Danish travel company Albatros ends all travel to the US. Chairman Rasmussen:

"We sincerely love the US and its people, and look forward to returning once the US elects a leadership of decency, respect and responsibility.

When Trump explains his aggression towards Greenland with security, he reveals himself as a compulsive liar.
[…]
Trump and his cronies' treatment of president Zelenskyy, the hideous pressure on Ukraine and the indecent cowering to the Russian psychopath speaks for itself."

At the Uni today I was asked:

If I think the US will keep having elections
Who the leader of the opposition party is
Why the US opposition party is silent

And one person commented it's probably better older family had passed because they'd survived hitler and "seeing this again" would be too much

🚨 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?

I think it's an especially useful guide for US citizens who don't have immigration considerations.

"This interview is a reflection on the successes and missteps of the Koreatown Popular Assembly (KPA), an attempt at neighborhood based organizing that existed from 2016-2022 and aimed to confront the first Trump administration’s deportation policies. With Trump now back in power, many are once again looking for models to defend themselves and their communities from an even more rabidly anti-immigrant agenda."
