We are now finding bird flu in deer mice and house mice in Washington State.
H5N1 is advancing along the evolutionary ladder—affecting birds, mammals, and humans. This is not speculation; it’s a timeline.

Cuts to NSF expected to be at 50% reduction in force for an independent agency that fuels discovery and innovation.
"The NSF budget was $9B, or 0.13% of the total [budget]."
This is not about fiscal prudence. This is about killing universities.

The working class can survive and will thrive without billionaires, while billionaires depend on the working class and their consumerism to survive. Remember that.

The Stonewall Inn released a response to the National Parks Service removing the word transgender from the park outside of the Inn. A great reminder that we have to look after each other

My staff is hearing reports from Head Start programs in Oregon that they're still locked out of federal funds. My office is doing everything it can to get more info and get funds flowing before providers have to start closing their doors.

The United States Military Academy has just eliminated all Cadet clubs and activities for POC. Most of these have existed for decades like the Society of Black Engineers. They were there when I was a Cadet in 1987. All of the religious ones remain. This isn’t DEI. It’s white Christian Nationalism.

Elon has 23 staffers. Once the dust settles, you’ll never find a job again. America will remember. Someone will take the fall—and we know exactly who to hold accountable. Stop the games. Quit hiding your names—it really doesn’t work.

Think firing the entire federal workforce will save America money?
Federal civilian employees account for just 4% of the federal budget. Even if someone like Musk—or any president—fired all of us, it wouldn’t make much of a dent in government spending. Don’t fall for it.
