The burden of Trump is 100% on white people and finding an excuse to make it anyone else's problem is, whether or not you want to believe it, deflection of culpability. Your whataboutism is bullshit.

Raising chickens is more expensive than grocery store eggs, but also, bird flu is endemic in wildlife at the moment.
Asking people to do this with zero safety precautions or knowledge is a great way to get more people infected and raise the chance that we get a human transmissible version.

Trump’s Sec of Agriculture Brooke Rollins says the solution to high egg prices for Americans is to get some chickens and raise them in your backyard.

Of course they're racists, sexists trashcan fires of transphobia and homophobia and bigotry. They've been telling us exactly what they intended to do with their slogan about returning to greatness for DECADES.
Or did you think their halcyon nostalgia was over strong unions and a 90% tax bracket?

Julie Gray, wife of Holocaust survivor Gidon Lev, who joined Musk in his visit to Auschwitz speaks out. She says that Musk felt nothing during the tour & only "cared about how he looked."
She shared this with me privately shortly after the tour, and I'm grateful she made her thoughts public.

Freezing NIH funding and withdrawing from the WHO isn’t just shameful—it’s deadly. Public health relies on research, collaboration, and preparedness. These actions leave us vulnerable, and lives will be lost. Shadows rise when we abandon the light of progress and care. 🌗✨

You won't believe this. My team and I make this show called SciShow that works hard to be rigorous and accurate while also being appealing and entertaining.
We reach a LOT of people every year with episodes about crabs and neutrinos and gender and cancer and vaccines.
