Please please please PLEASE keep your cats indoors right now. H5N1 (HPAI, highly pathogenic avian influenza) is zoonotic to cats, and it is just as deadly for them. Additionally, if you have a way to keep your shoes away from your cat(s), or sanitize them after being out in the world (bleach footbath for example), a little biosecurity wouldn't hurt.

A sanctuary in Washington just lost 20 of their rescue big cats to this virus. It is not getting less dangerous for your cats this year than it was last.

Twenty wild cats dead of bird flu at sanctuary near Shelton

The people who run this sanctuary here on Harstine Island say the death of the cats feels like a death in the family.

It has ALWAYS been dangerous to let house cats free roam without supervision, but it's becoming dangerous right now to be taking them on leashes if they will have access to ground birds have recently been on, or water they have accessed. Catios might be okay, if they're covered and well-screened, but I would take a moment to subscribe to your local state ag department's email or phone alerts for HPAI in your area, and react accordingly even for covered outdoor areas.

Keep the Kitties Safe!

Breaking news:

New York, Illinois, Massachusetts, and California state AG’s are already stating they will REFUSE any Trump effort to do mass deportations, attacks on reproductive rights, or attacks on LGBTQ+ rights.

These states will not allow him to enact any harmful legislation without a fight. Other blue run states are expected to join them.

One of the first things I said Wednesday morning was that I needed a statement from the Governor of New York (where I live) that the state would throw down to protect the people here and I'm so relieved that she and Letitia James wasted no time making such a statement.

gen z has to reckon with its radicalization problem. you are not a morally pure and superior generation of youth come to save the world, your men and boys are radicalized at an unprecedented level and you ignore it because it’s too hard to address but you have to. these boys are in your classes, they date your friends, you know them and you cannot continue to pretend this is an “old white guy” problem

[carolinaknowswhy]

girls are contributing, too. the coquette aesthetic, the “i don’t want to girlboss i want a man to pay my bills”, girlmath girljob girlmoney. it’s a joke, it’s clothes, it’s whatever, i get it but it is driving a mentality of traditional gender roles and you know you’re joking but your boyfriend doesn’t. your kid brother doesn’t. you have to stop this shit it is a contributing factor

dems didn’t “throw” the election. neither side ever “throws” an election. as i said before, the cool kids call that idea “coping.” there’s no such thing as losing when you’re a ruling class politician taking turns on who gets to press the big red lockheed martin button.

[pure]

democratic candidates don’t need to “learn their lesson” “learn from their mistakes” “listen to their base” “wake up from their incompetence.” you are still persuaded by their trickery if these are your conclusions. they are not rivals to republicans. they are allies; they represent the ruling class. again and again i’ll reiterate—they’re not making mistakes and they are not incompetent. they’re doing very well for themselves because the working class still consents to this process no matter what.

the ones who are incompetent, refusing to learn lessons, and the ones who are not learning from their mistakes are the american working class, because we are the ones who refuse to listen to politicians. if we listened to “our” candidates, we would quickly find out that no one represents our class interests. we have no candidates. we simply get to choose who sits at the helm of a bloodthirsty empire that will cannibalize its own servants. americans are the enemy to world peace.

If I have to see one more “we survived him before we can do it again” post I’m going to scream.

So many people didn’t. So many more people are going to die. Women are going to bleed out in parking lots because doctors are scared to give them the abortion they need. Migrates are going to die in detention centers. Kids are going to have their parents ripped away in mass deportations. Potentially millions of people are going to lose their healthcare.

Yes, we keep fighting, but don’t say we survived before. A lot of people didn’t.

When Trump claimed that dead people voted in the 2020 elections, it was because he killed them.

I mean this wholeheartedly.

The nation was in the middle of COVID, it was a days long wait to know who the president was. Every single policy and protection that could have saved them wasn't there and they died. Either then or before the extensive recounts.

Dead people voted in the 2020 elections because Donald Trump and his administration killed them. And now RFK jr, one of the people responsible for around 2/3rds of vaccine misinformation that continues to kill people to this day has been promised a role in a major public health organization by Trump.

White men: your vote is private, too.

If your friends or pastor are claiming that a vote for a woman makes you less of a man, they’re full of shit and should be called out on it. But that can be difficult, so if you prefer to just go into that booth and mark the box next to the one candidate whose brain isn’t completely cooked, who has economic plans that will work ready to roll out, and who has no advisors seeking to create a white nationalist state, you can vote your conscience. You can vote to protect your family and your country.

No one will know.

Fun fact: churches can lose their tax exempt status by endorsing a candidate. If you see churches supporting trump, the IRS will be very interested in hearing about it.

First of all, this is the city of Hebron. A city in the occupied West Bank. The fact that there are IOF terrorists here imposing laws on Palestinian territory is in itself not only an apartheid, but an occupation. The area here is to the Tomb of the Patriarchs/the Sanctuary of Abraham and the pathway is partitioned under the IOF's jurisdiction. They don't have that right.

Second, the map below shows several checkpoints in different sections of the city and roads that are off-limited to Palestinians, this is apartheid.

Third, the segregation points are there because of the increasing enroaching Israeli settlements in Hebron and the city center, all of which are also illegal under international law.

Here is the city map provided by Btselem and you tell me this isn't an apartheid
