European visitors now need an entry permit to visit the UK.

Travellers from Europe will now need a digital Electronic Travel Authorisation (ETA) permit.

The permit can be purchased online for £10 (12 euros) until 9 April, when the price will rise to £16. The UK government follows other countries in seeking to strengthen immigration security by screening people before they cross its borders.

Granica Polsko-Białoruska, prawo do azylu.

No hejka, jak tam się żyje w tym pięknym kraju?

Za Grupa Granica z #Instagram:
"Chłopak mówił, że ma 17 lat. Gdy miał 5 lat jego ojciec został zabity. Został wychowany przez mamę i babcię, które uzbierały pieniądze na jego podróż do “bezpiecznej” Unii Europejskiej. Rodzina pochodzi z mniejszości prześladowanej w Somalii. W Białorusi doświadczył potwornej przemocy. Spadł z muru granicznego. Zanim zabrała go karetka polscy funkcjonariusze jeszcze spryskali go gazem. W szpitalu nie mógł wstać, nie był w stanie jeść ani pić po tym, jak głodował przez wiele dni w lesie. Zadeklarował wolę ubiegania się o ochronę międzynarodową w Polsce. Spędził na SORze kilka godzin, odebrała go SG, po czym dowiedzieliśmy się, że został spushbackowany.
Nowa ustawa o zawieszeniu prawa do azylu jest niehumanitarna i antyludzka – ale praktyka jest jeszcze gorsza. Nawet według nowych przepisów chłopak miał prawo do przyjęcia wniosku o ochronę międzynarodową z kilku powodów: prawdopodobnie był małoletnim bez opieki (nie mamy możliwości weryfikacji wieku, to zadanie SG), wymagał szczególnego traktowania ze względu na stan zdrowia.
Funkcjonariusze SG arbitralnie i wbrew prawu dokonali pushbacku.
To bestialstwo. "

"While CBP said it only searched about 47,000 devices of the 420 million people who crossed the US border in 2024, experts the Guardian spoke to say border enforcement has been unpredictable under the Trump administration, so figuring out whether you’re at risk of a device search is not as straightforward as it once was. French officials said a French scientist was recently turned away at an airport in Texas because immigration officers found texts that were critical of Trump on his phone.

“The super-conservative perspective is to assume they are completely unhinged and that even the most benign reasons for travel are going to subject non-citizens to these device searches,” said Sophia Cope, a senior staff attorney at the Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF), a non-profit digital rights group.

If you’re a US citizen, you must be admitted into the country. That said, some jurisdictions allow CBP to work with the FBI or local police to advance domestic investigations, so there are still some risks of your devices being searched for domestic reasons.

There are steps you can take to make it harder for CBP officers to access your device and the data on it. So what should you do to protect the data on your phone from being searched? The main thing is to prepare ahead of heading to the airport. Here is what you should be thinking about:"

#AIConversation: a #conversationwithdeepseek 70b:

Q: what would you say, why did the #Ukraine #conflict escalate and what to do to #deescalate it?
<think>
Okay, so I need to figure out why the Ukraine conflict escalated and how to deescalate it. Hmm, where do I start?

I remember that the conflict has been going on for a while. It started in 2014 with some protests, right? That's when #Crimea was annexed by #Russia. But now it's gotten much worse since
February 2022 because Russia invaded Ukraine more aggressively.

Why did it escalate so much this time? Maybe there are deeper reasons. I think it has to do with historical ties between Russia and Ukraine. They were part of the Soviet Union
together, so there's a lot of shared history, but also some tensions, especially over Ukrainian independence.

Another thing is #NATOexpansion. After the #ColdWar, #NATO started including more Eastern #European countries. #Russia didn't like that because it felt threatened by #military #alliances
getting closer to its #borders. So when #Ukraine considered joining #NATO, maybe #Russia saw that as a direct threat and decided to act.

There's also the issue of pro-Russian #separatists in eastern #Ukraine. Since 2014, they've been fighting against the Ukrainian government, and Russia has supported them. That ongoing
#conflict probably kept tensions high and made things worse over time.

In terms of deescalating, I'm not sure what can be done. Maybe a #ceasefire would help stop the immediate #violence
But how do you get both sides to agree?

They might need some kind of
#mediator or #peacetalks facilitated by other countries or organizations like the #UN.

#Economic #sanctions were imposed on Russia because of their actions, but maybe easing those could be an incentive for deescalation.

Though I'm not sure if that would work without other measures in place.

#Ukraine's #sovereignty is really important here.

They should have the right to make their own decisions about alliances and security without interference from bigger powers like Russia
or NATO.

I think a long-term solution needs to address those underlying issues, maybe through #negotiations where both sides can express their concerns. But it's complicated because there are so
many historical and political factors at play. Plus, you have external actors involved, which might make it harder to reach an agreement.

Overall, it seems like the conflict escalated due to a mix of historical tensions, security concerns, and internal Ukrainian politics.

#Deescalating would require careful diplomacy, possibly involving third parties, to find a compromise that respects Ukraine's sovereignty while addressing #Russia's #fear about #NATOexpansion.

</think>

The Ukraine conflict has deepened due to a complex interplay of historical, political, and security factors. To deescalate, a multifaceted approach is necessary:

1. **Immediate Measures**: Implementing a #ceasefire under international mediation can halt the violence. Organizations like the #UN could facilitate this process.

2. **Diplomatic Engagement**: #Peace talks involving Ukraine, Russia, and mediators are crucial. These should address security concerns, including NATO's expansion and regional
stability.

3. **Economic Incentives**: Easing sanctions on Russia might provide an incentive for deescalation, contingent upon reciprocal actions from Russia.

4. **#Sovereignty #Respect**: Upholding Ukraine's right to #selfdetermination and international relations is essential.

5. **Long-term Solutions**: Negotiations should consider historical ties and political tensions, ensuring a balance between Ukraine's autonomy and regional #security dynamics.

In summary, #deescalation requires careful #diplomacy, addressing both immediate concerns and underlying issues through mediated talks and mutual incentives.

Driving down the street here in Duluth, MN and saw a billboard that read - in bold white letters on a black background - A TARIFF IS A TAX ON YOUR GROCERIES. I checked who had paid for the message. It was bought by the Canadian government.

While I wish the situation were different, I love the moxie. I have no notes. Please just don’t make the same mistake we did. #elbowsup #canada #minnesota #borders
