The AWS outage just shows that you don't have to have accounts with Amazon (or Google, or Microsoft, or Meta) for them to digitally fuck you up.

We need the EU and the UK to start thinking seriously about digital sovereignty, to be independent of US Big Tech, and to be self-reliant as soon as possible.

"Daniel Garcia-Pena, #Ambassador of #Colombia in the United States of America, has been recalled for consultations by President Gustavo #Petro & is now in Bogota," the Colombian foreign ministry said. "In the coming hours the national government will inform of the decisions taken."

#Trump #US #geopolitics #law #murder #SoftPower #diplomacy

#Trump said #US financial #aid to #Colombia would be cut off & details about the new #tariffs would be unveiled Monday, but it was not clear what funding Trump was referring to.

Colombia was once among the largest recipients of US aid in the Western Hemisphere, but the flow of money was suddenly curtailed this year by the shuttering of #USAID, the US govt's #humanitarian arm.

Colombia currently pays 10% tariffs on most imports to the US, the baseline level Trump imposed on many countries.

#Trump also called #Colombia President Gustavo #Petro an "illegal drug leader" on Sunday, an accusation Petro's govt said was offensive.

Trump's drug dealer comments marked a new low in relations between Washington & Bogota…

Petro has objected to the #US military's strikes against vessels in the #Caribbean, which have #killed dozens of people & inflamed tensions in the region. Many #legal experts & #HumanRights activists have also condemned the #military actions.

#Colombia recalls ambassador from the #US amid tariff, drug spat

Colombia's foreign ministry said early on Monday the country has recalled its #ambassador from the #UnitedStates, after #Trump said he would raise #tariffs on Colombia & stop all #aid payments to the South American nation, in a feud that stems from the US #military bombing boats Trump claims are transporting drugs.

#Trump calls Colombia's #Petro an ‘illegal drug leader’ & announces #tariffs & an end to US #aid

The #US will slash assistance to #Colombia & enact tariffs on its exports because the country’s leader, Gustavo Petro, “does nothing to stop” drug production, Trump said Sunday, escalating the friction between Washington & one of its closest #allies in #LatinAmerica.

Late for my #NoKings photos, busy day yesterday

This is in a suburb of #Rochester #NY #NewYork #RochesterNY

So not the main show center city for Rochester, and Rochester is a minor city in the #USA

It's hard to photograph without elevation: one side of a road of protesters, stretching 1-2 miles in either direction

In one suburban location, of which there were many packed locations around Rochester

Which, again, is a minor #US city

here's a cheap panorama attempt:

While the outlines of the quid pro quo have been public for months, the #Trump admin’s willingness to renege on secret arrangements made with #informants who had aided #US investigations has not been previously reported.

…The deal would give #Bukele possession of individuals who threatened to expose the alleged *deals* his govt made with #MS13 to help achieve #ElSalvador’s historic drop in violence, officials said.
