"What Kelly didn’t mention, but which has since become well known, is that the Weather Service employee whose job it was to make sure those warnings got traction — Paul Yura, the long-serving meteorologist in charge of “warning coordination” — had recently taken an unplanned early retirement amid cuts pushed by the so-called Department of Government Efficiency. He was not replaced.
To a Washington bean counter, his loss might have looked like one tiny but welcome subtraction in a giant spreadsheet, but not in a region so prone to these perilous events that it’s known as Flash Flood Alley. Hundreds of kids at summer camps slept in cabins along the river. The plan was for folks at the upstream camps to send word to the downstream camps if floodwaters got scary. But if even the highest official in the county wasn’t on high alert, how were the camp counselors supposed to understand the danger — or, in an area without reliable cellphone coverage, to act on it?"

US sanctions UN expert Francesca Albanese, critic of Israel's Gaza offensive
The Trump administration is imposing sanctions on the UN Human Rights Council special rapporteur Francesca Albanese, an outspoken critic of Israel's military offensive in Gaza.
Secretary of State Marco Rubio linked the move to her support for the International Criminal Court (ICC), some of whose judges have already been sanctioned by the US.
Rubio said the US was sanctioning Ms Albanese for directly engaging with the ICC in its efforts to prosecute American or Israeli nationals, accusing her of being unfit for service as a UN Special Rapporteur.

i wonder if something like this would ever happen given that the united states is practically un-invadeable compared to germany with the 2 biggest oceans on opposite sides that include an american dominated navy along with 2 buffer states to the north and south that are economically and politically dominated by the united states.
were germany in the same geographic spot and had the same economic and military dominance; the 3rd reich would still be a thing.

Fuck all those people.
The thing is this isn’t an anti imperialist war. Russia doesn’t have some revolutionary army that is going to free any one from imperialism. It’s literally just two bourgeoise armies fighting. So I don’t support either side and neither should any one who calls themselves a Leninist ( I’m not a Leninist.) Any one who makes any excuse for either side is just a propagandist, plain and simple, just because some people can on this website can see through American bullshit doesn’t mean they’re not a propagandist. The frag your CO memes all apply to the Russian side as much as the Ukrainian side. Bourgeoise war is bourgeoise war, there is no winner for a normal person here. They’re just waiting to see which jack boot will stamp on their face.
If you really think Putins Russia is anti fascist just because they’re defunding their turf so they can keep looting Ukraine then idk what to tell you other than you’re a war propagandist. Also how will this war help any leftist movement? It won’t. Both the Ukrainians and Russians hate leftists. The communist party in Russia is essentially just controlled opposition and when people formed Soviet’s in eastern Ukraine Putin had them killed. Supporting either side in this war does nothing for me, the average Russian or the average Ukrainian and by doing that all you’re doing is helping one shitty government kill the citizens of another .
No i noticed you haven't read Lenin , he had a few things to say about imperialism. So before you try to define what a Leninist is , or more specifically what a Marxist Leninist is you should read it. Or maybe just see what the people in Donetsk have to say for it.
Even if you are a liberal who always are against all wars except the current one, supports any liberation forces unless they actually isn't angels or have a proper gender diversity. I would give even you critical support if you did something worthwhile instead of just following CIA talking points.
No one thinks Putin or Russia is anti fascist. They are however killing Nazis which is a whole lot better than yours both side argument that always are de facto support for the status quo.
Again why do you know better than the people in Donetsk and rest of eastern Ukraine that rather see themselves as part of Russia and see Russia as liberators that stopped the genocide there?
Perhaps you should be less smug and actually do a deeper analysis of the situation that led to the war? If you did you would quite clearly see that the people of Ukraine are suffering from western imperialism and the war that the west started. And if you actually had a backbone you would also see which side that you have a minicule possibility to effect. But I guess it's easier to have talkingpoints about orcs instead.
I typed out a reply twice and lost it both times now I cbf. All I’m gonna say is you’re right I haven’t read Lenin in nearly 14 years I should check it out again if I can be fucked. I agree that the west started the war, and that they were arrogant enough to think that Russia would just fold because they’re part of the mongol horde or whatever fucking stupid shit some nazi propagandadist came up with. Honestly I always found both sides using the genocide term to be awful and it cheated the actual meaning of the word. Gaza is a genocide. The sources I have irl informed me that many of the Russian leftists who tried to set up stuff in eastern Ukraine were killed.
I feel your need to bring up gender as a dunk to be fucking pathetic. What does gender have to do with any of this?
You don’t know me, or what I’ve done politically. I’m just tired of being used as a weapon of war, and taking part in an information war is part of that. I’m going to go outside enjoy the beautiful sunny day hang out with my family, and count my lucky stars that I’m not being bombed, shot at, shelled or hunted by autonomous drones.
I feel like we will never see eye to eye on this and we‘d both wasting our time trying to get the other person to agree. I hope you enjoy your weekend and that nobody you know ever has to die in a stupid fucking war.
If you analyze this on the level of "good side" vs "bad side" no wonder you don't get it, but even in this lens guys with totenkopfs who revere genociders like Bandera and SS Galizien, got their government handpicked by monster like Victoria Nuland and sell their country to Blackrock will still be "bad side".
Ukrainian Communist Party support the Russian involvment in the war.

US official bypassed safeguards to fast-track $30m to GHF: Report
A US State Department official bypassed nine mandatory counterterrorism and anti-fraud safeguards to approve a $30m aid package for the Gaza aid group backed by Israel and the Trump administration, a news report says.
According to an internal memo obtained by the Reuters news agency, Jeremy Lewin, head of the State Department’s foreign aid programme, signed off on the funding just five days after the GHF submitted its proposal on June 19.
The June 24 memorandum, bearing Lewin’s signature, noted the group’s plan failed to meet “minimum technical or budgetary standards”. Despite that, Lewin approved the funds after consulting aides to Steve Witkoff, Donald Trump’s negotiator on Gaza, and Secretary of State Marco Rubio’s office.

See, I write to them. I call them. I influence them. You, you're influencing voters. Is that a winning strategy?
Until we have ranked choice, "us" is the anti Republican contingent.
You never vote FOR a candidate in a first past the post election. You vote AGAINST who you hate most. And not voting counts as a vote for who you hate most because it lowers their bar to win. It's unfortunately how the math works out.
