The Trump administration is offering state and local law enforcements large amounts of cash to join their mass deportation drive. Police officers should focus on public safety, instead of carrying out the federal government's anti-immigrant policy.

The condor, which had grown splendidly large, remembered the man who rescued it from the brink of death after it fell from the nest as a baby chick, nursed it back to health, and raised it. When visiting, it spreads its wings, rubbing its body against the man as if in gratitude and nostalgia...

9/ Do you keep passengers on a ship that isn’t designed for isolation, or disembark into quarantine facilities? Neither is simple or low-risk. If they quarantine in a hotel, this would minimize mixing with other passengers, but also increases risk to others, specifically those transporting them.

7/ In cases where transmission has been observed or believed to have occurred, even though it likely occurred via inhalation, there was still prolonged, close contact with someone who was symptomatic at the time (though mildly). This virus is behaving as we would expect, thus far.

6/ Data on the Andes virus suggest that it doesn't mutate quickly, so it's unlikely that, between the time on the cruise ship and the plane, the virus suddenly gained the ability to spread efficiently from person to person.

5/ There may be another French case (but it’s uncertain at this point.) The rumors suggest that this may be from a plane. This isn't great news (obviously) but also not surprising. One woman left the ship a few days ago to be with her husband (that died), and then she also happened to get sick

4/ Cruise ships are uniquely high-risk environments for any infectious disease as they have shared air systems, tight quarters, and prolonged contact. That’s why investigators are treating all 150 passengers and crew members as potentially exposed.

3/ This type of hantavirus can spread person-to-person under specific conditions: prolonged, close contact with an infected person. Past Andes outbreaks have involved very close contact settings—caring for a sick person, sleeping in the same bed, or prolonged indoor exposure during symptoms.

2/ It's also been confirmed that this is Andes virus, a hantavirus found in the Americas. The working hypothesis is that someone got this from a rat on an excursion, then unknowingly brought it on the ship.

1/ Update on what we know about the evolving hantavirus situation, strap in. A Swiss man linked to the ship has now tested positive after developing symptoms after disembarking. He received an exposure alert, sought care, and tested positive. This means there are 3 deaths and 5 suspected.

Khanna: "Someone obviously got to Lutnick from the administration. In fact, he said he talked to people in the administration and that's why he's changed his tune. The question is why he's covering up."

10/ Additionally, it requires a country to allow the ship to dock, which seems challenging right now.

Great thread. Very informative. Thank you!

Calling Congress is important, but so is calling local officials! The Nassau County Executive Bruce Blakeman certainly needs a fk ton of calls to his office. Tell him that his county's partnership with ICE is unacceptable! Call him, Long Island! (516) 571-3131. www.fox5ny.com/news/ny-immi...

Does it bother you that Trump & Republicans are using YOUR TAXPAYER DOLLARS to pay for concentration camp-like detention centers that torture innocent men, women and children and even babies? Have you called Congress at 202-224-3121 to complain? DON'T BE COMPLICIT in #ICELawlessness 🧵

There will be a lot of drinks on the day this picture becomes a reality. Every drink will be a celebration that the disgusting tangerine tyrant is gone. The celebration will absolutely dwarf any 4th of July celebration since it will be world wide.

Khanna: "Now we know why that interview was not videotaped. If Donald Trump had seen the video transcript, he would've fired Howard Lutnick. It was really embarrassing ... it was just contortions and lies, and no acknowledgment that he misled the American public [about Epstein]."

It's only a leak, if it's true.

We are at war with Iran because we have a fool for a president.

If Lutnick is not asked about this when he testifies in Congress today, it would be profound negligence. Here’s proof that he lied about his relationship with Epstein and had deeper financial ties with the sex criminal than he admitted. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Ted Lieu: "I have a red line in determining which Democrat I will support for President That person must commit to removing the stain of Trump's name from every single federal building, & kick it off with a grand public ceremony w/ fireworks – you think I'm kidding, i'm not kidding"

Oh look, the FBI is being mafia-ish. #Fascism

We need a comprehensive global boycott of Israel.

An Israeli court on Wednesday rejected an appeal by two foreign nationals, one Spanish and one Brazilian, challenging their detention in Israel. The two men were seized in international waters last week while participating in a humanitarian aid flotilla (cont.) www.france24.com/en/middle-ea...

The Trump administration has gutted the CDC’s Vessel Sanitation Program, firing every full-time inspector responsible for investigating cruise ship outbreaks.

The FBI has raided the office of Virginia Senate President Pro Tempore L Louise Lucas. This comes weeks after she spearheaded a redistricting effort in Virginia, netting up to four new blue seats.

New satellite imagery shows Iran has bombed at least 228 U.S. military assets, far more than previously reported by the U.S. government.

The rate of newborn deaths is surging as American babies bleed to death from vitamin K deficiency, which is preventable with a single shot at birth. Widespread medical disinformation has caused more parents to refuse vitamin K shots for their children.

There was no greater and more effective advocate in the VA redistricting fight. It's 1000% clear what Trump is doing here.

BREAKING: The FBI is raiding the office of Virginia Senate President Pro Tempore L. Louise Lucas in Portsmouth, Virginia, according to Fox News, who was conveniently on the scene. 1/4
