"After severe flooding in non-evacuated areas in Texas has left at least 24 dead with dozens more missing, including several young girls at a summer camp, Texas officials are blaming their failure to act on a faulty forecast by Donald Trump’s new National Weather Service gutted by cuts to their operating budget and most experienced personnel."
"The voters of Texas decided that they wanted Donald Trump and Greg Abbott to be in charge of the government services they received. That is exactly what they are getting. And as of this writing on Saturday morning, Trump still hasn’t said a word about the storm and the little girls who were killed at the camp."
"However, Trump was seen dancing on the balcony of the White House last night celebrating the latest round of cuts in his budget bill that just became law so billionaires and corporations can have huge tax cuts."
There will, sad to say, be more and more consequences to the path we — many of us — have chosen for our nation, serious, lethal consequences.
@sjar and that is just for starters... As far as I know States did get FEMA emergency funds 'when needed'. Maybe it won't be a problem for Republican States, but we have to see if the other States will get some.
There's something biblical about a flood killing children at a Christian camp, yet none of the Bible-tHUMPING, Jesus-lovin' Christians will say anything to criticize the lack of support from their ideal Chirstofascist government.
It is sad to say, but similar floods have carried away Christian campers in years past. Do they rely on Jesus to protect campers, and chalk up the flood deaths to God’s will when they inevitably happen, maybe adding that victims are now in a better place? The attached article includes one of the worst public statements I’ve read so far:
“This is the most dangerous river valley in the United States, and we deal with floods on a regular basis – when it rains, we get water,” [County Judge Rob] Kelly said. “We had no reason to believe this was going to be anything like what has happened here, none whatsoever.”
Kelly had no reason to anticipate such an event in the “most dangerous river valley in the U.S.” even though previous floods have claimed many lives? Why was a camping trip for 750 girls held in this flood plain? Why do parents let their children attend such camps? What kind of safety regulations apply to organizers of such camps?
This is the kind of tragedy that can happen when public health and safety policies are based on wishful thinking and prayers instead of science. How many additional tragedies will result from anti-vaccine and other ludicrous policies pushed by ignoramuses. Some local officials have called this most recent flood a once-in-a-lifetime event and have said their efforts will continue until all victims are found. And, while it’s undoubtedly a onetime event for the dead, it belies the fact that a similar flood killed people just 30 miles north of Kerr County in Hays County several years ago and some victims were never found. People camping along that river, including some children whose bodies were never recovered, were washed away in floodwaters. So, despite statements from Governor Greg Abbott and others to the contrary, the remains of some victims of this Guadalupe River flood will probably never be found. Speculation after the previous Blanco River flood was that their bodies were buried deep in the mud and river sediments displaced by the floodwaters.
I lived in San Antonio for 40 years flash floods were never that predictable they are just pissed off that it happened on the biggest rafting & tubing revenue weekend of the year. 🐊 😈 🐊

Ocho meses después de la DANA cuyas lluvias torrenciales provocaron una riada que mató a 228 personas en Valencia, el jefe del Ejecutivo autonómico parece haber sido perdonado por su partido
Ocho meses después de la DANA cuyas lluvias torrenciales provocaron una riada que mató a 228 personas en Valencia, el jefe del Ejecutivo autonómico parece haber sido perdonado por su partido Feijóo cierra filas con Mazón tras su gestión de la DANA y bendice el pacto de presupuestos con Vox: “Buen trabajo”
El presidente de la Generalitat Valenciana, Carlos Mazón, ha recibido este sábado un baño de masas durante la segunda jornada del XXI Congreso Nacional que el PP celebra en Madrid para lanzar a Alberto Núñez Feijóo a la conquista de la Moncloa.
Con todo, este viernes fue aplaudido y agasajado por la dirección. Este sábado, Mazón se ha fotografiado con decenas de personas, incluida la delegación completa del PPCV (ver imagen principal de la información). Mazón está en el centro de la imagen. A su derecha, el nuevo secretario general del partido, mano derecha de Feijóo, Miguel Tellado. Al fondo, el diputado por Castellón y expresidente de la Generalitat accidental Alberto Fabra.
El presidente del Gobierno valenciano se mostró eufórico cuando se hizo público el nombramiento de Tellado como nuevo secretario general de la formación en sustitución de Cuca Gamarra al asegurar que en los últimos meses ha sido la persona “que más cerca ha estado de la Comunitat estos meses”.
El baño de masas de este viernes se ha producido pocas semanas después de que Feijóo felicitara a Mazón en un acto celebrado en Alicante por su “buen trabajo” durante la reconstrucción y por la consecución de los presupuestos autonómicos pactados con Vox.
Un movimiento de Feijóo que, según sostienen algunas fuentes consultadas por este diario, responde a un pacto para garantizarse la fidelidad de los compromisarios de los populares valencianos, una genuflexión a cambio de apoyo por si a Madrid y Ayuso se les ocurría presentar una alternativa en el Congreso. Y es que la Comunitat Valenciana es la segunda en número de compromisarios con 389, solo por detrás de Andalucía, con 566.
La Asociación de Damnificados de l'Horta Sud-València recuerda que pusieron como condición a Mazón para ese encuentro la presencia de medios de comunicación durante la reunión, una petición que "desde el PP valenciano se ha considerado inasumible"

