This.

Disgusting. Shameful. Treacherous betrayal of Ukraine and, by default, the EU and hideous abuse of Zelenskyj by this U.S. Administration. FelOTUS doesn’t even know the basic recent history of the Russian invasion into Crimea in 2014. What an utter global embarrassment. www.cnn.com/2025/02/28/p...

Don't feed raw diets to your pets. Jeez. www.cidrap.umn.edu/avian-influe...

Folks: I am NOT affiliated with the group that is using my name to support an economic boycott. Please spread this post, if you would.

Musk Has Broken the Constitutional Order Not the kinda history I ever wanted to live. "The tech oligarch has unleashed his slow-rolling coup d’état across the federal government, and it’s not clear anything can prevent a total takeover." newrepublic.com/article/1911... via @newrepublic.com

DC folks, students, worried people-- Democracy Teach In at All Souls Church this Saturday. We need mutual aid for democracy across the USA. Adams Morgan & this church are historic community leaders. Register here threatstodemocracy.org/rise-for-dem...

At a time when federal employees cannot accept gifts worth $20 because of conflict of interest rules, a group of secretive billionaires are getting a free pass. #DOGE open.substack.com/pub/donmoyni...

3- WHO and its member nations also collaborate to understand and address the "pandemic" of NCDs (non-commucable diseases). NCDs are behemoth life-limiting/-threatening diseases that may become the biggest, costliest public health threat. Buh-bye to that effort, too. search.app/RqvB2qcg4JsY...

2-The EO includes rescinding the 2024 Global Health Security Strategy. In the midst of a catastrophic H5N1 zoonotic disease crisis (with terrifying pandemic potential that could eclipse COVID-19), yeah, let's just ostrich. acrobat.adobe.com/id/urn:aaid:...

1- Infectious diseases aren't sentient beings that see and honor national borders. Health security-->global security-->national security & economic security. The Executive Order to exit the U.S. from WHO broadly weakens the U.S. www.reuters.com/world/us/tru...

"...We report serologic evidence of H5N1 virus infection in horses in Mongolia. Because H3N8 equine influenza virus is endemic in many countries, horses should be monitored to prevent reassortment between equine and avian influenza viruses with unknown consequences." www.unmc.edu/healthsecuri...

Tracking #H5N1. "The San Francisco Department of Public Health (SFDPH) on January 10 announced an H5N1 avian flu infection involving a child with fever and conjunctivitis whose exposure to the virus is still under investigation." www.cidrap.umn.edu/avian-influe...

Excellent overview article on H5N1 (a subtype of "highly pathogenic avian influenza), what to look for if you own poultry, how pets (especially cats, but also dogs) can be affected, and how to avoid infection yourself in your fur-kids. www.npr.org/sections/sho...

Good for the ears. Good for the soul. Just. Plain. Good. Thank you @kebmomusic.bsky.social for making happy!

Nice opinion piece by Ali Nouri on the importance of continuing the Inflation Reduction Act, "the most ambitious industrial policy the United States has seen in decades." Climate. Energy. Jobs. Making things here, in the U.S. So many communities benefit. www.grandforksherald.com/opinion/lett...

Director of OMB is one of the most powerful positions in any administration. In this podcast, historian Thomas Zimmer descibes apppointee, Russell Vought, as a committed and competent ideologue who believes the "Natural Order has been undermined by the radical left." youtu.be/W0E7KaZJKtk?...

Lots of "food intensive" holidays are upon us in various places around the world. "Food is love," including for our pets, as long as we know what problem foods to avoid and have some alternatives in hand so you and your guests can include the fur-kids in the feasts. vet.uga.edu/holiday-pet-...

Fellowship opportunity in international development. I worked closely with this small but mighty US government development agency when serving as an AAAS STP Fellow in the U.S. Congress. Best international development agency I've seen. Community first and always. Love them! Super opportunity!

Clinicians seeing patients with N5N1-diagnosed influenza, heads up: Tamiflu antiviral med may not work. Present for some time in H1N1. Presence now in human H5N1 cases is concerning.
