"Human safari" #ruZZiaIsATerroristState (via @United24media [x.good.news])
» Russian forces continue their terror campaign of “human safari” in #Kherson, targeting #civilians with FPV #drones. This time, civilians repairing the roof of an already damaged building were the target. «
There is good news about long-range drones. Our #drone has passed a 3,000-kilometer test, Zelensky said
#Kyiv uses long-range #drones to strike deep into #Russian territory, targeting #military #infrastructure such as #airfields, #oil #refineries, and #logistics hubs.
#Russia responds to #Ukraine's call for a #truce in the air with a massive air #attack, around 200 #missiles and #drones targeting purely civilian targets all across the country.
With #Trump having cut off Ukraine's #airdefense shipments, #putin will now scale up missile attacks to bring about one of the worst massacres in human history.
This is all on #Americans now. You voted this guy in, and the #US will never live it down.
Reminder, Ukraine WAS the most pro-American nation in #Europe.
#Poland's deputy prime minister said on Sat that his country has been paying for #Ukraine's #Starlink subscription & will continue to do so.
Melinda Haring, a senior fellow with the Atlantic Council, said Starlink was essential for Ukraine's operation of #drones, a key pillar of its #military strategy.
"Losing Starlink would be a game changer," Haring said, noting that Ukraine was now at 1:1 parity w/ #Russia in terms of drone usage & artillery shells.

If you look at some footage from Ukraine, you can often see some Commercial Dishes with hastily painted urban camo inside windowless buildings so they ain't spotted from overheas flying #drones and #ElectronicWarfare units...

Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) -National Airspace Defense Programs
URGENT- NATIONAL SECURITY THREAT
I work(ed) for the #FAA #NationalDefense Programs (#NDP). My position is/was a national security critical-designated job that was supposed to be exempted from the massive (and unlawful) firings of probationary employees.
On Saturday morning at 12:43AM CST, while I was actively working on an extremely important and classified project in response to a credible threat to America's national security, I was fired.
Before I was fired, the official #DOGE #Facebook page started harassing me on my personal Facebook account after I criticized #Tesla and #Twitter. Less than a week later, I was fired, despite my position allegedly being exempted due to national security.
For those who do not know, #FAA #NDP is tasked with protecting the National Air Space from threats such as missiles, enemy #drones, #aircraft used as #weapons (think 9-11), and so forth.
FAA NDP is a small, yet critical part of protecting the #American public and many of our border states that are at risk of attack from our foreign adversaries such as #China and #Russia.
In March 2024 - I was recruited from my job as Legislative Director at the DC Government to the FAA NDP for the purpose of working on a critical national defense project and in response to a grave and credible threat to the American Air Space.
While working for the FAA NDP, I served as the FAA Lead to the DoD for Open Mission Systems and Data Rights on an urgent project underway in response to a credible national defense threat to America's National Air Space.
When DOGE fired me, they turned off my computer and wiped all of my files without warning. I had just finished a classified meeting at Hill AFB in SLC and was on my way home when I was fired. I was also scheduled to be at Hanscom AFB this upcoming week for additional briefings.
I will be appealing my termination based on political retaliation - which happened in the same unsigned form letter others received - and which my boss and FAA leadership appear to have had no idea of, thought was exempted, and vehemently disagreed with.
My boss and FAA leadership had actively advocated for my position to be excluded from DOGE terminations due to the grave national security implications of my work and believed that such an exemption had been granted.
I had also received excellent performance evaluations and even received a valuing for performance pay raise in January as the FAA is one of the only federal agencies that gives pay raises based on merit and performance.
I decided over the weekend that I want to talk publicly about what happened - especially the harassment I received from DOGE on my personal social media accounts prior to my being fired simply for criticizing Tesla and Twitter (X).
I’m also deeply concerned about DOGE's disregard of the national security implications of my termination.
I believe that the public has a right to know that America's national security has been made less safe"
this is so wrong, #Trump is the enemy from within
what is even worse, the competent in #government can easily find a new better paid job in #private (#corrupt or not #corrupt) #companies, some such as #Snowden in his biography explicitly states that he went from #gov to #private and back, because he could not stand the #corruption
He actually abstained from higher pay and better living standard at #private #companies (gov subcontractors, so he still worked for the government but as a private company charging manyfold for the same work) to actually serving the people with less pay, as his parents did as well
@benroyce@mastodon.social#Ukraine has suffered an endless litany of shells, rockets, and #drones aimed at primarily civilian infrastructure and residences throughout the #UkraineWar
This is the aftermath of a #drone strike by #Russia on the #Chernobyl sarcophagus at 2 AM Friday
The sarcophagus is a concrete protective shell over Unit 4 that exploded in 1986
A fire was ignited and was extinguished
#Radiation levels are normal
A tedious repair job is now required to prevent leaks of radiation

Good morning to our readers; #Kyiv remains in Ukrainian hands.
Ukrainian #forces have achieved another world first: a successful #offensive using only #drones, without the use of human #troops.
The Counteroffensive is the first to publish a detailed play-by-play of this milestone.
If you're building unmanned drones designed to hunt down and capture humans in the US, SORRY SUCKERS, 25% TARIFF IN CANADA
(ps. would not recommend riding in the unmanned aircraft "designed for the carriage of passengers" at this time)

DRONES NEAR WILDFIRE ARE NOT SAFE!
Flying drones or UAS (Unmanned Aircraft Systems) within or near wildfires without permission could cause injury or death to firefighters and hamper the ability to protect lives, property, and natural cultural resources.
Fire managers may suspend aerial firefighting until unauthorized UAS leave the area, allowing wildfire to grow larger.
