People are posting in reddits about bringing their sick birds inside to care for them.
Do NOT do this. It’s shocking to me that people can be unaware that H5N1 is circulating.
Wear a well fitted respirator AND eye protection around sick animals (all animals if you can)

My hope for 2025 is that more people will open their eyes to the fact that when the wealthy/corporations are allowed to profit off of imprisonment, it guarantees the root causes of crime will never be addressed because too many people have a vested interest in keeping jails full.
In Alabama, the man frying chicken at KFC and the woman making beds at Holiday Inn could be a prisoner. The state earns millions leasing inmates to hundreds of companies, deeming them safe enough to work, but routinely denying them parole. apnews.com/article/prison-to…

"Our results reveal that whenever handwriting movements are included as a learning strategy, more of the brain gets stimulated, resulting in the formation of more complex neural network connectivity...typewriting do[es] not activate...networks the same way that handwriting does."

"Paxlovid cuts COVID hospitalization, death risk and speeds symptom relief, studies find."
Earlier science confirmation!
That Paxlovid isn't widely available remains a major shortsighted healthcare problem......💰💰💰❗️

Dear @VP @RepJeffries @RepSwalwell @SenWhitehouse @SenSchumer @RepRaskin @AdamSchiff @marceelias @AdamKinzinger I’ve read at least a dozen examples of voting and ballet issues that warrant a forensic audit of this election. Please don’t let us down like the SCOTUS and the DOJ.

🚨TWEEPS: The PA Senate Race is STILL on.
There are 100,000 ballots left to count.
Dark money interests want Senator Bob Casey to concede so that they DON'T count every vote.
What's the rush?
This is democracy.
COUNT EVERY VOTE.
🚨RT IF YOU AGREE.

Why not a forensic audit? All POTUS elections now require one to restore faith in legitimacy destroyed by 10 yrs of Trump claiming fraud & projecting on to Dems. Unilateral disarmament is irresponsible in face of unconventional attack by Putin, oligarchs & radical right. #Recount

Well, X is about to become government property, while everywhere else is not. So... I think we should probably move off the government platform by Jan 20 (which is what I'm planning to do)

Inequality is America's normalcy. Thus, equality is interpreted as a threat to the stability of the Republic.

Great thread on what happened in Amsterdam. A sports boycott against Israel is long overdue. It was an important part of the global struggle against apartheid South Africa, and was implemented within days of Russia invading Ukraine.
