H5N1 is no longer confined to birds.
It’s ripping through mammal populations and clawing its way toward humans.
The stage is set for a catastrophic spillover
It’s not a question of if, but when.

In the US, milk is pasteurized via High Temperature Short Time pasteurization.
Milk is rapidly heated to 161°F for 15 seconds, then rapidly cooled.
This kills pathogens: E. coli, Salmonella, and Listeria, inactivates influenza viruses, herpesviruses, parvoviruses, & others.

10% of my 70 college students (18-22 years old) have been diagnosed with *pneumonia* in the last week. 3 hospitalized.
In addition to Covid there are a lot of additional viral pneumonias going around (ie., RSV, enterovirus, human metapneumovirus) in addition to Mycoplasma (see my post) as well as the usual suspects such as Strep pneumoniae – I hope your students are convalescing
This is acute COVID pneumonia in 2024…not 2020…November 15, 2024

#BREAKINGNEWS Trump said during his rally that he hated paying overtime and he refused to pay overtime. This is also part of Project 2025 policy on overtime pay. Trump admits to cheating employees. Trump has said publicly he hates overtime. And they still voted for him as a champion of the working class.
In April, The Biden-Harris Labor Department expanded overtime pay rules.
Roughly 4.3 million more workers would have been eligible for OT pay under the new rule.
A Trump-appointed judged blocked it yesterday.
Go ahead and keep telling me that the GOP is the party of workers.
NEW: A Texas federal judge has struck down a DOL rule that would have expanded overtime eligibility to four million new workers, kneecapping one of the Biden administration’s most substantial labor policies.
This is why the entire narrative about Dems losing touch with the working class while Trump apparently showed he cares for them is so infuriating.
Biden tried to give extra pay to 4 million workers. A Trump-appointed conservative judge just blocked him.
No blowback for Trump.
It’s insane, but Democrats abandoned: medicare for all, increasing the minimum wage, cancelling student and medical debt, and increasing social security/medicare benefits at a time when prices had doubled and millions lost their medicaid coverage.
#POLITICS
A number of my friends who belong in these very high upper brackets have
suggested to me, more in sorrow than in anger, that if I am reelected they will have to move to some other Nation because of high taxes here. I shall miss them very much but if they go they will soon come back. For a year or two of paying taxes in almost any other country in the world will make them yearn once more for the good old taxes of the U.S.A.

The Dictator’s Pentagon — a five-sided takeover
“There are five key areas that authoritarians want to control when they attempt to decapitate a democratic state, authoritarian expert and author Timothy Snyder writes: health, law, administration, defense and intelligence.
And in each of these arenas, the goal is to consolidate power, create chaos — and yes, even death.” Is Trump trying to kill us? Authoritarian expert says yes. Here’s how

Remember how we said Europe should take the $350 billion in frozen Russian assets and give them to Ukraine?
Europe agreed to give $50 billion (the interest not the principal).
It’s time to give Ukraine the remaining $300 billion — RIGHT NOW, before Trump gets into office.

To President Biden and all elected Democrats: Stop playing by rules that no longer exist. At this point, it’s not just spinelessness, it’s complicity.
The Trump administration plans to nominate Jay Bhattacharya to lead the NIH. Bhattacharya has spread disinformation on COVID, fought against lifesaving measures including vaccines, masks, and social distancing, and is backed by dark money groups pushing corporate interests.
Washington Post
Jay Bhattacharya, an NIH critic, emerges as a top candidate to lead the agency. The Stanford physician was excoriated by NIH’s director in 2020 for his “fringe” ideas on covid. Four years later, he’s poised for power in Trump’s Washington.

Hi friends!
I wanted to give a quick update on The Onion’s purchase of InfoWars, which we can’t wait to relaunch as the dumbest site on the internet.
Long and short of it: We won the bid and — you’re not going to believe it — the previous InfoWars folks aren’t taking it well.
Only Congress can create and fund agencies. Trump has said himself they are a voice outside the government in an advisory role.
RAMASWAMY: We expect mass reductions. We expect certain agencies to be deleted outright. Donald Trump and his cronies want to burn the entire house down, just for the sake of burning it down. Remember that cruelty and chaos are the points. Once again demonstrates that he has no idea how the Federal government works. He can make all the recommendations he wants, but Congress has to implement them since Federal legislation established these agencies. Good luck with that.

