Now this is how to handle a bird flu outbreak. Report quickly. Cull the birds yourself in the best, most humane way possible. Support your volunteers. Decontaminate. Go public right away.

To me among the most infuriating parts about the healthcare debate and ACA credits is this would not be an issue if we were like every developed country on Earth and GUARANTEED HEALTHCARE AS A HUMAN RIGHT.
We'd pay half per capita what we're paying now, have more coverage, & longer life expectancy.

Besides getting shingles is excruciatingly painful and leaves chronic nerve pain behind for many!
Getting Shingles raises your risk of dementia. Getting it more than once raises it more. Get vaccinated with Shingrix if you can. This applies for anyone who got chickenpox before there were vaccines to prevent it.

Well that’s just dumb.
Chuck Schumer doing what he does best: folding to Trump’s authoritarian regime and failing the American people. You’d think after last week, he’d understand the moment we’re in and the leverage he has. He must be replaced as leader immediately, and the out-of-touch corporate old guard needs to go.

🧵 since it’s #Movember, I thought it’d be fun to post mental health stats… (courtesy of the gov of 🇨🇦)
- women are about four times more likely than men (37% versus 9%, respectively) to have ever been afraid of a partner.
- 44% of women and girls who had ever been in a relationship experienced IPV

What a statement. Not what I would have gone with when trying to dispel the petty and thuggish impressions of the party after this last week. And not prime ministerial in the least.

Poilievre’s office on allegations of pushing and yelling by Scheer and Warkentin: “Chris d’Entremont, who established himself a liar after willfully deceiving his voters, friends, and colleagues...is now spinning more lies after crossing the floor. He will fit in perfectly in the Liberal caucus.”

Just a note: yes I am a boomer…and very well aware of our politics, social issues, etc. since the early 70s. I am always up for a good discussion - I don’t expect everyone to agree with me - we all have different generational issues, etc. that form our choices. BUT - if you start name calling, OUT.

Truly telling when the reports from Federal officers are not believed because they have lied so much already. Why would you trust their word?
No ballistic evidence. No one hit. No injuries. No damage from gunfire. Local cops can’t find a “crime scene.” DHS claims shots were fired. I don’t believe them. chicago.suntimes.com/immigration/...
