Why the conspiratorial right rallied around a flock of ostriches The anti-vaccine, anti-government crusade to save "the miracle cure birds" is over β€” and the fringe activists lost.

For months, I’ve been following a Canadian ostrich farm ordered to cull its flock after a bird flu outbreak. It was a cause cΓ©lΓ¨bre for MAHA activists, a MAGA billionaire, and, of course, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. The trucker convoy with birds ended last night. They lost. www.msnbc.com/news/news-an...

A family friend was telling us about what her husband shared about his experience in Broadview before he was deported back to Mexico. She's been sharing to friends and family because she's just in disbelief & horror what her husband told her. She wasn't able to talk to him until he was in Mexico.

Hi Bluesky πŸ‘‹

Small life update: I’m at the centre of a multimillion dollar lawsuit in Alberta launched by a failed candidate for Jason Kenney’s UCP

It may be the longest and most expensive media trial in Canadian history

I’m ready to go public about it and I want to share more details with you 🧡

The elimination of USAID was an unforgivable moral atrocity that should haunt Trump, Elon Musk and Marco Rubio for the rest of their days and beyond

β€œI’m in the β€˜Hitler sucks’ wing of the Republican Party,” Senator Lindsey Graham, Republican of South Carolina, said over the weekend at the R.J.C. event. β€œHere’s what I do know: You can sit in a basement with weird people and say weird things. It’s a free country.”

US Army Tells Soldiers to Go to German Food Bank, Then Deletes It The initial 'Shutdown Guidance' for the US Army Garrison Bavaria included instructions to go to German food banks.

NEW: The US Army website for its bases in Bavaria, Germany told its soldiers and employees that it might need to obtain free food from the German government during the US government shutdown.

The Army later altered publication to remove a list of food banks, but we have the original text here:

One day I don't have to keep repeating these points. Also I threw this together super quick last night -- hoping these are clear enough short answers! If you enjoy these shorts, consider supporting… Like I wasn't going to respond... #shorts #kardashians

I couldn't leave this one alone. Like it seems silly and harmless, but this is such a slippery slope in to damaging conspiracy theories like anti-vax and climate change denial, so I'm going to keep explaining it in the hopes people start actually thinking about things.
