Maritime Engineer’s Gaza Aid Mission

Andrew Bly, a maritime engineer from Olympia, risked everything to sail into Gaza’s blockade as part of the Global Sumud Flotilla — a daring 54-boat mission to deliver aid to a starving population. Intercepted by Israeli forces hundreds of miles from shore, he and 425 others were detained, enduring brutal conditions including barbed-wire containers and rough treatment in Ashdod. Though flown to Turkey and back to Seattle, Bly says the ordeal didn’t break him — and he’s now channeling his experience into humanitarian work, inspired by Rachel Corrie and determined to mobilize others for collective change.

Montana’s Bold Play to Attract Big Business

Montana’s governor is pulling out all the stops to lure out-of-state businesses with tax cuts and deregulation, proving his strategy works with Janicki Industries’ $800 million investment in Great Falls—creating over 1,000 jobs in five years. He contrasts Montana’s hands-on, low-regulation ethos with high-tax states, highlighting quality of life and agricultural grit as key draws. With Boeing and a top-tier military innovation hub already thriving, Montana’s pitch is clear: less government interference, more growth—and it’s working.
