If you want to keep track of H5N1 in livestock, wild birds, mammals, commercial and backyard flocks, here is a good resource:

You can use the search box to check to see which mammals have been infected with H5N1 in your area...

Pastor Jorge Bautista was telling a Border Patrol agent "we come in peace" when the agent fired toxic powder at him, leaving him struggling to breathe.

The sheer dedication to avoiding any mention of COVID when talking about things that we know for certain are heavily impacted by COVID is...impressive.

Wealth inequality, which centrism has no answer for, is the single greatest threat to democracy today.

Consider the sheer concentration of wealth in the hands of a handful of billionaires—men with eugenicist and anti-democratic views.

If we don’t aggressively take that on, we’re doomed.

Canadian MSM/SM is filled with advocates for the F-35 fighter. But Canada must make itself as immune as possible from future American threats against our sovereignty.

Trump says he’ll pardon a former Honduras leader convicted of taking millions of dollars in bribes from drug traffickers. A U.S. prosecutor said Juan Orlando Hernández “paved a cocaine superhighway to the U.S.”
More evidence that Trump’s threats against Venezuela have nothing to do with drugs.

We, as a species, have done this to ourselves. We, as a species, have known about climate change and its impacts, including drought, since the 1970s. Yet here we are.

Consequences? Rationing. More for the elites, less for everyone else. And conflict, including armed, over access to water.

Add Northwestern to the lists of universities bending the knee. Far too many institutions of higher learning are run by cowards who don't bother to consult their own History and Poli Sci Depts before betraying their own students and democracy in order to bow to a fascist.
BREAKING: Northwestern University has agreed to pay the U.S. Treasury $75 million, over the course of three years as part of an agreement with the federal government to restore funding and end investigations into the university
