BREAKING: A judge says Paramount and Warner Bros. must halt their merger for at least two weeks, granting the request from a group of 12 states. https://t.co/lycUWvtS79
The Committee for the First Amendment was formed to fight for our right to free expression. A WBD merger puts it at risk. Read more from @JaneFonda on @theankler.

Se o PL do Licenciamento Ambiental for aprovado o desmatamento vai explodir.
Veta, Lula #VetaTudoLula https://t.co/7iVGFvb6VJ
You know how everyone now says they were always against the Iraq war when most people were for it? Let’s just skip the step of going to war with Iran, because one day everyone will say how they were always against it… except the weirdos, who just love bloodshed and bombs.
You heartless person. Why don’t you actually ask the Palestinians what they want to do and where they want to live. They aren’t cattle you move here and there.
In its first week, the new administration has taken many steps to roll back climate progress. One I want to draw extra attention to is the repeal of an environmental justice Executive Order I was proud to champion in the Clinton-Gore White House.
The video below shows a day's worth of harmful particulate pollution flowing into a part of America known as "Cancer Alley." 66.9% of residents of Cancer Alley are Black. The poverty rate is nearly 50% higher in Cancer Alley than in the country as a whole. It is one of the most heavily polluted areas in the United States and the town of Reserve, Louisiana has the highest cancer risk in the U.S., at 50 times the national average.
Decades of discriminatory practices have turned low-income communities and communities of color across the country into dumping grounds for pollution. Environmental justice isn't part of some imaginary "woke agenda." The Executive Order that was repealed last week focused on ending discrimination, not perpetuating it.
This is a disappointing setback for those who seek to put an end to this longstanding injustice. But environmental justice advocates are among the most active and effective voices in the global grassroots movement for environmental protection and climate action. I look forward to continuing to lock arms with them in our struggle for a cleaner future.
Do not celebrate them taking American made goods off the shelves of Canada or Mexico. It’s American workers who are suffering Trump’s Trade wars. Find solidarity in the plight of the American workers, middle class, working poor, and poor. They are the backbone of this country. Time for Democrats to strip off their worship of neoliberalism and embrace the tenants of the party that once fiercely fought for the working class. Don’t “lay down on the tracks”! That’s what people who are committing suicide do. Stand up and fight, but know who you are fighting for. Know where you stand and stand there.
NEW—CDC officially ordered by Trump WH to cease working with the @WHO, effective immediately. This is the first time in almost 77 years since WHO’s founding after World War 2. This is a dark day.
BREAKING: Donald Trump has imposed a communications blackout across America's federal health agencies, including the CDC, FDA, HHS, and NIH.
These agencies have been instructed to halt all external communications, such as publishing scientific reports, updating websites, and issuing health advisories.
The directive was issued suddenly and without prior notice.
NEW—Trump WH has blocked all CDC science reports (eg MMWR) & suspended all CDC / FDA / NIH external communications of all HHS agencies until further notice... including all FDA & CDC Health Alert warnings & all social media. Public health be damned.

⚠️ BREAKING:
The CDC confirmed the H5N1 bird flu case in a child in San Francisco, stating that the exposure source is "unknown".
A total of 67 cases and one death have been reported in the US since 2024.
⚠️ BREAKING:
CDC Warns of Danger as Bird Flu Could Combine with Seasonal Flu, Creating a Mutated Virus That May Spread Among Humans.
As seasonal flu increases, bird flu has more chances to mutate as different influenza viruses mix.
A 13-year-old girl in Canada with #H5N1 required mechanical ventilation, ECMO, CRRT, plasma exchange, and 3 antivirals. I can’t stress this enough, but these extraordinary interventions are NOT typical for respiratory pathogens.
Here are her chest X-rays 1 day apart, admission and the following day—highlighting how rapidly this progressed.
We must do more now before we see more cases like this.
Of the 10,600 people monitored after being exposed to H5N1 bird flu-infected animals, only 540 have been tested, according to the CDC.
63 of those tested were positive, bringing the positivity rate to over 11%.
Experts say they have lost faith in the government’s ability to contain the H5N1 bird flu outbreak - CNN
“I don’t know if the bird flu will become a pandemic, but if it does, we are screwed,” said Angela Rasmussen, a virologist at the University of Saskatchewan in Canada.
