H5N1 Bird Flu Spreads Rapidly Through California Dairy Herds

The USDA has confirmed that five more dairy herds in California are infected, bringing the total number to 732.

As of now, 74% of the state's dairy herds have tested positive for the virus.

I’m really trying to come to terms with the fact that half the country would sell me out for cheaper eggs. And, the only reason they are mad now is because their eggs aren’t any cheaper.

did I think I would be facing this before week one was complete. I knew it was coming but the speed of it has me shook And still there are those that have no idea what is happening. Not sure if I want to throw up or go punch a Nazi.

Not one Democrat voted to confirm him but we are still F*cked. I am faced with the dilemma of leaving this frightening $hit hole of a country and half of its $hitty racist, misogynistic, fascist citizens or stay because I don’t want to leave the innocent ones behind. Never in my life did I think

I am not telling people not to pay taxes, obviously. But I am going to acknowledge here that as our government becomes more and more lawless, more and more people will ask the question below.

Billionaires are now stripping our government there. At what point will middle-class voters just...opt out?

🤯

Literally nothing is as MAGA as watching a bunch of self-righteous frauds who pretend to give a damn about Christianity, viciously attacking a minister who preached about caring for the vulnerable while their rapist-felon messiah scoffed at her.

Your religion is short one Jesus.

SHARE WIDELY.
KNOW YOUR RIGHTS.

With mass deportations starting today across the country, it is vitally important - for both citizens and non-citizens - to know your rights.

You have the right to remain silent. Assert it. You have the right to a lawyer. Ask for one.

Making Sense Out of the Chaos A helpful guide to some of the worst of Trump's Day One actions

As expected, Trump’s first day in office brought chaos. Immigration, LGBTQ+ rights, and federal programs were all targeted in his first wave of executive orders—but not everything will stick. The Big Picture breaks it all down in this handy guide to Trump's most deplorable day one actions.

From my son Dylan.

Thune sets up votes to confirm Hegseth by week’s end Senate Majority Leader John Thune (R-S.D.) put the procedural wheels in motion to confirm embattled secretary of Defense nominee Pete Hegseth by the end of the week. Senate Republicans are mov…

Don’t let this confirmation go through without making sure that your representative has heard your opposition to this person being confirmed. He’s not qualified. Representatives need to know that he does not have the support of their constituents.

As we see these images of people crying at the border after the asylum system shut down, it is again worth considering how indescribably desperate a person must feel to travel with their children through the desert, across the water, or through the Darien Gap simply for the *possibility* of safety.

This.

The chaos is often a smokescreen, engineered to keep us off balance and to discourage us from organizing. Don’t let it work.

Absolutely

Hero.

Yep. It’s over.

Sickening. I’m sickened.

Chicago Police have said they won't assist in Donald Trump's ICE mass deportation raids.

Know your rights and make a plan.

Pass it on to folks you know in Illinois.

This is good. If you have a Dem governor who hasn't issued a statement like this, ask them why not?

Just to be clear, you are defending a Heil Hitler salute that was performed and repeated for emphasis and clarity. People can officially stop listening to you as any sort of reputable source of information now. You work for them. Thank you for making that crystal clear to all.

I’m just going to say that AOC is the acting leader of the Democratic Party until someone proves otherwise. At least insofar as she is responding to the moment with leadership.

Rev. Mariann Edgar Budde to Trump: "I ask you to have mercy upon the people in our country who are scared now. There are gay, lesbian, and transgender people in Democratic, Republican, and independent families, some who fear for their lives ... and the vast majority of immigrants are not criminals"

(below an image of Trump) TRUMP ELIMINATED THESE EXECUTIVE ORDERS ON DAY ONE: LOWERING PRESCRIPTION DRUG COSTS FOR AMERICANS (EXECUTIVE ORDER 14087 OF OCTOBER 14, 2022) STRENGTHENING MEDICAID AND THE AFFORDABLE CARE ACT (EXECUTIVE ORDER 14009 OF JANUARY 28, 2021) CONTINUING TO STRENGTHEN AMERICANS' ACCESS TO AFFORDABLE, QUALITY HEALTH COVERAGE (EXECUTIVE ORDER 13999 OF JANUARY 21, 2021) PROTECTING WORKER HEALTH AND SAFETY (EXECUTIVE ORDER 13999 OF JANUARY 21, 2021) PROMOTING ACCESS TO VOTING (EXECUTIVE ORDER 14019 OF MARCH 7, 2021) ESTABLISHMENT OF INTERAGENCY TASK FORCE ON THE REUNIFICATION OF FAMILIES (EXECUTIVE ORDER 14011 OF FEBRUARY 2, 2021) ESTABLISHING THE UNITED STATES COUNCIL ON TRANSNATIONAL ORGANIZED CRIME (EXECUTIVE ORDER 14060 OF DECEMBER 15, 2021)

Voters wanted Trump to lower costs, but he spent yesterday attacking trans people and immigrants — and rescinding executive orders like these.

President Trump pardons Nazi & white supremacist that tried to overthrow the government.

Fascists look out for fascists.

Taking action at the local level has a vital impact. It sends a clear message to those in higher positions that we are standing firm and not backing down.
