If there was ever a case study illustrating what happens when we undermine the public health systems built to detect and respond to outbreaks…this is it.

everyone needs to get more pissed

[bONGO 🌐 @wariocolosseum]

can ppl please for the love of god just take climate change seriously

[Taco Bell Quarterly @TBQuarterly]

The Taco Bell finger pointing is a psyop to redirect attention from the real culprit, the deregulation and lack of oversight in our food supply. pass it along and live más comrade

[bONGO 🌐 @wariocolosseum]

it’s so cool how rich ppl make our lives so much worse by making us deal with massive problems they caused

[Reverend Raphael Warnock @ReverendWarnock]

It appears that stopping a flesh eating parasite from spreading across the continent was, in fact, NOT waste, fraud, and abuse.

we’ve been trying to tell people this for years but nobody listens lol

[Sammi Surber ✨ @ssurber98]

Hey! Just to let you know there are only roughly a dozen commercially available “GMO” products in the US. :) which many are used to improve shelf life (arctic apple) or field improvement yield and resist pests (most others). Hope this helps! https://t.co/e42VcMzerB

#ULTIMAHORA Los estadounidenses finalmente están empezando a darse cuenta de que su fruta ya no es fruta.

La mayoría de la gente no sabe que el suministro de alimentos estadounidense está saturado de organismos genéticamente modificados.

[Headquarters @HQNewsNow]

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.

[Blake Allen @Blake_Allen13]

Just like I was talking about yesterday: Screwworm has now been detected in the United States and it’s going to be very difficult and very expensive to contain this. It’s going to hurt farmers & ranchers and also drive up the cost of meat

[Dept. of Agriculture @USDA]

A case of NWS may have been detected in South Texas. The sample is now at USDA's National Veterinary Services Laboratories (NVSL) in Ames, lowa for confirmatory testing. We will provide updates the moment results are available.

We have already activated personnel on the ground and are working with local partners.

What you can expect from us is transparency, candor, and most important — action.

It makes me sad that he’s been ringing the alarm of climate disaster for decades and everyone is just like ‘aw what a sweet old national treasure’ and ignoring him

[Jamie Dupree @jamiedupree]

I wrote about this in my newsletter. The Weather Service didn't launch balloons recently and got surprised by tornadoes in Kansas. DOGE cuts at NWS cut out weather balloon launches which gather data for storm prediction. You are less safe because of that choice.

[Ruben Gallego @RubenGallego]

They are doing this right as fire season starts. What’s the plan? Who’s in charge?

[Praise @tufpraise]

Bald eagles getting lead poisoning from eating bullets is unfortunately just about the most American thing I've ever heard in my entire life

He was $50 at the local shelter which covered his care, vaccines, and supported other kitties. :)
