What I really love about @drjudystone.bsky.social besides her insightful commentary is that she is infinitely patient with my lack of responsiveness & still quotes me anyway. I'm barely keeping my head above water because of H5N1 & I'm grateful for her grace.

CDC Bird Flu Response Cuts Could Lead To Another Pandemic
Cutting surveillance for bird flu, combined with RFK Jr's proposed “let ‘er rip” approach to poultry infections would be dangerous. This is why.

So here's the deal: the FEMA director is completely incompetent and probably certifiably insane, so the media cannot report on this because it would make trump look bad
I mean it is weird that not only is the director of FEMA seemingly MIA (or at least ducking the press) but also there seems to be no stories asking where he is, right?

NEW: Long COVID experts are concerned about Canada's new guidelines for "Post-COVID Condition", stating that some recommendations, like exercise, could harm people with the disease. @spichaksimon.bsky.social dives into the guidelines and the how they were created:

Experts call new Canadian Long COVID guidelines “contradictory” and “deeply concerning” - The Sick Times
The guidelines recommend exercise and therapy as Long COVID treatments. Despite his attempts, Paul Garner had no influence on the process.

one reason I've always hated the 'what if Superman was an asshole' subgenre (Homelander, Omni-Man, Injustice, Brightburn etc) is the character was conceived by two Jewish guys as a subversion to the ubermensch fascism pervading life at the time.

Superman being kind WAS the edgy thing to create.
We are about to witness levels of media illiteracy that the human mind cannot even fathom.

This is absolutely real. Not shopped. You can check it out for yourselves. They are celebrating.

If ANY Dem in your district or state running for office mentions working with Republicans or across the aisle, do not vote for or donate a nickel to them. They are not on your side.

The White House has ordered the US Dept. of Justice to prioritize denaturalization: voiding the citizenship of US citizens.

Who will it denaturalize? "Any" case that it "determines to be sufficiently important".

Point 10 leaves the criteria opaque and arbitrary.

if you have a child — or, perhaps, are an enjoyer of the graphic novel format — you owe it to yourself to get a copy of @exocomics.com’s “Detective Beans: The Case of the Missing Hat”, there’s not a single book-that-kids-can-read that I’d recommend more highly (and there’s a sequel, too!)

Lawyers should start suing based on this confession that Hokan is spending $$$ Congress didn’t appropriate.
Border Czar Tom Homan says that once Congress passes Trump's budget bill, he'll have more money than ever to carry out arrests and deportations: "You think we're arresting people now? You wait 'til we get the funding to do what we gotta do."

Arrest the ICE bastard for abuse. So sick of these self-fellating wannabe tough guys.
ICE arrested a 6-year-old boy with leukemia and his mother at immigration court.

One officer lifted his shirt to show the family his gun, which terrified the child to the point he urinated his pants. www.tpr.org/border-immig...

So am I reading this court decision correctly? We now have 50 micronations with their own laws interpreting the U.S. Constitution wholly separate from one another? But there's one guy with private law enforcement who is immune from all punishment who can do whatever he wants in those 50 states?

I know there is a toxic Blue MAGA tendency to call everything a distraction, but Trumpian fascism really does hinge on creating a circus so exciting that no one really notices that the politics of bread are getting progressively, grindingly worse.
