I have solved Bird Flu. Give the chickens ivermectin. Have the chickens practice Earthing. The problem with their immune systems is they are not touching the soil enough. Coffee enemas for all chickens. Also we must stop reading them Ibram X. Kendi. Eggs will be back and most importantly not gay.

Yet, when folks wish to exit the sex trades, many face discriminatory hiring & firing practices that prohibit exiting, even in low wage jobs, subsequently locking them in.

Didier Raoult now published a 'preprint' claiming I am 'close' to Gates Foundation - citing a France Soir article as the reference.

He also suggests that my poor facial recognition skills are linked to autism, with 'serious psychosocial consequences'.

What a sad man.

Look I’m a communist from Kentucky and I am continually at odds with the Kentucky Democratic Party- and I don’t always agree with Andy Beshear’s politics- but he ran a campaign in Kentucky that rarely ceded that the Republican framework was correct and won twice.
Governor Andy Beshear, in a Trump +30 state, gives advice to Democrats: Do not throw LGBTQ+ people under the bus, it will not work.

His advice to dems: Lead on your values.

This man ran on a fully inclusive campaign in 2023 and won. He received the same kind of ads Harris did.
