NEW: China is testing a megawatt-scale airborne wind system that captures stronger high-altitude winds, potentially producing up to 10× more energy with 40% less material and 30% lower costs. It could also be quickly deployed to supply emergency power after disasters.

A clear-eyed update on events in Iran from Danny Citrinowicz is below.
Although Citrinowicz was formerly head of the Iran branch of Israeli defense intelligence, his analysis is remarkably non-idealogical and nuanced.

A mutual aid organizer in Minneapolis told us that Ilhan Omar pops in to help with the foodbank.
No press, no photos, she just shows up and asks the organizers where she should pitch in.

I had no idea the material conditions in Iran had degraded so badly. As the speaker, Prof Fatemeh Shams explains later, these are explosive, borderline revolutionary conditions, much more serious than previous rounds of mass protest

This doesn’t come out of thin air. The Episcopal Church of New Hampshire remembers the martyrdom of Jonathan Daniels during the civil rights movement and is preparing those in ministry now for what is to come.

A Black man was killed by ICE (off duty) in Los Angeles on New Year’s Eve. And like Renée Good, he was an American citizen. But most people have not heard about Keith Porter.
I need y’all to realize this. Black people experience this lack of visibility all the time when it comes to being victims.

Incredible that people have careers based around telling those who are struggling to keep their chin up and not react because "They're clearly [doing worse thing than the last thing] to bait an excuse to [do even worse thing]."
It's a ratchet. You're describing a ratchet. You are selling ratchets.

On paper, America remains a democracy. Democracies have several mechanisms, official and otherwise, through which citizens can effect change
Every single one of these mechanisms depend on truth to function, which means that none of them are working anymore

This letter (from my Great Uncle) - along with the photos (holy fuck) - I keep near me to remind myself that people can be good.
The camp was Buchenwald and I never understood - when I was a young kid - why my Great Uncle was the way he was. But I get it now.

they didn’t leak it to make the shooter look innocent, but to make the victim look guilty. not guilty of a crime. guilty of having a visibly queer wife. guilty of liberalism. guilty of opposing the regime. they don’t seek to exonerate themselves, only to demonstrate who deserves to die.
In the video that the shooter took, which I believe was leaked to be exculpatory, he appears to yell “fucking bitch” after he shoots Renee Good.
