Sometimes a crisis hits so hard that a country needs help from others to overcome it. That’s not one-way humanitarian saviourism, it’s international solidarity. 200 South African firefighters land in Edmonton, Canada to help fight the wildfire. Sound up 🔊

On this day in 1989 I grabbed the video cassette containing all the famous pictures of the Tiananmen massacre inc the tank man & walked down to the Beijing Hotel lobby. A cop came over to arrest me but a burst of fire outside distracted him & I slipped past. We got the pictures out via Hong Kong.

At a low-turnout meeting in a small New England town, a surprise motion passes to cut the school budget in half - forcing people to realize what they had taken for granted. Here's my story: a cautionary tale for these times, or maybe a reflection. https://t.co/i7ICsYvvLJ
