[Outbreak Updates @outbreakupdates]

The FDA just updated food safety rules to address H5N1 bird flu in pet food.

Uncooked poultry, raw milk, and unpasteurized eggs are now red flags for cat and dog food manufacturers.

Cases in wild and domestic cats show H5N1 isn’t just a bird problem anymore.

"Free speech" mfs when people use their free speech to actually voice their opinions instead of just saying slurs and harassing people:

A homeless person in a sleeping bag was accidentally killed by a city worker driving a bulldozer cleaning out a homeless encampment here in Atlanta and it's hardly in the news anywhere. What the fuck

When these people say "pedophiles" they don't mean the pastor diddling a 10 year old, or their cousin marrying a 16 year old. They mean queer people.

This is what happens when real reporters ask actual non-scripted questions of the U.S. government.

[Covid Caution - SW.2, XGF.1.1, PY.1, PJ.3.2 @CovidCaution]

"COVID's over!"

You mean the thing you keep getting every 3 months?

"Yeah, but it's just a cold now."

The cold you said was the sickest you've ever been in your life?

"Yeah but I'm fine again!"

OK but the brain fog, lethargy, persistent cough, migraines?

"...COVID's over!"

This sounds like parody but there are a whole bunch of people who did exactly this. Because they could.

this is why we always say “palestinian joy is a form of resistance”. it’s not just a catchphrase, we mean it in a very literal sense.

[Apolitical @Apolitical3678]

A generation who inherited a country where a GED and 40 hours of work would provide a house for a family of four is telling their kids to “pull themselves up by their bootstraps” when the exact same qualifications today won’t buy you a studio apartment.

It’s disgusting frankly

Make sure you emphasize this is still under a Democratic president so that when the same happens under Trump people don’t act brand new.

[Mar Vista Voice @marvistavoice]

She defunded the Fire Department btw

[Prem Thakker @prem_thakker]

No word to explain seeing chapters of life gone just like that, hillsides split open, trees lit like matches, animals left to panic, firefighters trying & trying and to know the people who make this real will vote and drink and drill and eat and lobby tomorrow and again and again

[Housing 4 All is Hot @ahouse4all]

In response to the massive fires raging all over Los Angeles + record high winds, the county has let us know there are only 100 shelter beds. 100.

60,000 ppl live outside in LA County.

The same day the LA city council voted to move 200k in homelessness funds to LAPD overtime.

Thanks to everyone's incredible advocacy, we were able to stave off a mask ban in New York State in 2024.

However, the NY State Legislature is back in session on January 8, and they will try to get a mask ban passed for 2025.

Please take action: https://t.co/gkxOxh0oYl

We had to save the masks for health care workers in order to save their lives, and now we literally can't get them to wear masks to save our lives.

[Prof Julia Lawton @Prof_J_Lawton]

Great resource to share with others if they are wondering why they/their kids/their parents/lots of people in their networks are now plagued by viral & bacterial infections, aches, pains & worse (e.g. pulmonary embolisms).
Spoiler alert: It’s not lockdowns, menopause or ageing.

nonprofits are never the answer.
