#USA #Sanctions on the International Criminal Court
The Details and The Pattern
Since the negotiation of the Rome Statute – the treaty establishing the International Criminal Court (#ICC) – U.S. relations with the Court have zig-zagged between quiet support and open #hostility. With President #Trump’s return to office, we are back to #confrontation.

According to Pat Pilkington of the Guardian, “Federal judges are discussing a proposal that would shift the armed security personnel responsible for their safety away from the Department of Justice (DoJ) and under their own control, as fears mount that the Trump administration is failing to protect them from a rising tide of hostility.”
#Hostility to judges
#lawlessness
It was exactly what South Africans had been dreading, especially after #Trump's televised #hostility towards Ukraine’s leader Volodymyr #Zelensky in the Oval Office earlier this year made headlines around the world.
The US admin has repeatedly slammed #Pretoria for what it FALSELY claims is the systematic persecution of #white #Afrikaner farmers – & the South African side has repeatedly tried to correct Washington. To no avail.

In another sign of the #Trump admin’s #hostility toward the broadcaster, the federal building in Washington that houses the #media organization was put up for sale on Thurs.
Michael Abramowitz, the director of #VoiceOfAmerica, said in an email to his staff on Thurs that the #firings were “inexplicable.”
“I am heartbroken,” he said. Abramowitz has sued to stop the Trump admin from closing the #news organization.

#Labour adopted the #Hostility against #Refugees.
Shame on them.

“Surgeon under investigation over ‘chilling’ video of him tearing down teal’s corflute: This video is a stark reminder of the breadth of harmful misogynistic attitudes across the community.
“What we saw in that video was not just vandalism – it was a chilling display of misogyny and intimidation.”
A spokesperson for Ryan’s campaign confirmed on Friday that a donation made by (Prof.) #GregMalham had been rejected and his money refunded.
Ryan – a #paediatric #neurologist, #researcher and #professor prior to her political career – said the video was deeply concerning, but not an isolated incident.”
The fact that Ryan worked in the same medical field at the same level (ie: Colleagues) makes this a *targeted* action.

The level of #hostility towards #regular #ordinary #taxpayers is #unbelievable! Why allow a #good program to continue. #GOP is an #evil bunch of #thugs, led by the #felon in the #WhiteHouse. All #MAGA are anti-American.

Animosity gets you further, than any other type of #violence ever could.
Stronger than #sadism, #brutality and #contempt, #hostility cannot describe the nature of #disgust that #anonymous #rage, which is what animosity is, can do.
"Trump’s border tsar, Tom Homan, promised “shock and awe” from day one of his administration. Perhaps Becky’s incarceration was political theatre – or performative cruelty. Whatever the reason, in Trump’s America, a tourist who makes a mistake can be locked up, seemingly indefinitely."

PsyPost: Hostile tweets linked to upbringing and legal troubles, study finds. “By linking official government records to the online activity of Danish Twitter users, the researchers found that individuals with numerous criminal verdicts, more time spent in foster care, better performance in primary school, and higher childhood socioeconomic status tended to be more hostile in their social […]
Editorial: A #president just #disrespected America in the #OvalOffice. It wasn’t #Zelensky
It’s time to say it plainly. America’s leadership has switched sides in the war. The #American people have not, and they should speak up.
In the past several weeks, the U.S. leadership has demonstrated explicit #hostility towards Ukraine and aligned its #rhetoric and policy with Russia.

@weebdeluxe Believe me, many of us aren’t happy about it. Thirty years ago, we bought our home on a street three doors away from a bus arterial which started to diminish 10 years ago. Now past retirement age, with limited mobility, I’d planned to ride the bus to my gym in the neighborhood center (and used to when I could walk better). Recent signage has removed the county bus line. With my EV it’s difficult to park near the gym, even with disabled permit.

@TomAoki multiple separate overlapping of-topic discussions are inevitable at times such as this.
Partly off-topic, one of the things that I love about Discourse is the automated cross-referencing (linking) when quoting from one topic in another. Readers can be aware of the spread of things, with zero fuss.
There can be no cure for the few people who will not tolerate Internet links (to external content, beyond the bubble of The FreeBSD Forums).
That aside: a shift from XenForo to Discourse could, slowly but effectively, cure a fair amount of what's problematic – without admin/moderator intervention. True: the most hostile offenders might, in the early months of a transition, abuse the aspects of Discourse through which moderation is automated.
The optimist in me believes that Discourse is mature enough for such abuse to become apparent, and then easily stamped out. Result:
― a better community, for everyone.
Food for thought, <https://forums.truenas.com/>:
― the result of a swiftly executed, effective move from XenForo to Discourse.
