Rubio just made a speech to the European defense community in Munich that did not mention Ukraine. Or democracy. Or US business deals with Russia. Or the administration's plans to support the European far right. But there were lots of nice words about our common civilization.

I am now partnering with @wildhornets.bsky.social latest raffle to raise funds so that they can build a second mobile lab, allowing them to accelerate their design development, so that their drones get even more effective!

Please donate!
A year ago we asked you to fund a Wild Hornets mobile lab

You came through

This lab fuelled innovations that changed the war

Our drones⤵️have downed 3300 Shaheds—saving 2800 civilians from death or injury

To speed up crucial R&D we now need a 2nd mobile lab

So we're launching a new fundraiser...

It is unacceptable to ban athletes from the sport of their lives because of a symbol of remembrance on a helmet
