For those following the story of unidentified men violently dragging a protester from a local Idaho GOP meeting, it turns out they were from a private security firm called LEAR Asset Management. But neither the sheriff (who watched it all go down) or the GOP will take responsibility for hiring them.
This morning at Dept of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) HQ in DC as mandatory return to office began, this video played on loop for ~5 mins on screens throughout the building, per agency source.
Building staff couldn’t figure out how to turn it off so sent people to every floor to unplug TVs.

I’m sorry, Panama
CNN w/fitting PS to "lessons" portion of my Blake Lively/Baldoni 🧵 yesterday.
As I said, some men can be true feminists. But beware misogynist male grifters who drape themselves in "ally" robes to:
-get laid
-get movement or professional status
&/or
-TOO COMMON: as cover for abusive predation.

Welp…we had four years of an administration that didn’t threaten to annex sovereign countries.
It was a good run.
WHOA! THIS SHOULD BE CONSIDERED FRAUD.
GOP Rep. Kay Granger (TX-12) has been missing for six months. She was just found by a reporter in a dementia care facility.
Her staff and others have been keeping this a secret from her constituents. So who’s been making these posts?
Billboard in Spanish that reads “How much did you pay to have your daughter r*ped?” one billboard reads. Another reads, "Your wife and daughter will pay for their trip with their bodies."
My God.
Texas Gov. Greg Abbott spent $100,000 on billboards warning migrants they'll be r*ped if they cross the border illegally:
“How much did you pay to have your daughter r*ped?” one billboard reads.
"Your wife and daughter will pay for their trip with their bodies,” another reads.

What does it say that this took me zero time to understand.

Denver gave people experiencing homelessness $1k/month. A year later, nearly half had housing.
They also had fewer ER visits, nights spent in a hospital, and jail stays.

For years the Christian Right has been warning us about Godless hordes coming to destroy America and it turns out this was true—it's just that the words were autobiographical.
It’s so strange to read the news and see the exact same headlines from eight years ago.
Nothing has changed except it’s going to go faster this time. They threw shit at the wall for four years and now they know what sticks. 
We need to be preparing for a birdflu pandemic NOW.
H5 viruses are pandemic in birds, are spreading efficiently between other mammals, and are causing increasing human infections.They are only 2 mutations away from efficient H2H spread.
A #BirdFlu pandemic will be 100 times more lethal than #COVID.
#H5N1 (D1.1) virus in critical BC teen shows worrying mutations for human adaption (E627K, Q226L).
And it is causing very severe disease.
#BirdFlu doesn’t quite have #pandemic potential yet, but it is learning rapidly.

The #H5N1 virus causing the critical illness in the Canadian teen has multiple mutations on both the HA and PB2 domain than can cause increased human a2,6 receptor binding , and therefore increased infectivity and lethality. This could be why this patient is far sicker than the cases in the US.
