US Power Companies Face Supply-Chain Crisis This Summer (theepochtimes.com) National: U.S. power companies are facing supply crunches that may hamper their ability to keep the lights on as the nation heads into the heat of summer and the peak hurricane season. Extreme weather events such as storms, wildfires, and drought are becoming more common in the United States. Consumer power use is expected to hit all-time highs this summer, which could strain electric grids at a time when federal agencies are warning the weather could pose reliability issues. In mid-June, Ohio-based American Electric Power Co. imposed rolling outages during a heat wave after a storm damaged transmission lines and knocked out power to over 200,000 homes and businesses. The U.S. Midwest faces the most severe risk because demand is rising while nuclear and coal power supplies have declined.

Loop Current Impacts to Hurricane Season
The Loop Current is positioned comparable to where it was in 2005 prior to Hurricane Katrina

At issue is a legal theory that would give state legislatures unfettered authority to set the rules for federal elections, free of supervision by the state courts and state constitutions.
What the far right has learned from the Trump regime is that they can conduct political blitzkrieg to deflect public outrage from the last awful decision/policy/scandal to the next. Last week it was abortion rights being taken away, yesterday it was native rights, tomorrow electoral rights. What will it be next week? The USA is headed toward a Christian theocratic version of the PRC, and by the time it gets there the population will be completely numb to it.

Peaceful protests in Akron take a turn as sun sets (WKYC) Ohio: Protests remained peaceful in Downtown Akron this weekend after the shooting death of Jayland Walker by the Akron Police Department, but as the sun set on Sunday evening, the scene of the protests took a turn in the other direction. 3News' Neil Fischer reported from the protests around the start of the 11 p.m. news that tear gas had been deployed near the protesters. The police were seen in full riot gear. Many of the city trucks that had been deployed to block the streets from vehicle access have had their windows smashed in and police were seen at least one vehicle guarding the plow. A fire broke out in what appears to be a dumpster near South Main Street and Church Street in Downtown Akron. Officers quickly responded to the scene to break up the crowd of protesters.

Man in custody after Highland Park parade mass shooting (WGN) Illinois: A 22-year-old man is in custody after six people were killed and dozens were hospitalized in a shooting at a Fourth of July parade in Highland Park. A manhunt for the alleged gunman lasted over eight hours. Police were looking for 22-year-old Robert āBobbyā Crimo III. The North Shore native was driving a 2010 silver Honda Fit with Illinois plate #DM80653. Crimo III was taken into custody following a brief pursuit in Lake Forest on Route 41 near Westleigh Road at around 6:30 p.m. He was considered armed-and-dangerous and accused of shooting several people Monday morning at the Highland Park Fourth of July parade. The downtown parade was disrupted around 10:10 a.m. Monday after shots were fired near Central Avenue and 2nd Street. At a news conference, Lake County Major Crime Task Force spokesman Christopher Covelli said it appeared the gunman opened fire on parade-goers from a rooftop using a high-powered rifle that was later recovered at the scene. Five adults were pronounced dead at the scene and another person, whose age was not given, died at the hospital, the Lake County Coroner said.

State of emergency declared in Akron, Ohio following fatal police shooting (NBC News) Ohio: Authorities in Akron, Ohio have announced a 9 p.m. curfew for the city's downtown area after a night of protests over the June 27 police killing of Black motorist Jayland Walker. According to a statement from officials, July 4 fireworks planned for downtown Akron, the Patterson Park Sports Complex, and the Akron Fulton Airport have all been cancelled. The decision comes after Sunday night's protests which followed the release of body camera footage from the June 27 shooting. Walker, 25, was allegedly shot 60 times by eight officers who fired 90 bullets. According to Akron Police, the fatal encounter occurred at approximately 12:30 a.m. on June 27 when officers allegedly attempted to stop a vehicle being driven by Walker for an unspecified traffic violation.

