In the US, ICE is now detaining native Americans and accusing them of being someone who does not belong.
You read that right: The immigrants are attempting to deport the natives, accusing them of being immigrants.
If this was a movie script it would be rejected for lack of realism.
The most thought proving article I have read this week:
A Norwegian bus company wants to know if their buses could be abused by China in the case of war.
So they drive two buses deep into a limestone mine to isolate them from the internet and forensically investigate how they work.
In the mine, investigators discover a Chinese kill switch which could destroy all Chinese buses.
In Denmark, that is 57 percent of the bus fleet.

Today, Netanyahu directed the IDF to carry out airstrikes on Rafah after claiming the IDF had been under attack.
In total 45 people were then killed in Gaza.
A peace agreement without international observers on the ground will never work — something a qualified president would have known, had the US elected one.
If you are in the US and have not yet found todays No Kings rally near you, here is the site shows them all.
Please boost this so everyone can show up.
"Thank you… thank you… and thank you… and thank you… and… thank you."
Apple under Tim Cook has abandoned it's liberal values and become a top boot licking brand for the fascist dictator.
Very interesting photos from Danish photographer Malene Thomsen. This sunday, she came across the rare phenomenon of bioluminescent dinoflagellates in the water at the eastern beach on the island of Mors.
Dinoflagellates are marine plankton, so they are single-celled organisms and therefore extremely small. But when you have enough of them, they light up the sea, as the waves come crashing in on the shore.
The article is in Danish, but the pictures are phenomenal.
Yesterday was my first bad day on Mastodon, and what happened to me could happen to you, so let me explain what went down, and how I got blocked by a lot of people.
In March, I wrote a post critical of Musk (picture 1). I then asked another Mastodon user (Harriett) whom I have found friendly, if she would help me translate a Danish phrase to English, and linked to the Musk post where the phrase would be relevant.
But yesterday — 4 months later — that blew up in my face. Here is how…

When I left Twitter for Mastodon, so many people told me I was making a mistake and Mastodon was dead.
It was a difficult decision to switch because I had been on Twitter for 13 years, and I had accumulated over 16,000 followers.
But here we are, two and a half years later, and I am now followed by 17,000 here on Mastodon.
It is such an important milestone for me, because it proves that while the majority will often chose continuity over change, change often wins.
The future is federated!

The president of the US tries to issue commands to airborne pilots of the Israeli airforce… via social media post.
Some day, when historians will attempt to describe our time to future generations, no one will believe them.
In Denmark, The Ministry of Digitalization now removes all Microsoft software from ministry computers and switches to open source in a strategy that has been agreed with all five regions of Denmark.
The more Trump threatens Europe, the more US companies will get the Tesla treatment.
I will not be surprised if the Parliament member iPhones are next.
To please Vladimir Putin, Trump now wants the world to recognize the Ukrainian island of Crimea as Russian.
How would the American people feel, if Europe suggested that to please Vladimir Putin, the US should give Alaska to Russia?
New lawsuit from Tesla owners who are seeing their odometers (🇪🇺 kilometer counters) falsely counting more distance driven to make warranties expire faster and save Elon Musk money.
And they wonder why we choose German cars over American…
I really hope Mastodon is doing something to stop the bot attack, because I am being absolutely firehosed with new empty profiles every day.
They have no text, no profile image, no posts, and look oddly similar.
This looks autogenerated to me.

Trump is slapping 25 percent tariffs on car manufacturers world wide. In Germany for example, 30 percent of Volkswagen cars are sold to the US, so this will likely lead to job losses.
When has the world had enough of Trump’s games?
Mexico, Canada, the UK, the EU, Japan, Australia — we should all team up and put significant tariffs on EVERYTHING from the US until Trump withdraws all tariffs.
When you get frustrated with everything Trump is doing, know this: The crazier, the soner his downfall.
He wants to invade Greenland — it fails.
He wants to tariff Canada — it fails.
He wants to invade Gaza — fails.
He wants to give Ukraine to Putin — fails.
The more he is failing, the more isolated and powerless he will get internationally.
And domestically, because he has gone crazy, the court cases are piling up, and the more he loses, the sooner he will lose momentum.
It will end.
#misinformation
On January 28, Elon Musk was the source of the false information that the USAID had transferred 50 million dollars to fund condoms for Gaza, something which Musk suspected was funding HAMAS.
This claim was used by the Trump administration to justify their freeze on foreign aid.
But it was not true. The USAID had spent 50 million dollars on delivering condoms for Mozambique to combat the spread of AIDS.
Mozambique is a southern African country, some 6,000 kilometers from Gaza.
Picture 1: The new US Defence Secretary Pete Hegseth is visiting NATO headquarters in Bruxelles and pretending the US is the strongest NATO contributor (The US is far behind Poland).
Picture 2: Not having ended the war in Ukraine in 24 hours, and not being able to pull out of NATO like Trump promised his voters, Hegseth renames an army base to show Americans that he is a very powerful decider.
Elon Musk is misleading his 212 million followers into thinking, that Greenland wants to negotiate with Trump about the future of its territory.
The problem is, Musk is using a post from a known fake news website, which completely contradicts the truth, that Greenland’s PM repeatedly has said, Greenland will never be American.
When will the EU stop the disinformation platform X?
In my backyard I have a koi pond. Apart from being a fun pastime, it is also an interesting microcosm of the climate change on planet Earth.
I built it in 1999, and for many years I stopped the pumped water circulation in mid October to avoid pipe damage from the frost. But year by year, I have delayed turning off the pump, as it has gotten warmer and warmer.
This year, my pump is still running, and the fish are swimming around like its spring. They clearly enjoy it, but I am deeply worried.
The House Ethics Committee says, Matt Gaetz spent USD 90,000 on at least 12 different prostitutes and buying drugs, so he could be high on ecstacy and cocaine at sex parties where he committed statutory rape of a 17-year-old.
That is the Matt Gaetz who Elon Musk wants to be “The hammer of justice”.
While Musk is trying to get AfD elected in Germany, Trump is now threatening to put tariffs on all of Europe.
They really do not get how much hurt Europe could cause for them. Tesla, Amazon, Facebook — they are all here!
EU politicians should begin talking about the wonders of putting levies on their energy use, and how we support better working conditions and increased wages.
When Elon, Bezos, and Zuck support a fool, who wants to hurt European economy, remind them it is a two-way street!
Meeting the press in Washington today, German Defense Minister Boris Pistorius announced, Germany would buy 3 more Himars systems from the US, and transfer these systems to Ukraine.
Danke Deutschland! 🇩🇪♥️🇺🇦
Every day, the Russians bomb civilians in Ukraine. And every day the Ukrainians pull their hurt or even dead fellow citizens from the rubble.
And yet, Ukrainians prefer living that way instead of living under Russian rule.
That tells you everything about what Putin has to offer.
Ukraine will win this war, because it is clear, there is no alternative.
