Report: "US Moves to Block Francesca Albanese's Reappointment, Citing Antisemitism Allegations"

Albanese's position as UN Special Rapporteur is due for renewal this week, & the US has written to Secretary General Antonio Guterres to demand non-renewal.

"We condemn her virulent antisemitism, which demonizes Israel & supports Hamas. She has clearly violated the UN’s code of conduct & is unfit for her role."

#Lesotho puzzled by whopping U.S. tariff rate, which could decimate its economy. “The 50%…trade tariff on the tiny southern African mountain kingdom was the highest levy on #Trump's list… Encircled by South Africa, the kingdom…is one of the world's poorest countries. American exports to Lesotho in 2024 were $2.8 million... US goods imports from Lesotho in 2024 were $237.3 million… the country…was already feeling the impact of the #USAID cuts...’ | CBC cbc.ca/news/world/lesotho-us-t

CBCLesotho puzzled by whopping U.S. tariff rate, which could decimate its economy | CBC NewsLesotho scrambled to put together a delegation on Friday to head to Washington to engage with the United States on tariffs that risk wiping out nearly half of its exports, its trade minister said, in what could be a death blow to its economy.

#SocialMedia is geopolitics, #cyberdiplomacy is critical: #Trump “also reiterated that he would, in particular, be willing to offer #tariff relief for #China if Beijing approved the sale of the US operations of #TikTok”.

When your shadow VP knows how to do foreign interference with their social media, they will likely advise you to get more such weapons.

Platformer · TikTok’s fate could be decided by tariffsTrump is holding out ByteDance's app as a bargaining chip. Will China take the bait?

#Trump's #Tariff and the provoked #market crash

Do appears crazy only if you look at the interests of the 'many', the '#We the #People'
>millions of people will end up in poverty will lose work, property<
but
for the #billionaire ... It is a feast
one opportunity to #buy ALL for pennies
Small businesses, stocks, farms, Homes... a cheep work force.
It is a #Social overturn
a means to impoverish the majority in favor of a minority
a quick way to create a plutocracy and erase democracy.
Got it ?

Should we really leave our phones at home if we go to union rally tomorrow?

I don’t have a Faraday bag, and it won’t arrive on time since I can only purchase it online. I’m not comfortable leaving my phone at home. However, is there a significant risk in bringing my phone with me to the rally tomorrow?

"Der Oberste Gerichtshof hat am Freitag der Trump-Administration erlaubt, 65 Millionen Dollar an Zuschüssen für die Lehrerausbildung vorübergehend auszusetzen, von denen die Regierung behauptet, sie würden Initiativen zur Förderung von Vielfalt, Gleichberechtigung und Inklusion fördern - ein früher Sieg für die Administration vor den Gerichten."

Imagine if I had said to law firms that were representing parties that were upset with policies my administration had initiated, that you will not be allowed into government buildings. We will punish you economically for dissenting from the Affordable Care Act or the Iran deal. We will ferret out students who protest against my policies. It’s unimaginable that the same parties that are silent now would have tolerated behavior like that from me, or a whole bunch of my predecessors."105K likes, 3,117 comments - meidastouch on April 4, 2025: "Obama: Imagine if I had done any of this.

Ich kann die Schlagzeilen und Tröts "Milliardäre verlieren Unsummen an der Börse wegen Zöllen" nicht mehr hören. Wenn das so wäre, würden sie mit all ihrem Geld und ihrer Medienmacht Sturm laufen gegen #Trump. Tun sie aber nicht. Die mehren gerade ihren Reichtum durch Setzen auf fallende Kurse und Kauf von billigen Aktien, von denen sie entweder später nach Kurserholung profitieren oder einfach noch mehr der amerikanischen Wirtschaft in Besitz haben und die Oligarchie vorantreiben.