What weāre heading toward is an insurgency, which is a form of a civil war. That is the 21st-century version of a civil war, especially in countries with powerful governments and powerful militaries, which is what the United States is. And it makes sense. An insurgency tends to be much more decentralized, often fought by multiple groups. Sometimes theyāre actually competing with each other. Sometimes they coordinate their behavior. They use unconventional tactics. They target infrastructure. They target civilians. They use domestic terror and guerrilla warfare. Hit-and-run raids and bombs. Weāve already seen this in other countries with powerful militaries, right? The IRA took on the British government. Hamas has taken on the Israeli government. These are two of the most powerful militaries in the world. And they fought for decades. And in the case of Hamas I think we could see a third intifada. And they pursue a similar strategy.

I'm torn, because on the one hand "Fuck you for thinking your rules apply beyond your borders" but on the other hand "Hurr hurr this airplane of men just landed in Lower Wherever because it's legal to sleep with children there hurr".... I don't know how to reconcile these two things.
You don't have to be extradited. If an American flies to Thailand and pays a bribe, and the evidence is found later, that person can be tried for violating the FCPA (I believe Foreign Corrupt Practices Act). And the purpose is.... that. Right there. You don't want an American businessman making and taking bribes just because they are outside the country. Same with sex tourism, people get caught and get prosecuted after they are back home in the US.
Right, but if you pay a bribe and stay in Thailand, you can't actually be punished unless you're dragged back home.

The sticky situation is when dumb things are illegal, like marijuana was. The state should need to prove you were willingly and purposefully funding cartels or terrorism or some other actual offense, when you merely go buy some brownies while in Jamaica, not just slam you with criminal drug offenses when you come back home just because it's illegal. At the same time, this is not worth the state's time to investigate, so this scenario of likely never happens. Going to southeast Asia or inner Africa and partaking in human trafficking, now that I think we should punish. People who partake in these things are racist slavers and don't believe in human rights, at home and abroad. The trouble is determining what things are worth prosecuting, and what are dumb charges that a corrupt government might exploit to harass people who travel (like getting an abortion somewhere else and coming back).(edited)

U.S. Officials: Countryās Enemies Are Attempting to Use Drones for āMaliciousā Attacks (WGN 9) Washington, District of Columbia: U.S. officials told lawmakers Thursday that criminals and the countryās adversaries are using drones as weapons. Officials from the Department of Homeland Security, Department of Justice and the Federal Aviation Administration also talked about thwarted attacks. The threat posed by the malicious use of drones represents a significant and increasing risk to the homeland and the American people. They can conduct cyber-attacks against wireless devices or networks. And they can conduct espionage or trafficking narcotics and contraband. In Feb. 2020 a subject was arrested and charged in connection with his efforts to use a drone to drop explosives near a Georgia mobile home park. The law that gives government agencies the authority to deal with these emerging threats expires in October. But officials say a simple reauthorization isnāt enough. DHS says more agencies, including local police agencies and the Transportation Security Administration need the power to engage against drone threats. This is especially concerning since TSA has reported nearly 2000 drone sightings since 2021. Officials say in that same period that 65 aircraft took evasive actions to avoid drones, including four commercial flights. Federal agencies say that if powers are expanded, they would take steps to ensure there is proper training for local agencies.

The COVID official of the White House added that the U.S. is currently looking at a public health emergency announcement that the Department of Health and Human Services might impose.

Increased Threat of Shootings with Auto Sears
Data from STAC during 2020-22 revealed increasing numbers of handgun auto sears recovered in their jurisdiction. According to their analysis, law enforcement recovered at least 29 handgun auto sears in 2021, compared with 12 in 2020āan increase of 142%. From January 1, 2022, to June 21, 2022, law enforcement recovered 25 devices, suggesting that the 2022 yearly total would again increase compared with the previous year.

the FBI raid on Mar a'Lago definitely has the potential to spark reprisal attacks, both on federal law enforcement and anything deemed representative of "the left".
The former is simple enough, and I presume those facilities are hardened. What concerns me is the latter.

