On Thursday, August 27, Tolouse Olorunnipa reported on the attempts of Republican lawmakers to restrict the ability of naturalized and dual citizens to run for office.Heather Cox Richardson (Letters from an American)
Anyone inside or outside the US that thinks they're safe relying on American tech providers and financial institutions should consider how quickly and enthusiastically they carried out the diktats of the Trump regime.
Just in the last week, Google changed Google Maps' references from Lake Ontario to Lake America, and Paypal and the Internet Society froze financial assets and domain names of Autistici/Inventati.
You risk instant humiliation, immiseration, and social death at the whims of a corrupt, vindictive, narcissistic dictator. No due process required or given.

Peskov: There are currently no grounds to expect an improvement in relations between Russia and Europe.
According to Peskov, "European countries are mobilizing their military capabilities and directing them against Russia, taking a direct part in hostilities against us."
"We must, of course, remain open to building relations, and we are indeed maintaining that openness, but at the same time clearly understand who we are dealing with," he added.

TRUMP, THE THIEF!
Convicted felon Donald J. Trump announces a U.S.-Venezuela oil agreement that he says gives the U.S. majority control of more than 65 billion barrels of Venezuelan reserves at no cost to taxpayers, more than doubling American oil reserves and lowering gas prices.
Trump invaded Venezuela to take over the head of its corrupt government, then replaced it with his own dirty government.
Trump family grift all over it.

💀USA bedrohen Existenz tausender noblogs-Webseiten💀
Vor wenigen Tagen listeten die USA das Technikkollektiv Autistici/Inventati als Terrororganisation.
Da das Kollektiv u.a. die Plattform noblogs.org betreibt, sind aktuell tausende von Blogs von der Abschaltung bedroht, es häufen sich schon Berichte über die Nichterreichbarkeit.
Ob es dem Kollektiv gelingt die Infrastruktur so abzusichern, dass US-Sanktionen ins Leere laufen, erscheint noch nicht sicher, denn das Schwert der Sanktion ist scharf, vor allem weil die USA explizit Webhosting, verschlüsselte Kommunikation, Videokonferenzen, Streaming und weitere technische Dienste ins Visier nehmen.
Alle die noblogs nutzen, sollten ihre Daten auf jeden Fall sichern, solange sie noch Zugriff haben.

“Canada’s willingness to support research that challenges commercial and political threats to democracy is deeply necessary at a moment where authoritarianism is on the rise around the globe,” said Ethan Zuckerman [@ethanz], who is leaving the University of Massachusetts to become Eddie Goldenberg Research Chair in the Digital Public Sphere at McGill University in Montreal."
Katz- und Mausspiel um A/I?
Technisch versteh ich die ganzen Hintergründe mit DNS-Auflösung etc. nicht wirklich. Die Kontrolle dazu liegt aber scheinbar in US-Hand. Es gibt diverse Posts dazu hier aus Mastodon. Vielleicht kann mich ja jemensch mit einfachen Worten erhellen?
Praktisch sieht es grad so aus, dass die Hauptseiten von A/I autistici.org und inventati.org mal funktionieren, mal nicht. Erstere ist grad down, zweitere aber erreichbar. Ebenso lassen sich alle Blogs bei noblogs.org ansurfen. Meine Emailadresse nigra@canaglie.org, die bei A/I gehostet ist gibt mir beim Versuch zu senden
"Senden der Nachricht fehlgeschlagen.
Die Nachricht konnte nicht gesendet werden, weil der Verbindungsaufbau mit dem SMTP-Server smtp.autistici.org fehlgeschlagen ist. Der Server ist entweder nicht verfügbar oder lehnt SMTP-Verbindungen ab. Bitte kontrollieren Sie die SMTP-Server-Einstellungen und versuchen Sie es nochmals."
und funktioniert also nicht.

Bei mir rattert das seit geraumer Zeit, aber schließlich ist mein Blog auch schon

Hier mal eine schnelle Übersetzung mit deepl.com:
"Heute wurde uns bekannt, dass die US-Regierung ein kleines, von Freiwilligen geführtes Technologie-Kollektiv aus Italien mit unverhältnismäßigen Sanktionen belegt hat, wie jede*r in der Erklärung des Finanzministeriums, der Erklärung des Außenministeriums und der dazugehörigen Durchführungsverordnung nachlesen kann.
Wir weisen alle in den Erklärungen enthaltenen Vorwürfe zurück und bekräftigen gleichzeitig nachdrücklich unser Engagement, eine Plattform mit Werkzeugen zur digitalen Selbstverteidigung bereitzustellen, die dem Bedarf an freier Kommunikation für Aktivisten sowie andere Einzelpersonen, Gruppen und Vereinigungen gerecht wird.
Wir werden nicht nachgeben, wir werden weiterhin das tun, was wir all die Jahre getan haben, und wir werden alles in unserer Macht Stehende tun, um den falschen Anschuldigungen einer politisch verzweifelten Regierung entgegenzuwirken, deren einzige Absicht darin besteht, die Aufmerksamkeit der Menschen und der Medien von ihrer eigenen Gewalt und Kriegstreiberei abzulenken.
Antifaschismus und Antikapitalismus sind kein Terrorismus. Protestieren ist kein Terrorismus. Und jede*r hat das Recht, seine*ihre Stimme zu erheben und für die Menschlichkeit zu kämpfen.
Collettivo Autistici / Inventati — „Socializzare saperi senza fondare poteri“
Bleibt menschlich"
#autisticiinventati #repression #antifa #antifaschismus #antikapitalismus #uspol #solidarirät #anarchie #Anarchismus
Hier ein erstes kämpferisches Statement von A/I zum Angriff des US-Regimes gegen das Tech-Kollektiv:
"Today we were made aware that the US Government has targeted a small, volunteer-run, technology collective from Italy with disproportionate sanctions as anyone can read in the Treasury Department Statement, the State Department Statement and the related Executive Order.
We deny all allegations included in the statements, while we strongly affirm our dedication to providing a platform of tools for digital self-defense, addressing the need of free communication for activists and other individuals, groups and associations.
We will not back down, we will keep doing what we have been doing all these years and we will do whatever is in our possibility to counter the false allegations made by a politically desperate administration with the sole intention of swaying people and media attention away from their own violence and warmongering.
Antifascism and anticapitalism are not terrorism. Protesting is not terrorism. And everyone has the right to speak out and to struggle for humanity.
