Zooming into each map reveals more locations.
When visiting a location, I recommend bringing multiple people to scout the area and make sure it's trustworthy.

Bye bye, Windows 10! Microsoft is stopping support for the operating system today. If you're still using it, now is a good time to consider alternatives such as Linux, which is free and open source (like LibreOffice): blog.documentfoundation.org/blog/2025/10... #endof10

Today marks the first day in the 55-year history of PBS and 54-year history of NPR that public media has broadcast to its audiences without federal funding. But even though lots of local outlets are at risk, PBS and NPR are still here, providing fair, accurate news coverage and will not be silenced.

“This brutal detention center was burning a hole in the fabric of life that supports our most iconic wetland and a whole host of endangered species, from majestic Florida panthers to wizened wood storks. The judge’s order came just in time to stop it all from unraveling.”
BREAKING: A federal judge has ordered the state of Florida and the Trump administration to halt construction, stop bringing new detainees and begin winding down operations at the mass detention center in Big Cypress National Preserve known as #AlligatorAlcatraz.

Ympäristöliikkeet ympäri Pohjoismaita pysäyttivät Norjan suurimman öljynjalostamon Equinorin toiminnan 36 tunniksi tällä viikolla. Paikalla Bergenissä oli parikymmentä elokapinallista.
Blokki onnistui tavoitteessaan: se pysäytti jalostamon toiminnan täysin ja sai paljon julkisuutta.
