Satirical, opinionated waterfowl. Proud Avian-American! I had 253 gazillion followers on Twitter before coming over here (or maybe not). Plz don’t feed me any bread.🐥🤬✊🏽🖕🖖🔬☮️🌈🇺🇦🚫🍞
On this day in 1944, the Gestapo found Anne Frank and her family in their Secret Annex. Her diary stands as a warning against hatred and persecution. Eighty years later, we should recognize the warning signs before it’s too late.🙂↕️

This hasn’t gotten much attention, but it should. While everyone was focused on Schedule F, the administration created something even broader. On July 30, a new OPM rule took effect that creates a second way to fire federal employees outside the normal civil service process.
It’s terrifying that deranged chaos agent RFK Jr admitted on national tv that he has no idea how to stop a future pandemic and what’s worse is that he truly doesn’t give a fuck either way. We went from having top scientific medical experts leading US Health to this looney basket.

Aaron Rodgers calls Fauci ‘absolute coward’ on ‘The Pat McAfee Show’ at Steelers camp

it’s pretty obvious that a lot of people remember that COVID lockdowns were unpleasant and from there just extrapolate that they were therefore bad policy
You'd have to be a special kind of stupid to not understand this.
Greece is burning. Spain is burning. Sicily, Wales, Türkiye, Canada, the US— the entire planet is engulfed in flames. Decades of warnings ignored. Decades of corporate denial exposed. The science was right all along: our home is on fire. We need immediate, radical climate action.
Anti-ICE advocates rallied outside the DHS office near Cincinnati after Haitians losing TPS were summoned for mandatory check-ins. Protesters report officials are fitting people with ankle monitors and issuing new court dates. Community members stand united against these aggressive tactics!
It’s a pattern
RFK refuses to take responsiblity for anything, again.

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 4d agoBASH: You have been one of the leading voices questioning the efficacy of vaccines. Do you accept some responsibility for this measles outbreak? RFK Jr: Absolutely not
BASH: How do you prepare for next pandemic? RFK Jr: We did almost everything wrong B: But what about now? K: We need to protect our rights B: ? K: During covid we dismantled our rights B: But I'm asking what *to* do K: You were part of the problem B: You want to sit here and attack me?
Watch this amazing dog! His name is Grayson and this is pretty cool. Especially, the part where he knows to slow down at the speed bump. Wow! 🤩😎

The fourth estate (news media and journalism) as we knew it is as dead as Mitch McConnell. We must now develop and rely on new and more honest sources of information
What the US government is doing to Dr. Fauci is the embodiment of what they are doing to scientific infrastructure overall.
How badly has #misinformation been normalized? An increasing % of people believe the unhinged idea that the COVID vaccine killed more than COVID. 27% think true‼️ ONLY 39% know definitely false‼️ Reality: COVID killed > 7 million. Vaccine saved millions & severe adverse reaction extremely rare.
Trump is holding a Cabinet meeting and talking about how much the January 6 insurrectionists suffered after their attack on the Capitol. It’s odd because he’s speaking as though he had no role in what happened. He claimed many of them died by suicide and suggested what they did was innocent.
Considering how badly Covid was mishandled, they're probably going to regret the decision to make Fauci's personal diary and journal public. We're going to see how it was handled from the insider, from Fauci's point of view... based on you know...science.

The guy who campaigned on grocery prices is gold-plating horse statues on our dime. It’s going to be hard to tell the difference between Washington, DC and the Las Vegas Strip in a minute.
300,000 Haitians legally living in the U.S. have officially lost their Temporary Protected Status this week. ICE is reportedly planning to target Haitian communities and fast-track deportations to Haiti, which is controlled by violent gangs and deep in crisis. Trump’s cruelty knows no bounds.
Today is another one of those uncomfortable times where I find myself looking wistfully back at the Bush Administration.
I'm old enough to remember when polio put my friends into iron lungs. We dutifully lined up at school to get vaccinated. We eradicated the disease. We protected the common good and saved lives. What RFK Jr. is doing to public health in America is a disgrace.
