This is how I see the H5N1 pandemic starting: MI parent, never big on masking or vaxing, has kids sick with flu. They've had Covid a couple times, so their immune system has trouble throwing it off, and without a robust immune response they don't *seem* that sick. So parent -->

You know what day should be a national holiday in 2029? THE DAY OF THE COMPLETE AND TOTAL BULLDOZING OF THE PRESIDENT DONALD J. TRUMP BALLROOM.

The second this hits air travel the shutdown is over. We already played this out in 2017. Its the absolute max of shutdown Americans are willing to deal with. Stewards or air traffic control will strike or mass call off & the govt will reopen within an hour

Private health insurers stole $33B by defrauding Medicare, with UnitedHealth alone stealing $13.9B from taxpayers. Instead of their CEOs getting prison, we’re stripping health coverage away from millions of Americans and blaming immigrants getting emergency services at hospitals

They are trying to start food riots. Instigating with ICE hasn't given them enough to move in the military.

Yep. It’s called #LongCovid. Wear a respirator. Clean the fucking air. And stop voting for fascists who gut public funding— it trickles down into fewer assistantships, fewer international scholars, and fewer futures. Gilded Age, my ass. I hope they choke on the gold seal like

"Don't worry, citizens, we have to seal off this polling station and take custody of these ballots to prevent any foul play by the cheating opposition!" 2026 is under dire threat, and it's not just suppression.

DELETING IMMUNITY MEMORY—This is not only dumb, wrong, but also dangerous—measles actually WIPES OUT memory of the immune system—where after measles infection—it DELETES YOUR CELLULAR MEMORY of how to fight other pathogens. You will be vulnerable to past infections again!!!

The country can only fix itself if Dems stop shielding people from the costs of GOP policies. Dems should not bail the GOP out of the mess they're making. If they like their budget priorities, they can pass them without Dem votes.

That name will last until exactly Jan 21, 2029, when everything Trump is scrubbed from the White House like an infected wound

This is a lie. Yesterday, Republicans blocked a bill I cosponsored that would have paid our service members and all federal workers. They could stop health care premiums from doubling and reopen the government today, but they’re choosing higher costs and a shutdown.

Health insurance is not healthcare. It’s an unnecessary middleman designed to restrict access to healthcare and transfer wealth upwards by exploiting people for profit. Medicare for All: $0 premiums $0 deductibles $0 copays …and would cut spending by $650 billion per year

They don’t even pretend to care. This is the only story. You can’t open the government if the House refuses to show up.

I think we under-estimate how many people are miserable because they have no enthusiasms, no hobbies, because they gave up reading and quit learning when school ended. It's shocking how much studying a beloved subject elevates your mood. It will transform your life.

You know Trump is president when the bread lines start

wow. I try to avoid thinking “we’re cooked”, but the fact that no one outside of my own CC mutuals is mentioning covid here is so concerning. so many mentions of the “jabs” people got 4 years ago, but not the virus they’re still actively catching every ~8 weeks. what the fuck.

The Ukrainian Gripen deal is having downstream effects.

China is gonna offer soybeans in exchange for Taiwan and it will probably work

"Forgive me, but how in the world is this not on the front page of every American newspaper, leading every cable news show, and right smack dab in the middle of every legacy media homepage? Why are we, at Zeteo, the only folks leading with this insane story? Does the end of
