Internationally, the US is sanctioning individuals they disagree with.

It is terrible.
And the result is a world in which we move farther away from one another, each with our own systems because we don't trust or can rely on one another. It is constant fear.
A few months ago I was talking about it with someone, and it's like a fear that creeps in, a fear that the world we live in and like will be changed by people who feel we have no right to live the way we like, and who can put our life in a straitjacket.@randahl @pascaline yes - this is our modern angst: we know that major decisions about how we live, the opinions we are allowed to hold, where can travel and how our jobs will be organised are being made by some of the worst people on the planet, who have bought our politicians.
It is entirely reasonable that we feel traumatised by it

Internationally, the US is sanctioning individuals they disagree with. This includes judges in The Hague, and here the UN special rapporteur to Gaza, who can no longer access her own bank account, because the Trump regime is abusing their power ower international monetary systems to keep her in The Dark Ages.
No indictments. No trials. All these people are just shut out, because Trump feels like it.
@randahl The regime of petulent terrorists continues to terrorize

@randahl I did not know this was possible. The petro yuan will replace the petro dollar at a more rapid rate, this kind of behaviour is unprecedented!

@randahl if ever there were better evidence that we need to end dollar supremacy, create new payment systems which are independent of Washington, and grow the spine needed to tell the US we aren’t playing their appalling games any more - I’ve not seen it

@randahl The bottom line here is that the US cannot be trusted anymore, and other countries have to disentangle themselves from us for that reason -- which they really should have done a long time ago, but better late than never. In a country where so much can change so greatly with just one election, it's essential to avoid that kind of dependency. We didn't invent any of these tools, such as banking; we just came to dominate them, because other people let us. That must now end.

@randahl Perfect timing to coincide with Doctorow’s latest article: https://pluralistic.net/2026/02/26/hanged-for-a-sheep/

If we don't take care, we'll all end up "living in Epstein's world".
Or, standing up for the victims really means standing up for ourselves now.

@randahl
This what i mean with the real power of the #clubofoligarchs
And may be this is the reason why so many leaders of so many countries are VERY "careful" in their actions.
This *could* be easily upscaled. THAT is the real "elephant in the room", the dependence of whole countries of such digital infrastructures owned by the few. -
