#Trump suspended some sales to #China of critical US #tech, including those related to jet #engines, #semiconductors & certain #chemicals. The move is a response to China’s recent restrictions on exports of critical #minerals to the US, a decision by Beijing that has threatened to cripple #US #SupplyChains.
The new limits are pushing the world’s largest economies a step closer toward #SupplyChain #warfare, as the US & China flex their power.

How to protect your phone & data when crossing the US border: “#Canadians crossing the #US border by land and air have reported extra scrutiny and secondary checks targeted at their electronic devices. Here's how to protect your data.”| Canadian Internet Registration Authority (CIRA) https://www.cira.ca/en/resources/news/cybersecurity/protect-your-phone-data-border/?_zs=7skWl&_zl=WnTO3
Never mind Russia, North Korea and Iran, a majority of Canadian citizens now see the neighboring United States as the “greatest threat” to their country.
Fifty-nine percent of Canadians view the U.S. as a major risk.

For-profit prisons have created a “neo-slavery” in the US, according to award-winning journalist Chris Hedges. Inmates work eight hours per day for major corporations such as Chevron, #Motorola, #Nordstrom’s and Target, yet only have the possibility of making up to $1.25 an hour. In addition, companies that provide services like phone calls overcharge prisoners on even the most basic services, making hundreds of millions in profits annually. RT’s Ben Swann speaks to Hedges, who explains how this #shadowy_system came into #existence.

5. #Children of the #Incarcerated | There is no single story that describes what it is like for a #child to have a #parent who is #incarcerated. The experience depends on diverse factors, including the quality of the parent-child relationship prior to incarceration, the degree of household stability following the incarceration, and the child’s age, individual personality and others.
That being said some International human rights advocates have called #parental_incarceration "the greatest #threat to child #well_being in the #US. As of today, 1 in 28 children in the United States have a parent behind bars. For African American children, that number is 1 in 9. The #average term being served by incarcerated parents is 80 months.
Each year the number of children with incarcerated parents continue to #grow as a result of the record prison population in the #United_States. On this edition of #Inside_Out we talk to Shaquille Mualimm-ak, from #incarceratednationcampaign.org about his experience coping with having a parent behind #bars. We also sit down for an in-depth conversation with Author and Professor Alan Singer & talk about the causes and effects of having a parent incarcerated.

"Which Path to Persia?" (2009) by the Brookings Institution, outlines the US foreign policy vis a vis Iran:
https://www.brookings.edu/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/06_iran_strategy.pdf
Transpires that Israel is a conduit for US's imperialistic, hegemonic foreign policy.
Many things have changed since this policy papers were published. What hasn't changed is the US/Israeli aggression in the Middle East. US foreign policy is bipartisan, no change regardless of who sits in the White House

#Trump vetoed a plan by #Israel in recent days to kill the #Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali #Khamenei, 2 #US ofcls told Reuters on Sunday.
“Have the Iranians killed an American yet? No. Until they do we’re not even talking about going after the political leadership," said one of the sources, a snr Trump admin ofcl.
[Jan 28, 2024, three #US service members were killed & 25 injured by an Iran backed militia drone attack on a US base in Jordan, near the Syria border.]
The #Trump admin is imposing #sanctions on the #UN #HumanRights Council special rapporteur #FrancescaAlbanese, an outspoken critic of #Israel's military offensive in #Gaza.

#Trump to abruptly leave a #G7 in Canada a day ahead of schedule to *deal with* [right, cuz he’s so effective at diplomacy] the escalating conflict between #Iran & #Israel, amid Israeli pressure for the #US to intervene militarily to crush Iran’s #nuclear capabilities.
The White House propagandist, Karoline Leavitt, said that Trump left the 2-day summit “because of what is going on in the Middle East,” but did not elaborate.

SpartacusWhen you've been a subservient puppet of the #US for 80 years and suddenly you wake up.
#Denmark wants to defend its sovereignty against the #USA with the US #F35, in which the US can fully control its flight capabilities since it does not give full control of the radar to the countries that buy it but keeps it only for them.
Crystallizing the collapse of the #USA's standing in the world under #Trump in one news item:
"#Myanmar’s military leader lauded Mr Donald Trump... after a tariff letter from the #US President believed to be #Washington’s first public recognition of its rule
General Min Aung Hlaing endorsed Mr Trump’s false claim that the 2020 US election was stolen, and thanked him for shutting down funding to US-backed media providing independent coverage of conflict-wracked Myanmar"
Reporter: Is the US moving closer to striking Iranian nuclear facilities?
TRUMP: I may do it, I may not do it. Nobody knows what I'm going to do. Iran's got a lot of trouble.
[yeah Nobody knows what you’re going to do because you are an unhinged chaotic reactionary crazy person. Also, the number of times this guy says, “I’ve never seen anything like this” he is the personification of the phrase “born yesterday”. Idiot]

Hello World!
I just spoke with a #US #Senator office about the #fediverse . They're asking for more information to help spread around #Capital #Hill in small bite sized easy to understand pieces. I'm obviously going to give them @elena beautiful #movie on the #fedi (with some light editing which she's agreed to).
I'll of course show them https://fediverse.info/ and https://fedi.tips/ which are great websites. I figured I'd give them examples of amazing #AP projects such as #mastodon , #pixelfed , #peertube , #bandwagon , and #bonfire ; even things like @admin .
I'd love to know from folks any EASY to understand projects that best encompass the Fediverse and explanations of it.
What are some projects you'd hand to your friends and family that would explain and display to them what we are?
I'll say this isn't going to happen over night. There's lot of questions around regulations, trust & safety, etc. But I feel it's pertinent to at least get the conversation going, especially considering the current state of disdain for big social media and the impending legislation around these things.
I'll finally state if there's anyone in this list that does NOT want to be involved with this, that's totally fine and I understand and I can exclude you from the materials I give to them.