U.S. Officials Issue Warning Of Potential Racially-Motivated Copycat Attacks Following Release Of Suspectās Manifesto Online (CBS News) National: The FBI and DHS issued a warning for potential racially motivated copycat attacks similar to May's Buffalo, New York supermarket shooting, media reported Wednesday. Nationwide, law enforcement partners have been urged to remain vigilant and watch for potential copycat attacks due to the spread of the Buffalo shooter's 700-page manifesto. The 700 pages includes a manifesto of 180 pages and a diary of 672 pages, both of which expand upon the shooter's white supremacist ideas and outline pre-attack training with gear, modification of weapons, and extensive target selection research. U.S. government officials assessed that the manifesto and online diary written by the alleged gunman "intended to serve as a manual for future attackers" will "likely enhance the capabilities of potential mass casualty shooters who may be inspired by this attack." Federal law enforcement warns that "lone offenders" could be the most prone to following the manifesto, given the history of previous attacks. The FBI and DHS ask that citizens and private companies report any suspicious activities related to violent extremism, online radicalization, and mobilization for attacks.

It's not really a unified front on their side... yes upper class white nationalists want that... but it's not like they are directing the middle and lower class militias/terrorists to do the things that make it happen, that's just the playbook they all kinda work from.
Like within the left, the right has their nihilistic radicals that go above and beyond what the core wants for acceleration.
But as far as the control infrastructure you are talking about... it's already there. That's what increased funding of police, militarization of police, widespread LEO and Fed spying on people, and very unrestricted seizure of assets from suspected criminals are. The Patriot Act was the biggest leap forward of that in recent history... the crime bills in the 80s was the biggest before that. Don't forget the legalization of propaganda against the people of the US.
The means and infrastructure to disappear folks is already there. It's been tested on BLM organizers six different ones in several cities missing for a period of time and found dead in "suicides".
The culture of policing with police taught at every stage of training that the public are their enemy is already in place.

Technically it would only give the Secretary of Commerce jurisdiction over investigations into business transactions of sites and services connected to foreign adversaries that they deem to pose an undue and unacceptable risk to the US. All of the other powers and penalties it provides are in the context of that. Since there's no business transactions going on here and Discord is a domestic company, it wouldn't affect us unless they were acting extra judicially. But they can do illegal shit with or without the act. As far as the applicability of the act itself, the power it gives them is actually more restricted than what the Patriot Act gave them, especially since it lists the countries considered "foreign adversaries" and doesn't just leave it completely open like the Patriot Act did with the word "terrorist".

Not saying I support the act tbc. It's still a massive overreach. But I think given how hyped up it's getting, it's necessary to discuss what it actually says and consider how it actually affects us rather than giving in to fear mongering.

Especially since doing so arguably gives them what they want. If people believe the government to have more sweeping powers than they do, they'll be afraid to organise in spaces like this. This isn't a conspiracy theory, but from the government's perspective it's a similar game theory matrix. The government often helps to spread conspiracy theories for two main reasons. One is that they provide distraction from other issues. The second is that conspiracy theories make the government seem more powerful than they are, which makes the people afraid to dissent.(edited)
other counterpoint, other big corpos will also likely fight tooth and nail to challenge and undo this BECAUSE ironically the same reasons we the little guys have issues with: way too much power in gov hands and as we saw with Disney, corpos are definitely not as pro-republicans as they used to be. Still every fuck the little guy, but this is a case were they realize they're gonna get fucked too
The Florida House voted Friday to extend a prohibition on teaching about sexual orientation and gender identity to eighth grade, reviving a debate from last year that sparked widespread condemnation from Democrats and copycat legislation in Republican statehouses around the country.
Politically-driven mass shooters like Payton Gendron and Dylann Roof published their manifestos online before their attacks. Not so for Audrey Hale, whose writings are being held by cops and studied.

6 years in and no idea why Stephen Paddock killed anyone. Or why Saudi hijackers stole planes. Motive always gets buried yet in this one instance the police within hours reveal "gender identity" had something to do with their motive. That being like the only actual detail and there being no evidence given by the police. Straight up sus af.

The police deliberately singled out trans people by doing that, and had to know what they were doing revealing only this detail with nothing provided.

