This is BAD. Many countries assisted with building the containment over reactor 4. Because Chernobyl is an existential threat. Canada donated over 66 million dollars. Building this was an example of extreme engineering. That a drone could do this to any nuclear facility has been a concern.

About a month ago, the Trump administration got rid of the de minimis exemption, whereby packages valued under $800 could slide in without import duties. Now there's a backlog as the government can't process all of this paperwork, leading to UPS just destroying packages
Business Insider headline reads: UPS is telling customers that their packages coming to the US are marked for destruction.

I'm with Wab Kinew. It's time to rescind Canada's 100% tariff on Chinese-made EVs. Prairie farmers are hurting badly, and Canadian families need access to affordable EVs. #cdnpoli @mark-carney.bsky.social @heathermcpherson.bsky.social

ICYMI: blunt messaging around what’s really necessary for better cities anywhere in the world — including the need to call out the misinformation and conspiracy theories used to attack new/old ideas. I also discuss our current Exhibition at Paris City Hall inspiring real climate action from cities.

A collage announcing a knitting collaboration inspired by a medieval dragon. In the top left, a blue and gold dragon curls beside Gothic script from a 15th-century manuscript (Harley MS 1662). To the right, two skeins of yarn — one cream, one vivid sapphire blue — are shown with fern and pearl accents. Below, a pair of colorwork mittens display the dragon motif in blue and cream against a rustic wooden background. Center text reads “NEW COLLAB ALERT!” with a small green dragon icon. Additional images show close-ups of the yarn and the finished mittens, whose intricate patterns mirror the medieval illumination.

if i've learned one thing from doing union stuff while also doing other forms of organizing, it's that you're better off with people you disagree with who are nevertheless trying to do the same thing as you than with people you agree with who aren't trying to do anything

I know not everyone is who they thought they would be under a fascist, authoritarian regime. That's okay. But it's time to do more than react and post about it. It's time to get organized—including mapping or creating lines of support and defense in your community.

I read this myself, I never miss a post even if it takes me a bit, but I've also found it valuable to send this specific one to other folks in recent days.

Wearing an n95 is BY FAR the single most impactful act of resistance a person can do right now.

Your maskless face is the bullet in a fascist’s gun.

Mask up to resist eugenics by protecting vulnerable groups like kids, BIPOC, trans, disability and immigrant communities.
