I think @littleflyingrobots.bsky.social has long since been all over this kind of thing.
“The Federal Aviation Administration doesn't distinguish between a small drone and a jumbo passenger jet when it comes to attempts to sabotage commercial aircraft: shooting at one is a felony, punishable by a fine and up to 20 years in prison.”
Police say a man shot a Walmart drone. Armed Americans could pose a headache for air deliveries.
There have been multiple incidents of gun owners shooting at drones. That presents a challenge for retailers.

“The situation at the Rafah crossing adds another layer of complexity and despair. The exorbitant fees demanded by those controlling the crossing—$5,000 USD per adult and $2,500 USD per child—are a stark reminder of the barriers that still stand between our family and safety.”

From @samzaq.bsky.social : “Despite our efforts, the Government of Canada's cap on applications has severely limited our ability to bring our entire family to safety. Out of 36 names submitted, we've only received 18 special codes necessary for the Temporary Resident Visa program applications.”
New update on my friend Ossama‘s GoFundMe, which will help his family escape Gaza for safety in Canada.

Canada continues to limit visas for people escaping conflict zones, and officials at the Rafah border are price-gouging desperate people.

Every donation helps immensely.