Am reading Naomi Klein’s excellent #Doppelgänger at the moment. This section is about the investigation into residential schools in Canada a few years ago, which revealed up to 25,000 indigenous children died and were buried here. It was declared a #Genocide by the UN.
The parallels with what is happening in #Gaza are striking: settler colonialism involving not just the systematic erasure of indigenous culture but also systematic killing of children.
Hamas and PIJ militants could do a dozen October 7ths and it would still not be commensurate to the amount of suffering the Zionists have inflicted on the Palestinian people.
It was a horrible atrocity that was committed in retaliation against the decades long Zionist reign of terror, by a refugee population that was reduced to living in a ghetto.
Only within the context it occurred in can you understand it.

> Orwoll and his organization, Return to the Land, have in the past few weeks been slammed mainly by Jews who see their efforts as white supremacist, antisemitic and illegal – a dangerous Trump-era rebirth of segregation-era ideology.
@HiroProtagonist the gist was -- exactly as it suggests, the fun part was the jewish author specifically saying "mainly jewish groups"/people had a problem with it, and it was a sign of the antisemitism of the trump era, etc., etc.

A spokesperson for Defend Our Juries said: “We commend the counter-terrorism police for their decisive action in protecting the people of London from some cardboard signs opposing the genocide in Gaza and expressing support for those taking action to prevent it. It’s a relief to know that counter-terrorism police have nothing better to do.” Why is our government acting in such a stupid manner? What has Israel got on them? #PalestineAction

People lauded the current Supreme Court when it ordered the most minimal due process for some of the people the Trump regime is attempting to summarily deport. But more often than not the Court has enabled such deportations.

I remember when Pride WAS a protest.. before it became a pinkwashing exercise for council and corporate types.
I was there (and I'm in this video looking late 20's and cool in my denim and shades) .. and we marched down Oxford Rd with all the traffic and riot police and everything..

