Russian Invasion of Ukraine PLEASE NOTE: Want a resource link to send funds to besides the armed forces? Please check out the tweet below. I try to update this OP at least weekly with new Ukraine war maps from Al-Jazeera further below. This OP was originally oriented around an original thread on Five Eyes intelligence of an upcoming invasion first posted here in November 2021 that was changed to reflect the invasion that officially began in February 2022 and then subsequent posts were deleted as a result of the April 2022 forum reset.

Germany's upper house, the Bundesrat, cleared the way to partially legalize cannabis on Friday. The law is supported by the government and had already passed in the Bundestag, but it could have been derailed by Bundesrat, which is made up of delegates from Germany's 16 state governments. Some representatives in the chamber argued about negative consequences of the law, and a motion on Friday to send the law to a mediation committee threatened to delay the enforcement of the law. However, the motion did not receive enough votes, clearing the way for cannabis to become legal on April 1. https://www.dw.com/en/germany-approves-partial-legalization-of-cannabis-from-april/a-68641043

news Boeing 737 MAX 9 grounded due to Alaska Air in-flight incident.
umich posted a topic in The Lounge
The Federal Aviation is ordering the grounding of the model of Boeing plane involved in the Alaska Airlines blowout incident. The FAA said the planes must be parked until emergency inspections are performed, which will “take around four to eight hours per aircraft.” The order impacts 171 Boeing 737 MAX 9 jets, the agency approximates. https://www.cnn.com/business/live-news/alaska-airlines-boeing-01-06-24/index.html -

news Democrats prepare to go to war against third party candidates
GraceRandolph posted a topic in Civics
The Democratic National Committee is building its first team to counter third-party and independent presidential candidates, people involved told NBC News, as the party and its allies prepare for a potential all-out war on candidates they view as spoilers. The DNC has hired veteran Democratic operative Lis Smith, best known for her work guiding the 2020 presidential campaign of Pete Buttigieg, to help oversee an aggressive communications component of its strategy, which also includes opposition research and legal challenges. Underscoring how important Democrats view the effort, it is being overseen by Mary Beth Cahill and Ramsey Reid, two veteran DNC insiders, who have already started issuing rare public statements rebuking Robert F. Kennedy Jr. Matt Corridoni, Smith’s former deputy on the Buttigieg campaign and most recently a top aide to Rep. Jake Auchincloss, D-Mass., is also joining the team as a spokesperson. “We’re facing an unprecedented election and we know the GOP is already working to prop up third-party candidates like Robert Kennedy Jr. to make them stalking horses for Donald Trump,” Corridoni told NBC News. “With so much on the line, we’re not taking anything for granted. We’re going to make sure voters are educated and we’re going to make sure all candidates are playing by the rules.” The move comes as a coalition of outside groups — which includes Democratic and anti-Trump Republican organizations — stockpile money and work to stymie third parties. “There is some Jill Stein hangover,” Pat Dennis, president of American Bridge, a Democratic opposition research group, said referring to the 2016 Green Party nominee who was seen as a spoiler in places like Michigan. “A lot of people, including me, regret that we didn’t go after her further.” Democrats have long blamed Green Party candidates such as Stein and Ralph Nader for contributing to their losses in 2016 and 2000. But they say third parties will be especially impactful in 2024 because of the nature of Trump’s support base.

From eonline.com So, ATRL, do you think this event was just a poorly planned disaster, or is there possibly a deeper, darker side to it all? P.S. While I'm here, can you guys change the colour for the prefix selection while making a post? It's nearly impossible to see on dark mode -

The affected livestock shared a pasture and pond with backyard poultry that had previously been infected. The first case of highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) in domestic livestock in the United States during the 2022-24 HPAI outbreak has been confirmed. The World Organisation for Animal Health (WOAH) reported that neonatal goat kids on a farm in Stevens County, Minnesota, had been showing unusual neurological signs. That same farm was the site of a backyard poultry flock infection, which was confirmed by the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) on February 27. x

I'm not really an alarmist usually, but Boeing makes half of the world's planes, and they've really been going through it recently
