This post kind of blew up yesterday. I think Americans really want to know about little things they can do it help people while our government is doing violence to our values, interests, and allies. So I will try to help provide guidance that might be useful for people who want such direction.

Russia is hitting warehouses, workshops, logistics hubs, exhibitions, and trains far from the front line. Many organizations working in Ukraine are not updating their duty of care as fast as the risks are changing, and make decisions on gut instinct.

Excellent piece on the Carolingians by @jtpmedieval.bsky.social in the new (October 2026) @historytoday.com issue. It includes a discussion on Charlemagne's rise, some crises he faces, the impact of the Vikings on the Carolingian empire, and the fall/end of the empire.
The first two pages of the article. The page on the left is the title page. It says the title, which is "Franks Fall Apart" followed by a blurb from the author, James T. Palmer. The blurb says "The Carolingian Empire was consolidated by one of Europe's most celebrated kings, but Charlemagne's death meant that decline was inevitable". The page on the left shows a large image of Charlemagne. The image is actually a golden reliquary in the shape of Charlemagne's upper chest and head. Charlemagne is wearing a crown with jewels. This reliquary is from the fourteenth century and contains part of Charlemagne's skull.The first full page of text of the article on the left side. On the right side is a twelfth-century image of the Carolingian Family Tree from the Chronicon Universale by Ekkehard of Aura.
