We are in the middle of watching a series of shamelessly corrupt courts declare Trump free to commit felonies with impunity. So yes, I have very, very little faith in American institutions as currently constituted.
I donate a monthly amount to UNRWA and have been doing this since my government criminally withheld support of this crucial relief organisation.
It's never enough, but all bits help. Please consider a donation, thank you.

Israel’s war on Gaza live: UNRWA headquarters in Gaza ‘flattened’
Israel’s latest ground campaign in Gaza City rages as UNRWA chief says HQ’s destruction violates international law.Lyndal Rowlands (Al Jazeera)
@modulux It feels frustratingly little, but it does make an impact. The Dutch state donated €19 million in 2023. If ~65,000 Dutch people would donate €25 a month, we'd already cover this completely.
I was hoping my party would organise a campaign along these lines, but instead we recently decided a blank anti-UN position at our recent congress. I'm sure the people in Palestine appreciate this principled position..
A... what...
This is extremely unwise. Sure, the UN has tons of problems, but UNRWWA is the only organisation that has access and capacity there...

In case you wonder: "SkyTube Extra" will disappear from the #IzzyOnDroid repo with the next sync as it no longer meets the inclusion criteria (gitlab.com/IzzyOnDroid/repo/-/…). For details, please see github.com/SkyTubeTeam/SkyTube…
(the major culprit is the integrated self-updater with an update checker that cannot even be disabled. Such "updates" would bypass the extra checks established in the IzzyOnDroid repo – so if they're not opt-in with the implications made clear, they're a no-go)

Today, chatting on IRC, the topic of decorative fruit came up. I recently read that lemons, at least in Spain, were decorative originally, and only later people worked out they could be eaten or used for flavouring food.
Someone else pointed out a similar situation took place with pineapples in the UK and posted this fascinating article about it: bbc.com/news/uk-england-534328…
Pineapples were a status symbol, and were so expensive they would be exposed for show rather than eaten, until they rotted. There were pineapples for rent, and they required security and were at risk of theft.
What a world.

For a couple of centuries, the British were in an unlikely frenzy for the exotic fruit.By Bethan Bell (BBC News)

As expected, judge Cannon dismisses the classified documents case against Trump, after the supreme court hinted how she could do so.
Right this moment, we are witnessing what the future dystopian United States looks like: One law for you, another for the Emperor.
May American voters be wise enough to spot the trap they are about to walk into, before it is too late.

It's posted on Reddit to make it easy for folks to engage in conversations. So I invite you to participate there if you want to. But please remember that Mozilla Employees with a fancy green badge on that subreddit are humans, too. 
@narinarinari Every time we put anything in front of the user after any updates, y'all on social media go full rage mode, too. No matter how we handle this, there's always a large group of people yelling at us.
Bobby explained in his Reddit post why we decided to make this opt-out. If you disagree with that, that's your good right. I can't convince you otherwise, and if you want to act like this is a big conspiracy, so be it. Nothing we could say will change that.

Here's the thing: Trump *is* an authoritarian who wants to destroy democracy. This isn’t a smear, it’s a fact. That Trump got shot doesn’t change the necessity of him being defeated at the ballot box, nor does it absolve him of his past misdeeds.
