One of my local cafes has decided it won’t offer Americanos on its menu anymore……

What does Scotland actually need from #Trumperica? Also, China and Japan and Europe LOVE our single malt. We don't need #Trumperica.
#dontbuyamerican the world will trade without America. Be it so. Can’t wait for #trump going full panic mode. #EU should get #ceta and #Mercosur agreements ratified. That’s the answer we need to give! https://www.spiegel.de/wirtschaft/donald-trump-seine-zoelle-sind-eine-kampfansage-an-die-welt-a-91a8363d-1b4c-40d5-9be1-398badcd0bd0?sara_ref=re-so-app-sh
Used the @FediTips guide to change Masto servers yesterday. The server I was on appears to be hosted in the US. Which was making me increasingly uncomfortable. Whereas this one seems to be hosted elsewhere (Canada). I've been trying to decide on a new server for a while, and recent events just tipped it over.

Soz, but when Americans hold the majority investment in a supermarket chain then, to me at least, it's American.
Ach, this is just getting so depressing. Phillips O’Brien once again ringing all the alarm bells. Free to read #Ukraine #StandWithUkraine #SlavaUkraini #DontBuyAmerican

Pretty awful reading, but there are clear lessons! If you are resident but not born in the USA - leave. Now. If you are thinking about travelling to the USA - don’t! And oh yes, #DontBuyAmerican ever.

And this will just keep happening won’t it? Trump’s demands will continually be ramped up. He’s the ultimate bad faith actor

So, I can’t work out how to get it from Bluesky to here, but there’s a clip of a Fox interview with Vance where he describes UK & French troops in Ukraine as ‘20,000 troops from some random country that hasn’t fought a war in 30 or 40 years’.
So much for the non American soldiers who died in Iraq & Afghanistan.
Time to draw up that invoice for military contributions and serve it on USA. If they want transactional politics let’s just do that!
FFS, Beth Rigby on Sky - Zelensky will have to apologise & maybe resign. I am so sick of the framing of all of this. So disgusting

Now making a general call for other small ways to reduce feelings of disempowerment! Ideas anyone? I need to keep this going for the sake of my own wellbeing as well as for solidarity with Ukraine
Further to reducing my feeling of disempowerment I did a wee check of the origin of sweet potatoes on sale in Crieff.
Turns out we have sweet potatoes from both Egypt and USA on sale.
In the Co-op the loose sweet potatoes are from USA
Paradoxically, their bagged ones are from Egypt
However the loose sweet potatoes on sale in the Handy Shop and the Crieff Food Company are also from Egypt
This is a Public Service Announcement on behalf of #DontBuyAmerican
De-Americanizing, a work-in-progress:
•Moved about half of my domains so far to CanSpace, a Canadian registrar. A few more to go.
•Cancelled Netflix, haven’t had Prime or Disney membership in a long time, not renewing SiriusXM.
•just deleted my Waze account, gotta wean off Gmail and delete it
•need a better video host than Vimeo, still looking
•haven’t bought any US food/booze/stuff in the last month
the journey continues…
love to hear what other folks are doing!
Ohhh! J'aime cette idée! Si c'est un produit de marque américaine, on remet à l'envers le premier item en avant sur l'étagère.

@EugeneMcParland Not trying to spam this (but posting selectively elsewhere):
Now that J.D. Vance announced the end of the Atlantic alliance can we start getting this hashtag trending in Europe and the non-Anglosphere?
The wrong response right now is "buy local". The USA wants to export its civil war. We're all going to need allies and reliable trade partners to resist, my country more than anyone given our geography.
