The (forced) disappearance of cash continues, but I wonder what would happen if you turn up at a card only premises, eat their food & then only offer cash?
They will say card only, but you are offering legal tender;
They might say you have consumed food without the means to pay, but you have the legal means to pay.
Would they call the police & how would this be litigated I wonder?
Just needs a group to organise this sort of action, and we might find out?

It is the complete opposite of Europe, where everyone has the same rights, no matter which citizenship.
No! Stop spreading misinformation.
Non US citizens have rights in the US and what the US state does is illegal on multiple levels.
Saying that non us citizens have no rights suggests that the US state is operating legally, which they are not. They are a Unrechtsstaat.
First of all all people in the US have human rights which the US has to follow.
And then you have here a good list of non us citizens rights:

Wat te doen tegen Trumps tarieventerreur, die elke economische logica tart?
Europa sloeg deze week direct terug toen Trump zijn tarieven op staal en aluminium afkondigde. Andere landen deden dat juist niet. Wat is wijsheid?Tjerk Gualthérie van Weezel (DPG Media)
Even raden. Schelden en hetzelfde tarten van de economische logica zelfs nog met een erger graadje erbij humanitaire misdaden?
Dat iemand die non-logica' nou zou geloven kan ik nog volgen. Heel wat bedenkingen op maar men gelooft wel meer zotte zaken.
Maar hoe verdraait is men dat men enerzijds beweert dat het bij Trump zotheid is en anderzijds bij zichzelf wijsheid en de oplossing? Daar is helemaal niets logisch aan hoe men dat ook denkt te verantwoorden.

RFE/RL President: Defunding Would be “Massive Gift to America’s Enemies”

Adolf Hitler and the Nazi regime systematically targeted and reshaped key institutions—including healthcare, education, research, law, and civil service—to align with their ideology and consolidate control.
The Nazis didn’t just seize political power—they corrupted institutions to enforce totalitarianism. Parallels to modern threats often focus on how democratic safeguards (free press, independent courts, academic freedom) are eroded step by step.

A mass rally against Prime Minister Viktor Orbán was held in Budapest.
The protest was organized by the opposition Tisza party. The leader of the political force, Peter Magyar, announced a public movement—a survey of Hungarians with 12 questions. This is a response to Orbán’s 12 demands to Brussels. One of the conditions was “Union without Ukraine.”

Cool testing of Tesla’s vision-only system versus LiDAR, showing experimentally the superiority of the laser-based sensing technique.
Musk said “Anyone relying on LiDAR is doomed" but turns out that Waymo has a far superior track record than Tesla, and has entered commercial service with far superior technology. This claim was about margin preservation for Tesla (given price of LiDAR sensors), not safety.

While the Trump administration has prevented the UN and NATO from even using language that could offend Putin, Trump now orders a military attack of "overwhelming lethal force" against the Houthis, who are backed by Iran, who is Putin's ally — the guy who Trump thinks he has a "promising" dialog with and is very eager to meet.

Google are breaking my mittens - Sonofa. Twelve years ago I knitted a pair of “self-replicating mittens” (web-goddess.org/archive/14046) with a QR code that pointed you to the pattern for the mittens, and I entered them in the Sydney Royal Easter Show. I was pretty proud of my cleverness. In the blog post (web-goddess.org/archive/11192) where I talked about making the mittens, I said:
I wanted my code to be as simple as possible, so I needed to use a URL shortener to mask my intended address. I settled on using Google‘s, reasoning that it was likely to be around the longest. (Though who knows these days, right?)
You can guess what’s happened, right? Google URL Shortener links will no longer be available (developers.googleblog.com/en/g…) as of August this year.
