Three #US #citizens, ages 2, 4 & 7, swiftly #deported from Louisiana
 The cases have *renewed* concerns that the #Trump admin’s expedited #deportations are violating the rights of both citizens & noncitizens.

3 US citizen #children from 2 different families were deported w/their mothers by #ICE during the early hours of Friday morning. One of them is a 4-yr-old w/Stage 4 #cancer who was deported w/o medication or the ability to contact their doctors….

The #UnitedStates & #Ukraine announced the creation of a new reconstruction & investment fund, formalizing an economic agreement between the 2 that is intended to give the US access to proceeds from Ukraine’s reserves of rare earth #minerals.

The agreement concludes months of fraught negotiations over whether the #US will continue to provide Ukraine w/ #economic & #military support to Ukraine as it tries to broker an end to its war w/ #Russia.

Moron did what now?

#Trump announced a 100% #tariff on #movies produced outside the #US, saying #Hollywood was dying a "very fast death" due to the incentives that other countries were offering to draw American filmmakers.

"This is a concerted effort by other Nations &, therefore, a National Security threat. It is, in addition to everything else, messaging & propaganda," Trump said in a social media post.

[I mean…c’mon, a #NationalSecurity threat?]

That’d be the smart move

Exclusive: #Ukraine considers shift from the #US #dollar to #euro amid #geopolitical realignments

Ukraine is starting to consider a shift away from the US dollar, possibly linking its currency more closely to the euro amid the splintering of global #trade & its growing ties to #Europe, per #CentralBank Gov Andriy Pyshnyi.

In #Mideast, #Trump plans to focus on #business deals, not #geopolitics
Trump leaves Monday for a 4-day trip to #SaudiArabia, #Qatar & the #UAE, a mission that is expected to focus heavily on business deals & new investments from the #oil-rich region. The swing through deep-pocketed #MiddleEast monarchies, Trump’s first major international travel of his 2nd term, is a marker of Trump’s priorities & another sign of his intention to de-emphasize the traditional #US #allies.

Good result?

It will take at least a few weeks before goods are arriving from #China in the #US again, tariffs are back at where they started, people lost a lot of money, trust is completly gone, not one extra factory has been build in the US in the meanwhile

I can keep going but there is only 500 characters..

Trump is the definition of failure

Israel is just killing people who go to get aid from the official Israeli aid operation.

On top of the aid massacres Israel has increased bombings of buildings, tents and notably farming equipment, forcing more Palestinians to consider trying to get aid from the Israelis.

#Putin's #Oil Empire Gets Double Boost

The #US will not back an #EU proposal to impose a price cap on #RussianOil that seeks to curb revenues for Russian President Vladimir Putin's #war machine, acc/to Bloomberg.

#Russia could also benefit from the spike in oil prices following #Israel's attack on #Iran, a major producer of the commodity.

'#PedroPascal had a strong message about the current political chaos in the #US... “Fuck the people who try to make you scared.”

When... asked if they were worried about reentering the #USA... Pascal answered: “Fear is the way that they win.”'

Iterating on my previous post about Pedro ( https://mastodon.social/@benroyce/114402675795361183 ) I would like to declare on Mastodon at this moment my ridiculous gaga super-stan parasocial relationship with Pedro Pascal (/s)