Grok answered a question, who spread the most disinformation on X
Answer; Elon Musk
X’s algorithm was changed in mid-July 2024 to systematically boost Republican-leaning accounts and Elon Musk’s own account following his endorsement of Donald Trump, according to a newly released computational study of engagement from the Queensland University of Technology.
#Howard Lutnick
Elon Musk just recommended bitcoiner Howard Lutnic as US Treasury
He has 100’s of millions of dollars in #Bitcoin
Epstein pal Howard Lutnick being considered for Treasury Secretary. Lutnick controls $100 billion in Tether, the underlying security of BITCOIN. This signals the end of the US dollar & the American economy as we knew it.
Lutnick took Rumble public for Peter Thiel & JD Vance.
The Trump campaign has a new team that includes hedge fund billionaire Howard Lutnick, who hosted a dinner where Trump said “we’ve got to stop the steal” at his home next door to Jeffrey Epstein’s house.
He also took Rumble public. Whoops. ↘️
Peter Thiel & JD Vance invested in Rumble in October 2020.

This is the real “deep state,” an incestuous collective of compromised oligarchs who see democracy as inconvenient.
Lutnick: graduate of Quaker-founded, social justice principled, Haverford College where he has an eponymous library? Weird. Every one of these Trump-backing hedge fund billionaires need to be investigated. They are all corrupt and made their millions nefariously. IRS better be taking note. I’ve had enough of these criminals bilking our country.

Robert Rubin was the Co-Chairman at Goldman Sachs and was also Gensler’s mentor while he was there.
Rubin would later become U.S. Treasury Secretary under Bill Clinton Rubin and was a liaison between Epstein and the Clinton’s for years.
While Gensler worked at the Treasury, he was involved in policy formulation under Rubin’s direction, particularly in areas like financial markets and regulation.
Jeffrey Epstein visited the White House 17 times during Clinton’s first term when Rubin was the Director of Economic Council. According to the White House logs, Rubin authorized Epstein’s very first visit.

Elon Musk spent at least $130 million to elect Trump, despite $3300 being the maximum an individual can legally donate.
He increases his wealth by $333 million each day.
But tell me again how taxing billionaires and campaign finance reform are “radical,” “far-Left,” policies.

We are watching late stage capitalist global insanity – where the profit motive is the only value – every one and every thing is a commodity. Now the billionaires feel they have the right to be trillionaires & the biggest welfare freaks on the planet & the greatest spreaders of propaganda disinformation are now threatening the press and citizens – they want a return to feudalism
Feudalism had markets and slaves and serfs and lords.
That’s what these freaks want.
Talk about class and capitalism.
FDR or fascism
#FASCISTS
It’s been going on since Grandpappy Bush led a fascist coup on FDR and in response, nothing happened… Because they’re fascists.
Remembering when bankers tried to overthrow FDR and install a fascist dictator. Prescott Bush’s 1933 fascist coup attempt in the US – Business Coup stopped by Smedley Butler
https://bigthink.com/the-present/fdr-coup/
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sp4h39qJKqU
The conspirators included Gerald MacGuire,
a bond salesman; Bill Doyle, commander of
the Massachusetts American Legion;
investment banker Prescott Bush, the father
of George H. W. Bush and grandfather of
George W. Bush; and others.
The Business Plot nearly involved another
individual as well: Retired Major General
Smedley Butler, who was at that time the
most decorated soldier in U.S. history. After
his military career, however, Butler became a
vociferous critic of war and its place in
American capitalism. Later, he would write
the famous War is a Racket and an article in
the socialist magazine Common Sense
stating, “l spent most of my time as a high-
class muscle man for Big Business, for Wall
Street and the bankers. In short, I was a
racketeer, a gangster for capitalism.”

In 1834 the Marines became part of the Department of the Navy. ” Smedely Butler the only Marine Officer to win the Medal of Honor twice. Keep in mind, this was when WWI was just the World War. Reading “War is a Racket” is frighteningly similar to what is happening today, except the monetary figures are bigger. He foresaw WWII and all his points are verifiable. class material
He has a base named after him, he hated fascism. He fought against it home and abroad.
Smedley Butler was one of the most beloved military leaders in American history. Teddy Roosevelt called him, “The finest fighting man in America.” Butler was known as “the fighting Quaker.”
