They are probing NATOs eastern flank. Drone and jet incursions have happened plus they are installing electronic warfare jamming systems near the boarder. NATO should retaliate with similar matching systems and drone capabilities. NATO has about 2800 troops in country led by the UK and US.

Here is a good meme to post on highly controversial posts where emotional reactions build a misinformation narrative

Remind people of the dangers of fake news and give them questions to ask about the post to spark thoughtful discussion that leads to critical thinking

Bondi is lying but it’s worse than that: she’s blurring the line between fact and fiction for the GOP base. If nothing is true, no one can be held accountable. Keep speaking the truth.

The Nine Principles of Propaganda
1. LIE BIG Big lies work better than small because the masses won't believe that anyone would lie "about that."
2. FOCUS Don't make it complicated, ignore history, keep it simple for simple minds.
3. REPEAT People cannot tell the difference between facts and
familiarity. If they hear the same words repeated enough, they become true in their minds.
4. BLAME Never credit the other side, always blame, debase, defame, and dehumanize.
nere by dennis prestosk
5. PROVOKE Outrage, fear, and resentment are more powertul than reason, logic, or facts.
6. CRISIS Issues must be lite or death, good vs evil, love vs hate, us vs them.
Urgency defeats objection.
7. EMOTION A person might question facts, but they will never question their own feelings. Go emotional.
8. PANDER Ignore reasonable arguments, demonize all who disagree as having bad intentions.
9. NO LIMITS Morality is for losers. The victor's morality will not be questioned. No limits.

The ship sails on through evening’s glow,
Where day meets night in calm below.

Golden rays of sunlight stream dramatically through a break in dark clouds over a calm sea at sunset. A distant silhouette of a ship glides along the horizon near a shadowed coastline, while dark rocks in the foreground catch glimmers of gold reflected on the rippling water.

Cottage in the Woods @cottageinwood.bsky.social · Sep 11

But a tree isn't limited to how it is useful to humans. Every tree is a home for wildlife, a warrior against climate change, a healer of the earth, a survivor of epochs, a story protector, a kind aunt and uncle, and a food bank for dozens of species in difficult times.

No Canadian snowbirds in Florida and Arizona this season. Means, lots of places are going to fold.
