This is straight up anti-science propaganda. TV marketing shit. Zero valuable information.

This is where we used to go for our covid info including vaccines...no more. We now get 47 attacking Fauci as well as his own version of covid origins. We are so screwed! #ThisIsNotNormal

'Lab Leak,' a flashy page on the virus' origins, replaces government COVID sites
The new page emphatically promotes a theory that many scientists question. Meanwhile, basic information about COVID testing and vaccines has disappeared.

If you can't afford eggs, you can't afford startup chickens, either.
OH and then there's the Avian flu they'll eventually be infected.
Do these people even hear the noise coming out of their faces?

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.

I’m a LOT more concerned for folks who didn’t vote for a conman three freaking times. Committed MAGA can’t be helped. They’ve been washed out to sea.

Maybe annexing Canada would improve our hockey team 😁.

It’s true that taxpayer data being hidden on #H5N1 is unacceptable & will likely result in the US being at fault for the next #pandemic
However: you can protect yourself. Mind your dead birds & pets who might gift them to you. Invest in #HEPA filtration. Wear a well-fitting #N95 #mask. Manage risk.

It’s almost like circumventing Congress is a bad idea.
UPDATE: The Trump administration paused its defunding of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau following a lawsuit from @democracyforward.org alleging federal law violations. The pause will last until the court hears the case.

CDC is still not freely communicating. Concern about cat —> human H5N1 transmission appeared briefly this week. But you don’t have to have this information to wear a mask & avoid risky situations whenever feasible.
Under the new reign of the Trump administration the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is holding back important information on H5N1 bird flu. This week, the CDC appears to have published, and then quickly deleted, data in its weekly report suggesting H5N1 can spread between cats and people.

The missing data detailed several cases of H5N1 that may have circulated between cats and people.

This. Do what you can, where you can, when you can. Don't expect yourself to be 100% all the time. You have to live in order to resist. It won't look the same for everyone. Living well is the best response to people trying to wreck your life.

Felon 47 cannot keep you from celebrating diversity. Diversity of all kinds has always made this country better. It sucks what he's doing but he & his flying monkeys don't get a vote about what I value & what I celebrate.
Happy Black History Month, and yeah, we're still doing that.
