Can avian flu spread via the wind? Can't be ruled out, experts say A 2024 outbreak of #H5N1 on three unrelated poultry farms in the Czech Republic suggests airborne transmission, which is difficult to prove. www.cidrap.umn.edu/a...

Yeah, this is the one

Says the guy who won't even respond to the mothers of his own children

Amen to that.

What ?!?

The student who ripped this sign down did more for trans people than most of our politicians.

Medicaid is not for sale. NASA is not for sale. The Post Office is not for sale. America is not for sale. We have an obligation to resist kings. We outnumber them. And they can be overwhelmed.

One of the big questions with coups is who the military sides with. It's a big question now. Does the firing of a whole lot of leadership make the military now more malleable, or does it anger and alienate a lot of people down the chain of command? www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...

Read it!

A defining policy battle is about to come to a head in this country. The Republican budget will force everyone - especially Congress and the White House - to make plain whether they are prepared to harm the rest of us in order to fund tax cuts for the wealthiest.

John Fetterman needs to watch this as well.

This is climate arson, yes, but also the entire value proposition of Tesla, the reason for its insane stock price, is that it would end up the Amazon of electric cars: the only real game in town. Killing off non-Tesla electric car infrastructure is a gift to Musk.

So let's get this straight: The U.S. and Elon are now extorting Ukraine and threatening to turn off their Starlink Internet access unless they give their critical rare earth minerals to the United States? Staggering levels of corruption.

Better not call it a “vaccine” or it might not get approved. Maybe market it as a recreational drug.

COMMENTARY: When government shuts out journalists and the public we serve, it's not a sign of strength. www.youtube.com/watch?v=oldZ...

"The AP has participated in the White House press pool since its creation over a century ago." The @apnews.com files suit for being banned by White House for not using the words "Gulf of America." AP claims First and Fifth Amendment violations. Bringing the Litigation Tracker to 82 cases.

In a small trial, nearly half of pancreatic cancer patients who received an mRNA vaccine had no signs of relapse after three years. Dr. Vinod Balachandran from @mskcancercenter.bsky.social joins us to discuss the results and what they could mean for cancer treatment.

I remember that, yeah.

If you’re ever in public while high on ketamine, this DEA pamphlet suggests you might want want to wear sunglasses, even indoors. www.dea.gov/sites/defaul...

This is an excellent template and should be disseminated widely

I got raked across the coals for this take in 2022.

I just wanna congratulate @meidastouch.com for beating Joe Rogan, and thank them for recommending my Substack. Indie media FTW! Check theirs out here: www.meidasplus.com

Joke's on him I never went to journalism school

Not all university presidents are cowards. This, from the pres of Wesleyan, should be mandatory reading for leaders. “It's 1 thing to be reminded that "elections have consequences," but quite another to insist that the best response to the abuse of authority is to be restrained, demure, neutral.” +

internet edgelords only held back in their ripping the copper out of the walls of government by antiquated programming languages it's a real 4chan vs Fortran situation

"North Carolina senator Thom Tillis told people that the FBI warned him about 'credible death threats' when he was considering voting against Pete Hegseth’s nomination for defense secretary... "Tillis ultimately provided the crucial 50th vote to confirm." www.vanityfair.com/news/story/t...

From the makers of "Snakes on a Plane" comes a new aviation thriller for our times: "On a Plane"

Did you know there is a graphic edition of On Tyranny? Can’t wait to read this with my 12 year old. #booksky #resist

Important 🧵: Stanford political scientist uses data to show DOGE is attacking “liberal” agencies, not focusing on waste & inefficiency: “The hardest hit agencies are those that regulate industry, protect public health, and expand access to education.”

A friend in need is a friend indeed.. 🐢

DOGE puts a $1 limit on government credit cards. Every single federal employee should order one $.96 Pentel ballpoint pen www.wired.com/story/doge-g...

In case you, like me, were wondering: the National Pulse is a Bannon-linked outlet run by Raheem Kassam, a British man, former advisor to Nigel Farage and the author of such works as “No Go Zones: How Sharia Law Is Coming to a Neighborhood Near You.”

I will keep saying it. @maddow.msnbc.com is a true necessity in these times. She tells the truth and INSPIRES with stories that are inspirational about PUSHBACK. Thank you Rachel--keep it up. it's what I need, that's for sure.

Great essay not just on #takedowntesla but how it's working and how it exemplifies direct action (Waging Nonviolence is always worth checking out):

Three updates to Litigation Tracker: 1. Plaintiffs file motion in USAID case asking for Secretary Rubio to be held in civil contempt for alleged failures to comply with court's order 2. National Urban League sues: against anti-DEI orders 3. New York's MTA sues: against congestion pricing order

I didnt think it possible to respect @marcelias.bsky.social more than I already did. This is truth to utterly corrupt and corrosive power.