How in tf did our bois scour the crime scene, eat the donuts, and do a complete psychological profiling of the suspect to make this assertion in the span of a few hours? They didn't. That has to be intentional.(edited)

āWe are also victims in the cases against Lily..." If you read it sounds like mental illness is a family trait, yet ultimately 100% of this will be used to say "Oh look at this extremist trans person." No accountability for the conditions which directly led to said thoughtcrime. Thanks Nashville PD for your fuckin' service to the community and trans kids still living in abusive homes.
To be fair to the family, they KNEW something was seriously wrong with her and actually had purged her room looking for guns. It's just she was able to buy more and hide them elsewhere because TN thought A DATABASE OF GUN OWNERSHIP WAS TOO FUCKING MUCH

The person in my article is a "new" one from Colorado. Didn't actually commit any act, but family reported their "manifesto" and cops claim they, apparently drunkenly? (not admissible evidence), said they planned to shoot their school. Seems so... weak and probably triggered by the family.(edited)
This exactly. My issue is to what extent did allllll this hyped up trans hate lead to this family's decision to throw their child in jail before, oh I don't know, counseling? Or not giving them access to alcohol? But y'know those trans people are alllll so dangerous /s
Omfg this is actual fucking cartoon shit: "Whitworth had also drawn āa clock to use as a detonation deviceā with further instructions, police said."
Where that gets iffy is this is a mentally ill minor and the family seems all in on the hate bandwagon. Their resources are going to be like nonexistent to form any kind of defense.
6:09 PM
It's a fucked way to brush off a mental & family health issue as "muh but trans tho"
One, any lawyer would have to make a case that the family is abusive, which is a likely case.
Two, because parents being abusive to their trans kids is such a common problem, there's entire networks who's goal is to provide tran kids support including legal action. We should probably find this trans kid's lawyer and provide that info

A terrible name. Itās better to not have it named after a Confederate, but āLibertyā is a lazy name. There are plenty of people who it can be named after. I think the best name would be Sherman or Grant to further insult Confederates.

If youāre mentioning the pillaging and raping done by soldiers on the outermost edges of Shermanās march, well, they werenāt under orders to do so - they did it on their own. There were no cases of that occurring closer to the center of the march as they were closer to ranking officers and authority, if I recall correctly.
The US government is definitely evil, but most evil?
No.
Iād argue that title goes to one of the regimes that systematically murdered millions of civilians. Iād say it could go to the Nazis, who murdered over six million Jews and many more minorities, and who started a war that killed tens of millions of people around the world and set the political stage of today.
Perhaps it could go to the Soviet Union, which killed an unknown number of people. The University of Hawaii estimates that up to 126 million people died directly or indirectly because of the USSR.
Or it could go to ācommunistā China, whose actions resulted in tens of millions of death, and who is actively genociding minorities, who will disappear any who speak out against the CCP, and so many more things.
The US has a bloody, disgusting history filled with oppression and killing of minorities. The US government caused the deaths of millions of Native Americans, forced them from their homes, and enslaved them. Today, while still being evil, the number of people killed by the government is far less (not zero). Our governmentās actions are deplorable, but nowhere near the level of the PRC, USSR, or Nazi Germany.
Hereās the source for that University of Hawaii.
https://www.hawaii.edu/powerkills/USSR.CHAP.1.HTM#:~:text=In%20sum%2C%20probably%20somewhere%20between,the%20table%20(line%2094).
Itās just above appendix 2.1.
āOverall, the democide components and grand totals do reflect the diverse estimates of experts and in this sense are warranted. Moreover, similar assessments for each period also shows the subtotals are consistent with the references. Finally, actual Soviet democidal institutions, processes, and events that are outlined in subsequent chapters provide justification for these totals. In sum, probably somewhere between 28,326,000 and 126,891,000 people were killed by the Communist Party of the soviet Union from 1917 to 1987; and a most prudent estimate of this number is 61,911,000.ā

Gonna have to hard disagree. China is indeed a superpower, and often abuses their position and power to harass their neighbors and other lesser countries.

Brendan was once a leader in the US white nationalist movement. But when he took the drug MDMA in a scientific study, it would radically change his extremist beliefs.
