⚠️The greatest danger of H5N1 is not just its potential lethality,but the possibility that humanity will recognize the start of a pandemic too late. If the virus develops sustained human-to-human transmission,time will become our greatest enemy. Are we prepared for that scenario?
⚠️Pandemic bird flu risk has never been higher. If H5N1 human adapts and goes pandemic we will only find out that it has ‘gone viral’ a few weeks later. There is zero chance we could contain pandemic flu. This pandemic will be orders of magnitude worse than COVID. Lockdowns will be voluntary, enforcement will be unnecessary as ICU’s fill to capacity, hospitals are bed blocked, and patients start dropping in the streets. We do have vaccines ready to go, but they will take months to scale and distribute. Resource inequality will be similar to Covid, with only the wealthier countries getting the jabs. nitter.gq/richardhirschs1/status…

🇵🇸 NEW: Israel's Supreme Court refused to order the release of 14 Gaza doctors, including hospital directors and specialists, held without charge or trial under Israel's Unlawful Combatants Law, some for more than two years. Physicians for Human Rights Israel had asked the court to direct the military's chief of staff to revoke their detention orders, citing the ceasefire and Gaza's collapsed health system. The state said it had reviewed the cases in light of Gaza's severe shortage of doctors but found no "exceptional grounds" to free them, and the court declined to intervene. "Fourteen doctors... remain imprisoned without charge or trial at a time when Gaza's healthcare system desperately needs them," said PHRI's Naji Abbas. Israel today murdered a doctor by bombing Nasser Hospital directly.
Israeli courts have rejected two petitions seeking the release of 14 Palestinian doctors from occupied Gaza, who are being held in prisons without charge or trial, says the rights group Physicians for Human Rights Israel (PHRI). 🔴 LIVE updates: aje.news/uv1vb7

Leave dead trees and fallen wood as well! They’re more important for bugs than live trees as they nest in them! 🪲
Big Landscaping has boomers in such an ironclad chokehold, I tried explaining to my mom that it's actually better for nature not to rake the leaves and she looked at me like I was trying to tell her fairies are real

The next 7 to 10 days are rather important, as H5N1 Bird Flu activity has increased significantly over the past several weeks. Washington has been hit especially hard. We should keep a very close eye out for more human cases among farm workers. Hopefully, they will be tested.

For anyone who hasn't heard about this yet: ICE showed up at the front door of Dr. Ann Lawani in Lodi, California, while she was still in her pajamas, shackled her at the wrists, waist, and ankles, and shipped her all the way to a detention center in Louisiana. She’s a frontline nurse who worked through the worst of COVID, directs the master's nursing program at the University of San Francisco (overseeing 230+ nursing students), and takes care of her 83-year-old dad. When her family and lawyer tried to find out where she was taken, ICE’s online locator came back with "0 results." It turns out ICE quietly changed its policy the day before her arrest to stop listing thousands of detainees in the public database, so her family had no idea where she was for days while she was bounced from Stockton to Bakersfield to El Paso to Louisiana. DHS put out a statement claiming she had a 2013 removal order, but they conveniently left out that on the *exact same day* in 2013, an immigration judge granted her Withholding of Removal blocking her deportation to Nigeria because she faced persecution there. She has zero criminal record, has checked in with ICE for 13 years, and has a valid federal work permit through 2029. Because they legally can't send her to Nigeria, Rep. Josh Harder says ICE has been trying to quietly deport her to an undisclosed third country behind her lawyer's back.

Rep. Ansari was born in Seattle. She cannot be denaturalized, because she never naturalized in the first place. Regardless of that, there’s something rotten about people like Will who seek to devalue American citizenship by making it easy to strip away.
I am a HELL YES on denaturalizing and deporting Yassamin Ansari

When I was negotiating w/COGAT to get humanitarian aid into Gaza, they said we couldn’t bring in green tents or blankets bc green is a “military color.” Water treatments weren’t allowed bc they could be chemical weapons. Diapers and insulin periodically not allowed for… reasons

Breaking🚨: Israel has violated the ceasefire and bombed the second floor of Nasser Hospital, killing at least five and injuring around 20. Two of the deceased are a doctor and a disabled patient. Horrifying images and footage out of the hospital.

So disheartening to see this. As a reminder, the precursors of the 1918 influenza circulated in herds/flocks and agricultural workers for some years before all hell broke loose.
There is an active outbreak of avian flu (H5 influenza) in dairy herds in Washington State, particularly the Yakima Valley. A number of dairy workers have been infected, with at least one death. Speaking with workers, we believe the official case numbers are a vast undercount. 1/

I feel like somebody has to say this; to all non-fascists who voted Blue last week: if Democrats disappoint you over the next 2 years, the solution is not putting Republicans back in charge. That would be dumb. The solution is to elect better Democrats in the primaries.

Federal prosecutors leaned on a one-time bodyguard of Omar's for information about her and when he didn't have what they wanted, they indicted him and then dropped charges after DHS began deportation. Now he's in Kenya, separated from his fiancé. nytimes.com/2026/11/11/us/il…

Police stop Black man—for riding his bike to work out. Accuse him of stealing "childs" bike. "You think it's stolen because I'm Black riding a bike?" he asks. "Well said," cop confirms. "If you want to go there I'll go all the way with that." For the record—not kid bike but a Worksman Cycles adult bicycle. Worksman Cycles bikes are built with heavy duty steel frames and high load capacities—specifically engineered to support the weight and daily use of full grown adult men. Kimani Crawford is a professional boxer and bare knuckle fighter who has won multiple professional boxing titles. He doesn’t have an account on this platform—so posting first full length and credited video here to help raise awareness.

This is when those 11 Democrats are up for re-election. Amazingly 4 out of the 11 are not running for re-election. I'm sure that is a complete coincidence that the magic number needed is backed up by people who aren't running for re-election.
