"Your flag decal won't get you
Into Heaven any more.
They're already overcrowded
From your dirty little war.
Now Jesus don't like killin'
No matter what the reason's for,
And your flag decal won't get you
Into Heaven any more."
John Prine
With gas & beef prices at record highs people will be driving less & eating less beef, greatly reducing carbon emissions. Thanks, Trump, for your support of the woke agenda!
@BladeoftheS What I pay in taxes would mean a lot to my local fire department, library, historical society, school... instead it gets blown in a matter of minutes so some private contractor can blow up innocent people.
A highly dangerous maggot that eats the living flesh of pets, livestock, and humans has been discovered in Texas.
Last year, Trump ousted thousands of key staff from the office dedicated to preventing the spread of dangerous pests.
Smells a dead mouse from a mile away. Eats anthrax for breakfast. Prevents epidemics just by existing.
The turkey vulture — the most important bird nobody respects.
THE NOSE:
→ Best sense of smell of any bird on Earth
→ Can detect ethyl mercaptan (decomposition gas) from 1+ mile
→ Gas companies add the same chemical to natural gas lines
→ Turkey vultures have circled gas leaks — engineers follow them
THE STOMACH:
→ Stomach acid: pH ~1 (nearly pure hydrochloric acid)
→ Destroys anthrax, botulism, cholera, hog cholera
→ Eats diseased carcasses that would otherwise spread epidemics
→ Essentially a flying biohazard disposal unit
THE BALD HEAD:
→ No feathers = bacteria can't get trapped when eating carrion
→ UV sunlight sterilizes the bare skin
→ Same reason vultures sunbathe with wings spread (UV sterilization)
THE FLIGHT:
→ Soars for hours without flapping (uses thermals)
→ Distinctive "wobbly" flight with wings in shallow V
→ Can cover 200 miles per day searching for carrion
WITHOUT VULTURES:
→ In India, vulture populations crashed 99% due to a cattle drug
→ Result: rotting carcasses, feral dog explosion, rabies epidemic
→ Tens of thousands of human deaths attributed to vulture decline
Respect the cleanup crew.
You need them more than they need you.
New video shows police body slam a 16-year-old student to ground—kneel on his back and punch him over and over.
Officer then drags him away by his dreadlocks—after he's already handcuffed.
Family has now filed a lawsuit.
He suffered a concussion—plus severe emotional trauma.
Maurice Williams said he is afraid to go outside now—and is even considering cutting his dreadlocks to feel safer.
He has hired renowned civil rights attorney John Burris who is best known for representing Rodney King.
"One of the things that we dealt with in the Rodney King case, that he had a hard time coming to grips with in his life... and he ultimately cut short his life."
"He couldn't get over the images he could see everyone talk about all the time."
Officer Bianca Camacho has been "administratively reassigned" within the Fairfield Police Department pending an investigation.
The incident occurred on the campus of Fairfield High School in Solano County, California.
Because of your voice on Delaney Hall, the Trump admin just released 18 yr old high school senior whose story I told. They released the pregnant women held inside. These releases show ICE isn’t targeting the violent criminals. ICE is feeling the pressure. Keep raising your voice.
Weird how the "death panels" we were warned against if we went to universal healthcare turned out to be the shareholders & CEOS of for-profit health insurance.
