I wish Long Covid on everyone involved in this.

Bird flu isn't as silent as we think — experts caution the pandemic threat is still growing It's been months since a major update in H5N1 news, but that doesn't mean the virus has disappeared

"Just because people aren't hearing about H5N1 in the news, just because there isn't some massive outbreak with lots of human cases [doesn't mean it's gone away]":

In the US, the CDC has considered the future pandemic risk of H5N1 to be moderate. It's no longer "low" but now, we're being blinkered like a horse on data due to cuts to departments/agencies that monitor this.

H5N1 Bird Flu outbreak in US: Experts warn of pandemic risk as more than 70 cases of human infections detected The GVN warns that continued spread among mammals increases the chance of genetic changes that could make the virus more transmissible between humans.

Babylon Bee tweet that reads "Hitler Defeated After Opposition Party Holds Up tiny Signs on Paddles." Elon Musk replies with a laugh emoji.

Just to be clear, this is real. And they're laughing about how they are Nazis who can't be stopped.

They brought a ping pong paddle sign to a gunfight.

They demanded staff return to work in person and now they're terminating office leases so they can't. It was never about efficiency; it was always about manipulation.

New biosensor can detect airborne bird flu in under five minutes Researchers in the McKelvey School of Engineering at Washington University in St. Louis have developed a sensor that detects airborne H5N1 avian flu and can be used on poultry and dairy farms.

New ‘first of its kind’ biosensor can detect airborne #H5N1 bird flu in <5 minutes

Global Bird Flu Risk Assessment: Are We Moving Toward a Pandemic? 🚨 We are at Stage 6: "Lots of Sporadic Human Cases." The risk of H5N1 mutating for human-to-human (H-to-H) transmission is increasing. 🔴 Stages of Risk: 1️⃣ H-to-H Airborne (Pandemic) – Global spread. 2️⃣ H-to-H Spread (Multiple Clusters) – Widespread human cases. 3️⃣ H-to-H Spread (Cluster) – Localized human transmission. 4️⃣ Sustained Transmission in Pigs – Virus adapting in new hosts. 5️⃣ Lots of Sporadic Human Cases – We are here! Increasing human infections. 6️⃣ Sporadic Human Cases – Isolated human infections. 7️⃣ Sustained Transmission in Mammals – Virus spreading in mammals. 8️⃣ Spillover to Mammals – Occasional infections. 9️⃣ Mass Infections in Poultry – Rapid spread in domestic birds. 🔟 Mass Infections in Wild Birds – Widespread avian infections. Baseline pandemic risk per year = 2%.

PAY ATTENTION

Best vaccine is vaccine that is completely unnecessary because there is no bird flu in former Soviet Union.

USDA accidentally fired officials working on bird flu and is now trying to rehire them An Agriculture Department spokesperson told NBC News that officials are "working to swiftly rectify the situation."

This story can't be repeated enough. The GOP is lined up behind the guy who is so incompetent that his quasi-gov't agency did this. They're confirming his highly questionable nominees & hurting the American people.

And "accidentally"? It was stupidity, not accident. www.nbcnews.com/politics/dog...

Bird flu confirmed in rats for first time, USDA reports The latest bird flu detections come as the U.S. Department of Agriculture is trying to rehire bird flu experts​ that were fired as part of DOGE cost-cutting efforts.

this is fine

“Avian Metapneumovirus (aMPV) is a respiratory disease that spreads among poultry…triggering outbreaks in Minnesota since 2024. This is partnered with the highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza (HPAI) and the H5N1 bird flu virus. Both are viral infections circulating among wild and domestic birds.”

Absolutely 💯🎯. If we don't keep paying attention and push back soon, too much will be lost.

great Eoin Higgins piece in MSNBC

About a Third of Project 2025 Has Already Been Implemented A conversation with Adrienne Cobb, who is tracking objectives agency by agency.

Just under a third of Project 2025’s policies have already been implemented, according to a developer who is tracking them. More than half of its goals for DOJ, the State Department, and the White House are now in progress. Great Q&A from @jeva.bsky.social:

A national park service webpage about Stonewall. "Before the 1960s, almost everything about living openly as a lesbian, gay, bisexual, or queer (LGBQ+) person was illegal. The Stonewall Uprising on June 28, 1969 is a milestone in the quest for LGBQ+ civil rights and provided momentum for a movement."

‼️ The National Park Service has REMOVED mentions of transgender people being involved with Stonewall. Not only did the remove the world "Transgender" but changed "LGBTQ+" to "LGBQ+".

The federal government is attempting to erase us and take away our history.

This pride, we riot.

A quick resistance task:
1. Google Gulf of Mexico
2. “Gulf of America" is the top
3. Click on the three little dots to the right of it
4. Select "Send Feedback"
5. Click on "Gulf Of America"
6. Select "Inaccurate content"
7. Select "Incorrect" and type in "The correct name is “Gulf of Mexico"

that ad was cursed

An answer to the question circulating this week about whether to use US flags at protests

From what I can tell, the best reporting on what’s actually happening in / being done to the US government is from @nathantankus.bsky.social and @wired.com
Good on them, but it’s a poor reflection on better resourced publishers.

It’s important to remind people that everything which happened in The Handmaids Tale was based on historical events.

Margaret Atwood created a brilliant and terrifying work of fiction, but it was rooted in historical facts.

What’s happened before can happen again if we don’t resist.
