When H5N1 goes off the rails as it almost certainly will in the not-too-distant future, who do you want to be in charge of the country?
Competent leaders and scientists or a clown show. Because this stuff is not a joke.
A new unreviewed preprint is ringing alarm bells about the possibility of human to human transmission coming from cows. (Similar to the problem with pigs.) It's not good.
Biden/Dems must advertise on YouTube/local news -their message isn't being heard:
"We obsess over how Biden gets covered (horribly) by: NYT/Post for good reason. But Biden wins newspaper readers in a 70-21% landslide. The voters Biden is losing don’t read the NYT. Many don’t read anything."

"YouTube & local news are great for reaching people who don't follow politics... We should be delivering info to people who don't currently have it!" @johnlray
A lot of Americans are upset that the Presidential election will be between the same two old men. Majority of Americans are also upset about inflation and the housing shortage. Some vow not to vote at all. Others say they won't vote for Biden because of X. And others flagging they'll vote 3rd-party candidate.
Being upset is one thing. Not taking this election seriously enough and recognizing the stark differences between the candidates is quite another.
You wouldn't think that someone with an established history of #rape, and paying for back-door #abortions would be clamoring to impose an absurd, and likely unconstitutional ban on #contraception. But, here we are.
#MAGAts are the toughest people in the world until #SecretService shows up and arrests them on multiple 10-year+ federal felony charges. This dumbshit wanted a prize, and now his dreams have come true! 🤣
Controversial #Trump movie ‘The Apprentice’ depicts him as #rapist
[probably because he is one]
A movie called “The Apprentice” about a young Donald Trump’s rise to power premiered Mon evening at the #Cannes Film Festival, the #film stars Sebastian Stan as Trump & Jeremy Strong, who plays the ruthless lawyer & political fixer Roy Cohn.
“By & large, it is a very dark & chilling origin story.”
As they were making the #film, director #AliAbbasi said he had many people question why he would choose #Trump as his subject matter….
“…there is no nice metaphorical way to deal w/the rising wave of #fascism,” he said. “There’s only the messy way … the way of dealing w/this … on its own terms, on its own level … good people have been quiet for too long … it’s time to make #movies relevant. It’s time to make movies #political again.”
Help a bunch of middle-aged women kick a Repub anti-#abortion misogynist (cough Tom Kean Jr cough) out of office and #FlipNJ7 🟦 by getting infrequent Dem voters to #Vote By Mail. $1 = 1 voter reached!
#Trump has a huge posse today, including #KashPatel; #GerryKassar, a #conservative party leader in NY; #BernieKerik, fmr NYPD commissioner who was imprisoned for tax fraud & false statements; #AlanDershowitz, lawyer who defended Trump during his first impeachment, & #BorisEpshteyn, legal adviser who was #indicted in AZ for attempts to keep Trump in power after the 2020 election.
Aside: #Trump just sent out a fundraising appeal falsely claiming he “could even be thrown into PRISON FOR LIFE!” if the jury in this case returns a guilty verdict.
Total bullshit.
He actually faces a maximum of 4 years in prison, or probation.
Probably the most important thing you will read this week...or this month...or until the election. I've given the link from archive so all can read.
"President Biden is the first president in 80 years to consequentially raise taxes on both rich people and corporations. That political bravery has brought him powerful enemies: this fall’s election will be hard fought."
“The majority of middle-class Germans treated the National Socialists along the lines described by the historian Friedrich Mei-necke in December 1930: 'People laugh at their economic demands, and the upper ten thousand dutifully berate their rowdyism on the street, as the conventions of polite society demand; yet these very circles continue, quietly yet unabated-ly, to murmur about how useful National Socialism might become.’”
Of the many double standards employed by the media, Biden needing every speech to be some combination of Lincoln and Cicero while Trump's public appearances are 90 minutes of word salad, non sequiturs, and dictatorial musings that get no push back, is among the worst.
@michelemccarthy MSM, being mostly owned by conservatives/billionaires, wants to tip the scales for #Trump regardless of the impact that would have on American democracy. I don't know why the myth of "liberal press" still persists. Most of it is anything but. You have said it very eloquently. #Biden is doing a terrific job in the face of a non-functional House of Representatives and a narrow majority in the Senate. We need to vote every #GOP#GQP person out of office ASAP. #VoteBlue#BidenHarris
May 19, 2017 – Four months after his inauguration, almost 700 positions still remained empty at the Center for Disease Control. The vacancies appeared at every level—from administrative roles to scientific advisers to director-level positions.
#Trump pledges to 'roll back' Democratic President Joe #Biden’s #gun#regulations put in place by Democratic President Joe #Biden & to fire the #ATF chief during a lengthy rally speech to the #NRA on Sat, during which he accepted the influential group's #endorsement.
"I think you're a rebellious bunch. But let's be rebellious & vote this time."
The nation's top #gun rights group has now endorsed #Trump 3X - in 2016, 2020 & 2024.
The org cheered on Trump during his 2017-2021 term, as he appointed 3 #conservative justices to #SCOTUS & took a series of steps sought by the #GunLobby.…Including designating #firearm shops as “essential businesses” during the #COVID19#pandemic, allowing them to stay open.
During the speech, #Trump repeated a pledge to fire the director of the Bureau of #Alcohol, #Tobacco, #Firearms & #Explosives, known as the #ATF, on Day One of a potential administration. He accused that agency, which enforces #UnitedStates#GunLaws, of being heavy-handed w/ #FirearmOwners & revoking licenses on frivolous grounds.
"Tonight, Donald Trump confirmed that he will do exactly what the #NRA tells him to do - even if it means more death, more shootings, & more suffering,"— #Biden camp spox.
…Trump repeated a false claim that he won the 2020 election, & he went after Biden in aggressive terms, repeating claims of corruption that are not supported by available #evidence.
Please understand that fascism never "creeps in." It is out in the open, blaring, guns blazing, using neon signs. Yet, too many people still do not care and tell you to stop overreacting, find comfort in complacency because they'll be fine, or welcome fascism with open arms because they support it.
