The latest edition of ASPI's State of the Strait tracking China's campaign of coercion against Taiwan

The age-old problem of knowing vs. being the auth credentials;
👉 password: token, that (ideally) only exists in the mind of a person - involuntary extraction requires tremendous #force #coercion #torture!
👉 passkey: token, that a (commercial?) ID provider processes, using WEAK auth methods like fingerprint or face scan.
Since fingerprints, and faces (including 3D-topology), can be copied, or reproduced without consent or knowledge, passkeys are utterly flawed and useless!
All 3 #AlexanderBrothers were accused of trafficking the 1st victim; Tal Alexander was accused alone of trafficking the 2nd.
The new indictment widens the scope of charges against all 3 brothers. It says one or more of the brothers variously used #force, #fraud or #coercion in trafficking the 5 women & the girl, & said the scheme dated back to 2009.

![Heather Cox Richardson Maine Stands Up to Trump and Bondi 4/16/25
Trump has demanded that Mills prohibit transgender girls in the public schools frm participating in girls’ sports. Mills, who was Maine's AG before she became governor, maintains she is bound by the 2021 state law that explicitly protects against discrimination on the basis of gender
identity. ..Trump threatened to withhold federal education funding for Maine unless Mills promised to comply with his ban..she reiterated that “I'm complying with state and federal laws,” ...[ Trump]”You'd better comply because otherwise you're not getting any federal funding.” Mills “See you in court."the administration attacked the state, opening investigations, cutting & then restoring Social Security Administration contracts, & taunting Mills on social media. Friday the Department of Education said it would pull all federal funding for education in Maine..Today the Justice Department sued Maine's Department of Education, & Attorney General Pam Bondi threatened to pull past funding retroactively. Mills said the admin is trying “to pressure the State of Maine to ignore the Constitution & abandon the rule of law.” " “We have been subject to politically motivated investigations that opened & closed w/o discussion, leaving little doubt their outcomes were predetermined. Let today serve as warning to all states: Maine might be among the first to draw the ire of the Federal government in this way, but we will not be the last.”](https://files.mastodon.social/cache/media_attachments/files/114/354/020/167/605/317/original/a4543f32cedd8b9e.jpeg)
Because forced or coerced ‘care’ and involuntary institutionalization has worked so well in the past? These ‘freedom’ types are always so sure they know best for *other* people.

The PRC's Taiwan Affairs Office released a statement about the current PLA joint military exercises around Taiwan
"the joint military exercises... around the Taiwan Island are a resolute punishment for the rampant “Taiwan independence” provocations of the Lai Ching-te authorities, a stern warning to “Taiwan independence” separatist forces"

@HarriettMB I do expect @antidiskriminierung and @AuswaertigesAmt to affirm #AntiDiscrimination #laws and either force the #US embassy & consulates to comply with #Germany's laws or close and cease operations.
If the #USA refuses to acknowledge that, they there is no basis for #diplomacy and I urge #contractors to press charges for #blackmail and #coercion if they get approached to fulfill for such #racist, #sexist, #ableist and otherwise #discriminatory demands because doing so violates national and #EU #laws!
