front page joke/spoof 16+ our instance?

Seeing as many countries are readily accepting Nazi laws to verify your internet usage, we should front page spoof our instance to say that if you're under 16, you need to tell your guardians to refuse these Nazi laws by force, and where to find resources in case the guardians are FOR them, to find help etc. like the Trevor Project.

Have a subsection for “If you're trans, and your guardians refuse to support your transition, here are futher resources” with links and advisories.

If you mark you're 16+, “here are direct resource you can act.”

“Check this box to ignore this silly parody.“

And have a big “🖕 Yoti

Trump says he's sending 5,000 more troops to Poland, stirring confusion about US presence in Europe

President Donald Trump on Thursday said the U.S. will send an additional 5,000 troops to Poland, stirring confusion following weeks of changing statements from Trump and his administration about reducing — not increasing — the American military footprint in Europe.

The Trump administration has said it was reducing levels in Europe by about 5,000 troops, and U.S. officials confirmed about 4,000 service members were no longer deploying to Poland. Trump’s social media announcement raises more uncertainty for European allies that have been blindsided by the changes as the administration has complained about NATO members not shouldering enough of the burden of their own defense and failing to do more to support the Iran war.

“Based on the successful Election of the now President of Poland, Karol Nawrocki, who I was proud to Endorse, and our relationship with him, I am pleased to announce that the United States will be sending an additional 5,000 Troops to Poland,” Trump said on Truth Social.

Trump and the Pentagon have said in recent weeks that they were drawing down at least 5,000 troops in Germany after Chancellor Friedrich Merz said the U.S. was being “humiliated” by the Iranian leadership and criticized what he called a lack of strategy in the war.

Trump then told reporters at the beginning of the month that the U.S. would be “cutting a lot further than 5,000.”
