Robert Reich asks who’s getting the most out of Trump’s war. His list (it doesn't include the American people, by the way):
Pete Hegseth’s “Department of War”
Top military contractors
Larry Ellison’s Oracle
Elon Musk’s SpaceX
Peter Thiel’s Palantir Technologies
Big Oil
Jared Kushner
Vladimir Putin

1. Trump launches a war against Iran.
2. Putin helps Iran track down and kill American service members.
3. Trump rewards Putin by lifting sanctions on Russian oil.
If Donald Trump isn’t a Russian agent, he’s going out of his way to make people think he is.
The shame of having to request medical help from the Danish plus actually revealing how close the US have been deploying nuclear powered submarines to #Greenland’s capital, Nuuk is quite something…it had to be immediately covered up with a grand bold #Trump gesture of a medical ship.
A ship that would prevent the US having to be humble and seek help from Danes ever again
Roumor:
In response to Trump sending a hospital ship to Greenland, Denmark is now sending a psychiatric hospital ship to Washington D.C.
And that more than anything else is what motivates me to keep fighting and creating hope: seeing the people most affected and seeing that we actually do win a lot of the time when we fight for them.
The regime has nothing of our resiliency and ICE agents apparently keep shooting themselves by accident because they're morons. We will win this.
Onward.
U2’s song about Renee Good released today. It’s not quite the “banger” or even anthem-like tune that something like Pride (In The Name Of Love) is but I like it and its message.

Americans, if you have not done first aid training in the last five years, I strongly recommend getting a refresher now, and starting to carry a trauma kit with you when you leave the house.
It looks like most of the US Red Cross first aid courses are very superficial, so you'll have to go digging for local resources. The syllabus I recommend is the one offered by the UK and most EU Red Cross groups, including their optimal mental health response unit, and ideally something on using Narcan and Epi pens. You can find it here: https://www.redcrossfirstaidtraining.co.uk/courses/first-aid-training/first-aid-at-work/
If you're piecing together a course from other offerings, you definitely want to make sure that you're doing CPR basics, massive hemorrhage/bleed stop, and shock/stroke at least. If you can find a trainer who can also add to the UK curriculum a treatment protocol for tear gas and pepper spray, that's great. You're going to receive a ton of information in these courses, so please take good notes (and hopefully you'll get the training slides to take home). Make up your own cheat sheets for the core diagnostic procedures — ADCDE/MARCH, AVPU etc. and keep them in your kit. Better yet, also go with some friends — it's always more fun that way and you'll retain more when you're comfortable and having fun — and then spend an evening every month or so going through some basic drills to keep each other fresh.

Over on tiktok user @nomadicpancakes has observed a group of #bees that have learned to turn on the sensor on a water bottle filling station by walking over the target.
This is just the kind of thing bees are made to learn, they love targets and need to follow them when dealing with flowers all the time.
The interesting thing is that the bee who hits the target produces water for her sisters, herself less so. But these #eusocial girls seem to have that worked out!
