Americans, may I know what exactly does this 🟦🟧 symbol mean? I saw this in several #liberal or #leftwing accounts, but I want to know its significance.

A really interesting race to watch here. Democrats are now projected to win the governorship of Iowa. This would be the first Democratic governor in Iowa since 2010. In the last 16 years under Republican leadership, Iowa has: - Dropped in education from top 5 to 20. - Dropped in healthcare from 6 to 18. - lowered life expectancy by a year. - doubled the murder rate from 1.5 to 3. - Infant mortality rate increase. - Obesity increased. - Adult literacy dropped.

How is everyone doing?

🇨🇦🇺🇦 Canadian technology company ZenaTech has announced plans to establish its own test center and manufacturing hub in Ukraine for the production of counter-UAV systems. The key product will reportedly be P-1 interceptor drone, with an estimated cost of approximately $5,000 per unit.

While China was busy shipping missile chemicals to Iran and collecting yuan tolls at Hormuz, someone was inside its most sensitive supercomputer stealing everything. CNN reports that a hacker group calling itself FlamingChina breached the China National Supercomputing Center in Tianjin and exfiltrated up to 10 petabytes of classified defence data. The samples posted on dark web forums include bomb and missile designs, animated explosion simulations, structural integrity tests, renderings of the J-20 stealth fighter, sixth-generation aircraft concepts, nuclear submarine schematics, hypersonic weapons systems, and target analyses for American assets including HIMARS launchers and carrier strike groups. Ten petabytes. For context, the entire printed collection of the US Library of Congress is approximately 10 terabytes. This breach is one thousand times that volume. It is being sold for cryptocurrency on Breach Forums. Cybersecurity experts who reviewed the previews told CNN the data appears genuine, matching known output patterns from the NSCC Tianjin facility, which serves over 6,000 clients including defence agencies and aviation firms across China. The timing is extraordinary. Trump posted a 50 percent tariff threat on any country supplying military weapons to Iran hours before CNN published this story. Five Chinese vessels shipped sodium perchlorate to Iran from Gaolan Port in the past six weeks, enough propellant precursor for hundreds of ballistic missiles. China’s ghost fleet continues operating through the IRGC’s yuan toll booth at Hormuz. And now the supercomputer that designed the weapons China is helping Iran reconstitute has been gutted by hackers selling its contents for the same cryptocurrency that Iran charges for strait passage. The irony is architectural. China built a parallel financial system using yuan and crypto to bypass the dollar at Hormuz. A hacker group is now using crypto to bypass Chinese state security and sell Beijing’s most classified military designs to anyone with a wallet address. The same technology that enables sanction evasion enables espionage monetisation. The blockchain does not distinguish between a toll payment and a weapons leak. It processes both. For Xi, this is a catastrophe arriving at the worst possible moment. Bessent’s mid-May Beijing summit was already going to be difficult. Trump holds the waiver on 140 million barrels of Chinese-bound Iranian crude. The 50 percent tariff threat targets China’s arms pipeline. The IDF just destroyed 100 Hezbollah targets using F-35I aircraft with Israeli software upgrades the Pentagon approved today. And now the classified designs for China’s most advanced military systems, the systems that justify the rare earth monopoly and the South China Sea posture and the Taiwan coercion campaign, are available for purchase on a dark web forum for less than the price of a single Hormuz transit. If the data is genuine, every adversary and ally of China can now reverse-engineer the capabilities Beijing spent decades and hundreds of billions developing. The J-20’s stealth profile. The hypersonic glide vehicle’s trajectory calculations. The nuclear submarine’s acoustic signature. The sixth-generation fighter’s sensor architecture. All of it, priced in crypto, available now. China wanted to build a post-dollar world. A hacker group just demonstrated what that world looks like when the technology works in both directions. open.substack.com/pub/shanakaans…

The data from the hack at the Chinese super computer center included missile schematics and fusion simulations. If, as claimed, the hacker had access to this information for months, it shows massive security issues. Along with the recent purges and weapons failures, this hack shows serious problems in China's military industrial complex.

Yarrow will grow in your shittiest soil, survive your driest summer, and feed more pollinators than most plants you actually tried to grow. Yarrow blooms from late spring through fall, making it one of the longest pollinator windows of any garden plant. Miner bees, mason bees, bumblebees, leafcutter bees, sweat bees, checkered beetles, and butterflies all use it. It builds soil as it grows, tolerates drought, and spreads gradually without being aggressive. It comes back every year without replanting, expensive fertilizer, or much water once it's established. One note worth knowing: many yarrow plants sold at big box garden centers are European ecotypes or colorful cultivars, not true North American natives. For maximum wildlife value, look for Achillea millefolium from a native plant nursery in your region. Plant it in a sunny spot with decent drainage. Come back in summer and count how many things are using it.

The opposition party on the other hand does not have such sympathies for the Kremlin and is enthusiastic about ties to Europe. Russia is doing everything it can to stop this, whilst at the same time trying to discredit Ukraine." 9/9

The Mirror source said: “Russian is desperate for Orban to stay in power as he is seen as Euro-sceptic and leans towards the Kremlin." 8/9

The plot was foiled after the Kremlin’s covert operation was rumbled because the explosives were US-made, pointing the finger at Ukraine special forces. 4/9

RESULT: The right took over the Francis Howell school board, a large MO district, earlier this decade; followed book bans & restrictive policies on LGBTQ students. Tonight, the slate endorsed by the teacher's slate swept, and the last remaining conservative was ousted.

This is the type of encirclement that Russia attempted in the past, where it lacked the intelligence and resources to close. Now Ukrainians have both and will be doing this type of action multiple places in the coming months. The Russian Army is now suffering from the same problem that the Wehrmacht did in 1945: being commanded by an isolated and ill-informed tyrant whose orders are driven by fantasy and egomania, not real tactics. #UkraineMustWin

🇺🇦🇷🇺 THIS is Ukraine scaling UP "We're now preparing the European part of our security proposals… Ukrainian expertise delivered, everyone recognizes this… there are long-term agreements on security cooperation. The same is needed in Europe." - Volodymyr Zelenskyy 🇺🇦 Middle East, Gulf, now Europe, Ukraine isn’t just asking for help anymore, it’s EXPORTING battlefield experience Joint production, defense financing, modernization programs, this is long-term military integration, not short-term aid Hundreds of thousands mobilized, a 1,000+ km frontline, constant drone warfare, that kind of experience is now being turned into partnerships This is a shift, Ukraine from recipient… to SECURITY provider

An entire region of Russia is progressively closing down, with the ongoing economic catastrophe in Russia's coal producing region of Kuzbass facing more mine closures.

Varoufakis downplaying the massacre of Mariupol in 2023, when we could literally see the mass graves from space, is what he should be remembered for.
