, Hannah #Dugan, was apprehended in the #courthouse where she works in #Milwaukee,# Wisconsin, at 8.30am local time on Friday on charges of obstruction, a spokesperson for the US Marshals Service confirmed to the Guardian.
Kash Patel, the #Trump-appointed FBI director, wrote on X: “We believe Judge Dugan intentionally misdirected federal agents away from the subject to be #arrested in her courthouse, Eduardo Flores Ruiz, allowing the subject – an illegal alien – to evade arrest.”

I like how on https://tromnews.com/illustrations/ you can see this world represented with illustrations rather than words. And they say a lot.
Ah, so that's where the request to French companies came from:
US embassies to contractors worldwide: Cancel any DEI programs or risk going unpaid | CNN Business https://edition.cnn.com/2025/04/01/business/us-embassies-european-suppliers-dei-intl/index.html
This is going to be "interesting":
The embassy letters have already triggered public responses in Europe.The Belgian government said in a statement that it was investigating “the legal consequences” for the companies that had received the letters.
“The question is not only a matter of principle but also of legal relevance: The US Embassy must comply with Belgian law in its actions. If contracts are terminated merely because a company is committed to diversity and inclusion, this could constitute a violation of the Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations,” the statement said.

How Elon Musk’s SpaceX Secretly Allows Investment From China
As a U.S. military contractor, SpaceX sees allowing Chinese ownership as fraught. But it will allow the investment if it comes through secrecy hubs like the Cayman Islands, court records say. “It is certainly a policy of obfuscation,” an expert said.ProPublica

[l] Verwaltungsgericht Berlin: Schmerzgriff der Polizei gegen Klimaaktivisten war rechtswidrig. Wie reagiert die Polizei? Mit Nebelwerfen und Kleinreden:
Die Polizei selbst spricht von einem "Festhalte- und Transportgriff".
Oh ach SO ist das! Bedauerlicher Zufall, dass er auch auf Schmerzauslösen optimiert ist!
Ja gut, aber wenn das Verwaltungsgericht jetzt entscheidet, dass das rechtswidrig war, dann werden wenigstens die Täter belangt und aus dem Verkehr gezogen, oder? ODER?
Wie die Berliner Staatsanwaltschaft auf Anfrage mitteilte, wurde das Verfahren inzwischen eingestellt. "Den Beschuldigten konnte nicht mit hinreichender Wahrscheinlichkeit nachgewiesen werden, dass sie bei dem Einsatz unverhältnismäßige Gewalt angewendet haben", sagte ein Behördensprecher. Die Entscheidung des Verwaltungsgerichts ändert daran nichts.
Hey, wenn der Trump auf Gewaltenteilung und Recht und Gesetz scheißen kann, dann ja wohl auch die Berliner Polizei und Staatsanwaltschaft!
Polizei ging laut Gericht zu hart gegen Klimaaktivisten vor
Bei einer Aktion der "Letzten Generation" vor knapp zwei Jahren ist die Berliner Polizei hart gegen Aktivisten vorgegangen - zu hart, wie ein Gericht jetzt urteilt. Der Einsatz von Schmerzgriffen war rechtswidrig.tagesschau.de

Swedes launch boycott of US goods in response to recent policy shifts
A series of #boycott movements emerged in response to the #US' recent policy changes, including #Trump's decision to halt support to #Ukraine and the announcement of #tariffs on #Europe, in what the followers believe will place some pressure on the US administration.
The groups are urging members to stop buying major US products, including:
- Tesla
- McDonald's
- Coca-Cola
- Nike
- Levi's
- stop using services such as:
-- Netflix
-- Google
-- Airbnb.
Jannike Kohinoor, creator of the Bojkotta varor från USA group, said she felt compelled to do something despite being a Swedish citizen.

[l] Falls ihr euch gefragt habt, was die "Intelligence"-Partner der USA dazu sagen, dass Trump jetzt Putin die Füße lutscht: Die waren auch eher überrascht und verhandeln jetzt.
The allies, including Israel, Saudi Arabia and members of the so-called Five Eyes spy alliance of English-speaking democracies, are examining how to possibly revise current protocols for sharing intelligence to take the Trump administration’s warming relations with Russia into account, the sources said.
Das muss man ja schon anerkennen. Trump hat die USA schneller zu Kleinholz gemacht, als es jeder ausländische Feind hätte machen können.
As Trump pivots to Russia, allies weigh sharing less intel with U.S.

How Fascism Arrives ...
I sometimes fear that people think that #fascism arrives in fancy dress worn by grotesques and #monsters as played out in endless re-runs of the #Nazis.
- Fascism arrives as your friend.
- It will restore your honour,
- make you feel proud,
- protect your house,
- give you a job,
- clean up the neighbourhood,
- remind you of how great you once were,
- clear out the venal and the corrupt,
- remove anything you feel is unlike you
It doesn't walk in saying, "Our programme means militias, mass imprisonments, transportations, war and persecution."
― Michael Rosen 2014

[l] Fnord des Tages: 2019 wurde ein goldenes Klo aus Churchills Geburts-Palast gestohlen.
The work of art, called America, was taken from Blenheim Palace in Oxfordshire in the early hours of Saturday, 14 September 2019.
Der Wert von dem Ding ist so knapp 6 Mio Euro.
Das ist jetzt in den Nachrichten, weil jetzt der Prozess gegen die Diebe läuft. Sie haben Überwachungskamera-Video.
Wenn du mich vor zehn Minuten gefragt hättest, wo es eine goldene Toilette gibt, hätte ich Trump Tower vermutet, oder vielleicht Dubai oder so.
Update: Es gibt da noch ein bisschen Kontext zu dem goldenen Klo 😀