>The Curse of the 8th Decade >The first Jewish state, founded by King David, accomplished phenomenal achievements and survived united for 80 years. In the 81st year, due to internal conflicts, the kingdom of the House of David disintegrated into the separate kingdoms of Yehuda and Yisrael, and so began its fall. >Talks of this curse are not new, as the founder of the Hamas Movement mentioned it to the Israelis 24 years ago. However, the talk of this curse is resurfacing amid one of the largest wars in Israel's history. I didn't know about this. I don't believe in it but apparently many prominent Israelis do. 1947 + 80 = 2027
The Empire Has Accidentally Caused the Rebirth of Real Counterculture in the West
Everyone’s still talking about Bob Vylan, and rightly so. A crowd full of westerners happily being led through a chant of “Death, death to the IDF” at the 2025 Glastonbury Festival was a historical landmark moment for the 21st century, and the group’s persecution at the hands of western governments is once again highlighting the way our society’s purported values of free thought and free expression go right out the window wherever Israel is concerned.
globalresearcBut one thing that’s not getting enough attention is the fact that many, many other acts also spoke out in support of Palestine at that same festival, and that the crowd was full of attendees waving Palestinian flags. Supporting Palestine and opposing Israel’s genocidal atrocities is just what’s cool now.
This is a massive cultural development, because it means we are seeing the emergence of actual, meaningful rebellion in western counterculture for the first time arguably since the Vietnam War. The artists and their fans aren’t just talking the talk of sticking it to the establishment anymore.
For generations the ruling class has been successfully stomping out all politically relevant counterculture, first in the form of direct frontal assault by official government operations like COINTELPRO, and then by the way all major platforms and studios are owned by plutocrats who benefit from the imperial status quo and refuse to elevate anyone who might pose a threat to it.
There have of course been countless artists in every generation who put on a rebellious face and give the finger to authority, but they’ve never presented any kind of threat to real power. Punk rockers who sing “fuck the man” but never advance any actual tangible causes. Satanic panic bands and shock rock superstars scaring church ladies and stirring culture wars. Bands voicing criticisms of the Iraq invasion but making it about supporting the Democratic Party. Celebrity musicians promoting social justice and equality without ever saying anything that might inconvenience the oligarchs and empire managers who rule our world.
The rich and powerful don’t care if you dye your hair or pierce your nose or kiss a member of the same sex or say Hail Satan. They don’t care if you support one mainstream political faction over the other, or if you yell empty words about anarchy and revolution that aren’t pointed toward any real material goals. They care very much, however, if you are undermining public consent for military and geopolitical agendas they’ve worked very hard to propagandize the public into accepting.
The establishment never dropped the hammer on Marilyn Manson. Lady Gaga never ran into trouble with the state for singing that gay people are Born This Way. Ozzy Osbourne is living in the lap of luxury with an estimated net worth of $220 million. But groups like Kneecap and Bob Vylan are being subjected to police investigations and visa revocations for taking a stand on Palestine.
Which, of course, is only going to make their position more popular among young people with a defiant streak in them.
It’s hard to imagine how western governments could make support for Palestine look more attractive to western youths, really. Here’s this unimaginably horrific mass atrocity that they can all watch unfolding on their phone screens in real time every single day of the year, and they’re being told “You’re not allowed to oppose this. We, the stuffed shirts in Washington and London, command you to obey. If you think unauthorized thoughts and chant unauthorized chants, we are going to get very huffy and upset.”
I mean, can you think of anything more fun?
This is after all the generation who’s been told that they need to accept being poorer and sicker than their parents and grandparents and that they’ll never own a home no matter what they do, knowing full well that the crusty old bastards finger-wagging at them for opposing an active genocide are the same freaks who’ve refused to do anything to steer their planet’s ecosystem away from looming disaster. They have every reason to want to express defiance, and nothing to lose by doing so.
A real, politically meaningful counterculture has been born in the western world, and our rulers are already showing us that they’re afraid of it. This is a fascinating time to be alive.

Kuinka paljon ja kuinka monille voi pienestä pihaniitystä olla iloa?
Oon monesti täällä kertonut pienestä niitystä, joka perustettiin vuosi sitten tähän vuokraluhtitalon pihaan lupia keneltäkään kysymättä.
Harattiin hylyn hallussa ollut paljas maa ja kylvettiin muutaman euron niittysiemenpussi siihen. Ympärille vedettiin naru, eikä kukaan sen jälkeen ole siitä kulkenut.
Ekana kesänä tuli mm. ruiskaunokkia, pellavaa, kurjenpolvea.
Yläkerran naapurin mukaan hänelle ja hänen tutuilleen on tuonut valtavasti iloa nähdä päivänkakkaroita kaupungissa. Niitä ei kuulemma ole maalla vietetyn lapsuuden jälkeen saanut nähdä oikein missään.
Tänään oli pihalla oikein suurempi kokous ihan vaan ihmettelemässä mitä uusia kukkia nyt avautuu. Niitty synnyttää yhteisöllisyyttä ja keskustelua ihan itsestään.
Kukaan ei tätä tallo tai revi kylttiä pois. Meitä on käyty erikseen kiittämässä, että kylvettiin tämä.

Also people….please for the love of love & nonviolence stop giving your money & attention to military, police, & fbi procedurals, movies, & violent murder games, Do not accept this oppression propaganda that paints them as heroes when we know they are not. Stop watching. True crime is toxic too. It glorifies the criminals. It feeds their egos. It platforms their ideas. Yet if we need real warnings, people like Tapper & Bob Woodward, all of Big Media, stay silent for profit, or turn against us.
I was doing a mental health presentation at a teen center recently.
This one kid was playing some game packed with siren noises, gunshots etc, very loudly. Him and his friend were strategizing chasing after people, making arrests etc.
When it came time for us to start, he wouldn't put the laptop away, wouldn't shut up, and wouldn't pay attention. (At one point he was also making cracks about not understanding pronouns.)
Towards the end of the presentation I'm talking about positive coping mechanisms and asking the group what types of things they do in their lives that make them feel good and constructive. One of the teachers gets excited and says all proud, "Hey [that kid], tell them what you've been doing!"
Turns out he's in some youth program, sounds like ROTC but for cops. Figures doesn't it, the biggest asshole in the room wants to be a cop, and the teachers think it's a good thing worth encouraging...
Right?? And I'm there working for a particular org and am not supposed to just say, "Oh, I see, that's horrifying. Why on earth would you present a career of oppressive violence as if it's an aspirational thing??"
