The U.S. Citizenship & Immigration Services “upholds America’s promise as a nation of welcome & possibility with fairness, integrity, & respect for all we serve,” the new mission statement says.
Before, the agency was described as “administer[ing] the nation’s lawful immigration system, safeguarding its integrity and promise by efficiently & fairly adjudicating requests for immigration benefits while protecting Americans, securing the homeland, and honoring our values.”

Germany’s foreign minister has hired a new climate (!) envoy: the American (!!) head of Greenpeace (!!!) who has lived in Germany since 2003 - and isn’t even a German citizen.
I have lived and paid taxes in San Francisco for about the same time - and I can't even vote in local elections that immediately affect my life. Maybe I should have gone into politics?
The latest from Germany: an activist group called "Last Generation" claims that Germany will run out of food in 20-30 (!) years and want to force politicians to pass laws that prevent this. And climate change.
This video is in German, but jump to 10:47 to see the madness. Blocking/gluing themselves to freeway exits, ambulances and doctors be damned.
My compassion is somewhat low, this is the ideology that Germans voted for last year.

Mastodon and most other Fediverse platforms display posts chronologically, without any algorithms.
On your feed you will see all the posts from all the people you follow, in the order they posted them.
Because of this, if you post something important you may want to boost it again later in the day so that people in different time zones have a better chance of seeing it.
I have been gaming since 1992 and building PCs since 2003. I enjoy Linux, supporting FOSS projects and am a tinfoil hat connoisseur.
