A potentially concerning reassortment of HPAI H5N1 to H5N5 infected a man at his backyard bird farm in Washington state. He has since succumbed to the virus😔. No evidence of H-H transmission, but every roll of the dice creates more opportunities.

After a judge ordered the flights stopped, Cosplay Noem ordered the flight to leave for CECOT, violating everyone's civil rights and a court order.

Every state that had deportees on that flight needs to be ready to file state charges as soon as the regime is toppled.

So sad for the families of the killed National Guard soldiers. Reminder, the U.S. has experienced 11,197 shooting deaths in the first three quarters of '25. www.thetrace.org/2025/10/shoo... And while tremendously sad, it's just another day in gun-crazy America, really. More troops won't fix that.

Kristi Noem is guilty of crimes against humanity and needs to face justice.

📌 She made the final call to defy a court order to halt deportation flights, sending people into the hellscape of CECOT, a place the UN has compared to a torture chamber.

Prosecute her and everyone involved.

NEWS --> BBC confirms to me that they did edit a line out of historian @rutgerbregman.com's speech. It called Trump "the most openly corrupt president in US history."

BBC also confirms this was done on the advice of lawyers. So Trump's threats worked.

New piece:

Trump’s Fury at BBC Gets Unnerving Results with Pro-MAGA Edit Stunner
First, British Broadcasting Corporation execs resigned after Trump complained about a segment. Now the BBC edited out a line from a historian that was critical of Trump. Where does this end?

Trump never had a fan base.

He had an army of bots who sold his racism and misogyny and xenophobia to uneducated Americans who took voting advice from bald eagle profiles posting Tweets from Eastern Europe.

It’s as stupid as it sounds.

Read this. A real American.
I swore an oath to the Constitution in 1986. I've upheld it through 25 years of service and every day since I retired.

If Trump's trying to intimidate me, it won’t work. I’ve given too much to our country to be silenced by bullies who care more about power than the Constitution.

Let me sum it up for non-military folks:

Senator Mark Kelly didn’t violate any military laws. None.

Hegseth’s little bitch ass has been ordered by Trump to retaliate against Sen. Kelly for speaking out, and Hegseth does what Daddy tells him to do.

That’s all this is.
