@pixelcode@social.tchncs.deEvery dictator guilty of crimes against humanity¹ deserves to be arrested and sent directly to The Hague.
What makes the U.S.' arrest of #Maduro problematic is the potentially disproportionate military strike and the lack of an ICC warrant – the one that Argentina had demanded in 2024.² #Venezuela

@azonenberg@ioc.exchangeFound an old power bill while cleaning up. In the end of 2018 I was paying 9.05 c/kWh for the first 600 kWh and 10.94 above.
Now it's 15.1 and 17.0.
The rate of increase was very much nonlinear though: from October 2018 to October 2024 (six years) the tier 1 rate only climbed by 27%.
It went up 10.5% in 2024 and 20.7% in 2025 alone.

Diplomaten van de VS in Israel hielden in januari 2024 ambtsberichten tegen omdat de beschreven omstandigheden om Gaza niet 'gebalanceerd genoeg' waren.
Maar de regering Biden en de Democraten hadden al moeite hoe met Gaza om te gaan.

@chris@mstdn.chrisalemany.caA nice obituary from December 31, 2024 about my Great Uncle Herman Neufeld (my mom's Uncle).
I never really knew him as I grew up 4000km away... but he had a positive impact on people, especially Jamaican workers, in Niagara-on-the-Lake.
"Herman, who died Dec. 31, became very involved in the Niagara Workers Welcome services and other outreach programs. He considered the farmworkers his friends and neighbours, and treated them as such."

Days later, the Russian asset pleaded guilty to four felony charges, including one count of obstruction, and was sentenced to six years in …
