British ICC chief prosecutor lost access to email and has bank accounts frozen after Trump sanctions on top court
Trump imposed strict sanctions on the ICC, the highest criminal court in the world, after a panel of judges issued arrest warrants for Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his former defence minister Yoav Gallant in November. Judges found there was reason to believe that the pair may have committed war crimes by restricting humanitarian aid and intentionally targeting civilians in Israel's campaign against Hamas in Gaza - charges Israeli officials deny.
One reason the the court has been hamstrung is that it relies heavily on contractors and non-governmental organisations. These businesses and groups have curtailed work on behalf of the court because they are concerned about being targeted by US authorities, according to current and former ICC staffers.
Microsoft, for example, cancelled Mr Khan's email address, forcing the prosecutor to move to Proton Mail, a Swiss email provider, ICC staffers said. His bank accounts in the UK have been blocked.

Dieses "Defizit" kann man doch locker ausgleichen:
1. Bürgergeld kürzen
2. Einzelhandelspreise hochtreiben (siehe Kaffee etc)
3. Co² Steuer erhöhen (nicht für die Industrie !)
Was ist eigentlich mit der Weinsteuer ? Ich schätze mal, dass trifft dann die Falschen (die Oben), also geht das nicht.
Wie wäre es, die Verteidigungsausgaben nur um 4 % zu erhöhen, ganz egal was dieses #TRUMPeltier fordert.

Today, I’m sharing a new card on my shop: a Bluethroat. These birds are found in Europe all the way across the Palearctic to Alaska.
I had an older version included in literally *the* first pack of bird greeting cards I’d ever made, but this new update is now available as an individual card.
goimagine.com/bluethroat-singl…
BUT—here’s a new feature—I finally set up my art shop to enable folks to select six cards and get one of those cards free. So essentially, you can design your own packs of single cards (from the 130 in my shop) and pay less.
Now I know—“Six greeting cards for $30?! That’s cray cray! I can get them so much cheaper somewhere else!” Yep. You can.
But these are painted, printed, packed, and posted by me (the artist) personally. These are Human-Made cards with Human-Made art, done by an independent artist keenly interested in helping people make connections with each other.
For me, this is more than sales or profit margins or giant corporations riding trends and hokey celebrity meme cards. I could do the lowest common denominator and make more money with stolen generated image schlock.
This is not that.
And these cards are not for folks who can’t tell or don’t care about the difference.
Where the art comes from that you share with others matters.

Helen made an excellent choice. Denim is sturdy, but it wears in beautifully. It comes in every shade, but the indigo ones are the best. And it's so satisfying to finish it with beautiful topstitching. Here are some of Helen's denim me-mades:

The image depicts the interior of an airplane with passengers raising their hands. In the foreground, a man in a black shirt stands in the aisle, raising his hand. Behind him, numerous passengers in various seating positions also have their hands raised. The airplane's overhead compartments are open, and the seats are visible, with some passengers seated and others standing. The cabin is well-lit, and the seats are arranged in rows. The text at the bottom reads: "These smug humans lost touch with regular passengers like us. Who thinks AI 'fly the plane?'" The artist's signature, "W.McPhail," is visible in the bottom left corner.
