The New World Screwworm, a grave parasitic threat, has just been detected in US cattle for the first time since it was eradicated in 1966.

The parasite's revival comes after Trump and DOGE slashed funding for Screwworm monitoring programs.

One of the biggest crooks on earth, BlackRock CEO Larry Fink, is calling for trillions in investment in data centers and AI power grids.

He says the money should come from “Americans' savings, pensions, and insurance funds”, all to compete with China, even though the US already has 12 times as many data centers as China.

The billionaires now want to steal from Americans’ to bring about their AI mass surveillance dystopia.

You are going to hear a lot over the next few months about why Democrats need to fight for a Public Option in stead of universal healthcare with Medicare for All...

... and you're going to be hearing it from politicians and dark money groups funded by the insurance and for-profit healthcare industry.

Don't give in to the paid propaganda infiltrating the Democratic Party.

Here's a recap:

First off:
Health insurance is not healthcare — it's a barrier between you and healthcare that only exists to exploit sick people and transfer wealth away from the working class, and up towards the very wealthy for-profit healthcare industry.

The for-profit healthcare industry spends hundreds of millions of dollars each election buying off the opinions and policies of politicians to protect this system.

💸 The Public Option is an insurance-based healthcare system that would:

🤒 continue to protect the health insurance industry
🤒 leave millions without coverage
🤒 protect restrictive doctor and hospital networks
🤒 would cost more than our current system

🩺 Medicare for All is a universal healthcare-based system that would:

✅ cover every American
✅ eliminate copays, premiums and deductibles
✅ expand coverage to include medical, dental, hearing, vision and long term care
✅ cap prescription costs
✅ let you choose your doctors and hospitals
✅ create jobs and boost small businesses
✅ saves families money on healthcare expenses
✅ would cut spending on healthcare by up to $650 billion per year

With healthcare being gutted at the federal level by Republicans, this is not the time for Democrats to fight to protect the predatory, for-profit healthcare industry, by proposing ineffective half-measures.

This is the time for Democrats to put working class Americans ahead of the cash from dark money groups, and support the fiscally and morally responsible path forward on healthcare with Medicare for All.

They're draining all the water sources, killing all the animals, and poisoning all the farmland. People should be in fight or flight mode. It cannot be overstated how dire the situation is in America.

[The Tennessee Holler @TheTNHoller]

“My childhood home is being taken by @GeorgiaPower to supply power to a new data center…” 🤔

They are now seizing people’s homes in Georgia via eminent domain to build power lines for a $17 billion data center.

One has been forced into Utah. And xAI in Memphis. And on and on.

At least 88 companies reported $105B in profits last year, and paid $0 in taxes.

But Republicans want you to think someone working 40 hours a week for poverty wages, relying on SNAP and Medicaid to survive, is the problem.

This video of Israel soldiers casually throwing what appears to be a Palestinian youth off from the roof of a building has shocked the world.

Look how comfortable they walk away after throwing the youth to his death.

As if they have done it 100s of times before.

Been saying this for a while, but will repeat it for emphasis: “I was only following orders” was rejected as a defense at the Nuremberg Trials.

If this is an honest question, I’d say: Americans are rooting against America because we facilitated a genocide and followed it with a surprise attack on a girls elementary school followed by attacks on universities, medical centers, more schools, a world famous pharmaceutical research center, a volley ball team, an unfinished bridge we claimed was transporting weapons and then a nuclear power plant. We are now promising endless attacks on civilian infrastructure.

We are hunting and targeting anyone who might be involved in ceasefire negotiations.

Most people do not pay enough attention to have absorbed all the propaganda about the U.S. and Iran. So people coming to this fresh see us for what we are: absolute monsters. And monsters must be stopped. That’s why people are rooting against us and for civilization to prevail.

[🥀_ Imposter_🥀 @Imposter_Edits]

I took the time to find the exact video in question. If you say nasty things about these people blocking aid trucks and destroying food, it makes more headlines than the people they are starving.

[Jon Finkel @Jonnymagic00]

Honestly like if the average American spent 30 minutes listening to Israelis speak they'd immediately become pro Palestinian. But that's been the case for decades...

[Mr Global @MrGlobal2025]

If the U.S. seized all the oil Iran produces it would take 40 years of that oil production to pay for one year of U.S. debt.

[Ryan Grim @ryangrim]

Yet somehow it is controversial to not want to send free weapons to this country.

The baseline position should be an arms embargo and sanctions. This is pure barbarism.
