Thousands of public schoolteachers in San Francisco went on strike on Monday,
the first public schoolteachers strike in the city in nearly 50 years.
The strike comes after teachers and the district failed to reach an agreement over higher wages,
health benefits and more resources for special needs students.
The San FranciscoUnified School District closed all its 120 schools
and said it would offer independent study to some of the district’s 50,000 students.

If you’re wondering how you can help…
If you’re in MSP: talk to your neighbors, find the people who are doing organizing work, and get involved. Find something and show up for it. Info & resources here: monarcamn.org
If you’re elsewhere in the US: talk to your neighbors •now• about what’s happening, and get your support networks set up •before• this comes to where you live — unless of course it already has, in which case see above.
If you’re not in the US, spread the word about what’s happening here. Make the shame of ICE known internationally.

Or you can host an event if you’re not seeing any options nearby:

Good Morning #Canada
Overnight news of Trump attacking another country in a blatant attempt to seize their resources should be a wakeup call for Canada. Does anyone here think a strike on Ottawa to remove the current government couldn't happen? Could the U.S. find a stooge willing to become the interim leader? How much oil, aluminum, uranium, hydropower or other resources would be looted before Trump strokes out from too many big macs. Yesterday I would have laughed at this scenario but today it starts to be less of a fantasy.
I glossed over this article when it was first published back in November but now I'm leaning towards support of developing a volunteer force in Canada. Perhaps a 2-year voluntary military service for our youth to provide employment and training. I don't want a volunteer military force to ever be used and hopefully it becomes a deterrent. But unfortunately a serious discussion is needed.

I never thought I’d be doing this at my age…
That’s what my friends Karen and Chris told me recently. She’s a retired teacher; he’s a retired firefighter. They are a Canadian couple from Alberta who, over the past few years, have travelled the world, spent time with their family, and helped over a thousand individuals and couples build an online business that removed financial anxiety from their lives.
How did they do this? They got involved in an online business a few years ago and helped others do the same. They had a mentor to guide them from day one. But on top of that they had access to and support of other experienced people on the team. They were able to take advantage of a huge library of training resources that showed them how to get started and keep going in an effective manner. And they had the flexibility to work on their new business based on their priorities and schedules.
The results speak for themselves.

Hey Fedi, as a marketer I want to say: ALL OF YOU HAVE THE POWER TO INFLUENCE WHAT HAPPENS NEXT.
We can shape social movements and public opinion with the things we say. Communication CAN change minds and make improvements that feel “impossible” real and tangible. That’s how the right got as far as it did, with strong and consistent messaging.
Now, let’s be practical. HOW we talk about the events that happen matters as much as WHAT we talk about.
If we want to make a difference and mobilize people towards progressive stances while our democracy and freedom are under attack - we need to use effective language and messaging.
Don’t give airtime to conservative values and MAGA lies. Instead, appeal to the values we believe in and help shape the conversation in ways that benefit people like us who want a better future.
I’ll share some resources in the thread with actionable advice.

Content warning: bitcoin conference report

Despite much opinion to the contrary, the government money we use is crappy.
I'm at bitfest in Manchester to find out if Bitcoin could be a better money.
It could hardly be worse.
The mood is still good, people are joking about recent devaluation rather than crying. Those who aren't all in are trying to buy more at the discount.
After an introduction by Mad Bitcoins, Joe Bryan explains the problem with government money.
He imagines an island on which two types of money are tried, with a dividing wall between them.
When economic problems hit, government can just print more money on the fiat side. Everyone now using money which is worth less. Distorting prices, inflating asset prices, making the rich (who hold assets) richer and the poor (who have to pay inflated prices) poorer. Driving wealth inequality.
On the hard money side, government must tax properly. Take in more from the rich rather than inflating to take it from the poor. Reducing wealth inequality.
On the government money side, the wealthy monitize houses, stocks, resources. Saving in money is impossible, its inflated away. So they save in assets and hording resources. Capital is misallocated. The youth can't afford houses. Poverty traps are caused. The only way out is printing more for benefits. Making it all worse. More economic crises, more printing. More government debt.
Eventually, the wall is broken. Government money people can save in the hard money instead. It reduces the value of government money further. More printing. More inflation.
Eventually, war. Funded by printed money.
The dollar is the best of a bad bunch all other government money is falling in value even faster.
I wonder, is bitcoin really this better money though? It's limited, hard, and can't be printed without energy investment.
I'm still unsure that fixing money fixes the world.
--
Note: "crypto" is mostly more like government money than bitcoin. It can be printed indefinitely by it's makers, does not cost it's makers to print. Crypto is usually just a scam people to get more bitcoin. Bitcoin is not crypto.

So far in Russia's hybrid war in Europe, most known acts of sabotage have resulted in minimal damage
— nothing compared to the tens of thousands of lives lost and cities decimated across Ukraine.
But officials say each act
— from vandalism of monuments to cyberattacks to warehouse fires
— sucks up valuable security resources.
The head of one large European intelligence service said investigations into Russian interference now swallow up as much of the agency’…

In neither this year nor the next should anyone expect Russia to propose a deal that is meaningfully different from what it has already.
How do we change the circumstances?
There are two main levers.
The first deteriorates conditions inside Russia to the point that Mr. Putin is forced to consider ending the war as the lesser evil,
and it is achieved by imposing sanctions that would be powerful and smart enough to erode Russia’s capacity to wage war and significantly i…

Guatemala has opted out of renewing a lease agreement
on a 7,000-acre oil field in order to use the land for better protection of the surrounding Laguna del Tigre Biosphere Reserve.
An 830,000-acre component of the greater Mayan Biosphere Reserve
which allows Mesoamerican wildlife to roam freely between the country and neighboring Belize and Mexico,
it’s one of the world’s most important protected areas.
As such, the presence of an oil field inside its borders wa…

Kash Patel has reportedly assigned a security detail of SWAT agents to guard his country singer girlfriend,

The sources added that those agents, who are typically charged with responding to high-risk situations, would likely be unable to respond in the event o…

The Arctic is no longer a frozen periphery,
especially not after the U.S. spat with Europe over Greenland.
As sea ice melts, the High North is emerging as a strategic hub for energy, shipping and critical minerals.
It is warming nearly four times faster than the rest of the planet,
-- but what’s also heating up is the debate over who will control the Arctic routes, rules and resources that will shape global markets for decades.
While Russia and China are method…
