how long do we have before they come for us? will i be black bagged and snatched off the street into a van full of Fed? or will they come to our house in the dark of night, blow the door off, rushing into our room w guns drawn? what hellish dungeon prison will we be dragged, & how long left to rot??

Following Israel’s interception of the Global Sumud Flotilla, organizers have vowed that they will continue “to sail until Gaza is free.” They’ve already announced that the next mission will send a thousand ships to Gaza. mondoweiss.net/2025/10/glob... #Palestine #Israel

"migrants are being terrorized because you didn't give that one guy a handy after social studies"

Cops lie! So do FBI, ICE, and anyone who gets paid to terrorize people on behalf of the government.

i have to imagine everyone in this country has to be getting tired of how annoying and tiresome every single thing the trump administration does

UPDATE: Mikeno has stopped contact and is assumed intercepted by Israel. Not a single delivery of baby formula will reach the shores of Gaza to try and save a single child's life.

None of us should feel exempt or invulnerable, because if they can do this to our neighbors, they can come for us, too. That said, those of us who are not presently among those being targeted should not focus on our own fear and vulnerability. We should support those in the immediate path of harm.

Yeah exactly. And then when it runs over a kid and there's no fucking driver? Then what. Love the "yes but human drivers make mistakes too" yeah no fucking shit but then they can try and help if something does go wrong or call the authorities.

New in The Border Chronicle 🦂 More Border Security Means Less Food Security As cuts to food assistance take effect, the U.S. government has canceled the publication of its annual hunger report.

We need a bigger national spotlight on this building raid, fam. Agents dropped from helicopters onto the roof. Citizens and non-citizens alike were dragged from their homes in the night. People who weren't kidnapped during the raid had their belongings seized after the fact. This is madness.

More Americans now say violence may be needed to get country back on track, survey says

🇮🇹🪧 NEW: Italian dockworkers have struck again. On Sept. 24, grassroots unions USB and Cobas blocked the Maltese-flagged, Greek-owned tanker Seasalvia from docking in Taranto, where it was set to load 30,000 tons of crude oil at ENI’s refinery for Israel’s military aviation fuel needs before…

Italian dockworkers are showing the world class solidarity and what it means to stand up for humanity. Where the fuck is rest of the world? Wealth inequality is at an all time high and oligarchs are implementing fascist police state levels of surveillance/oppression.

And unions with corrupt leadership like @aflcio.org are pushing for a general strike in 2028. There will be nothing left by then. 😂

Someday, we're gonna find out that the decisionmaking went like this: Mamdani proposes city-run grocery stores. Conservatives say it'll never work. Mamdani supporters point out that DOD runs a bunch of grocery stores. Hegseth decides to close them to own the libs.

in NYC this is like college applications for kindergarteners. it's hugely harmful to them and stressful for their parents and privileges people who can take time off work to fight with admins.

Elon just became worth half a trillion dollars and then suspended the account of the Global Flotilla where 200 citizens from all over the world were kidnapped by Israel All for trying to bring food and baby formula to starving people and children.

There are 4 major patterns within media coverage of GLP-1s in the US, including: 🚫 fat people being made invisible by not being interviewed by the news media 🚫 fatness being treated as a monolith @freeblackgirl.bsky.social

12/12 The lower-than-expected human death toll from #H5N1 is a scientific puzzle with profound implications. While we work to solve the mystery, the virus's relentless evolution makes robust global #preparedness urgent and non-negotiable. John M. Drake, Science www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

11/12 Calling for public health preparedness, the author identifies urgent priorities: • More extensive serological surveys to find the true scale of infection. • Coordinated animal surveillance to detect emerging variants. • Critical experiments to better understand the virus's pandemic potential.

10/12 The greatest danger is the virus's constant evolution. "The #virus will not stop #evolving," the author warns. Every new infection—in a bird, a cow, a seal, or a pet—provides another opportunity for it to #mutate and potentially acquire the ability for sustained #human-to-human #transmission.

9/12 All three theories likely play a role. The author offers a sobering warning: none of them are a reason for complacency. Even if the true fatality rate is a "low" 0.1% (similar to a bad seasonal flu), the sheer scale of a global pandemic could still have an immense and devastating impact.

8/12 The evidence for #cross-immunity is compelling. The global #H5N1 case fatality rate has steadily declined since the 2009 #H1N1 #pandemic strain became widespread. Lab experiments also show that human blood sera collected after 2009 shows a strong antibody response to the H5N1 #N1 #protein.

7/12 Theory 3: The #Immunological Hypothesis. This fascinating theory proposes that prior exposure to the N1 protein in the seasonal #H1N1 flu—specifically, the #pandemic strain that has circulated since 2009—is providing partial #cross-immunity that reduces the severity of #H5N1 infections.

6/12 The evidence for this second theory is growing. Two CDC #serological surveys in 2024 found #H5N1 #antibodies in a significant percentage of #asymptomatic dairy farm workers and bovine veterinarians. This suggests that for every confirmed case, there may be many more undetected infections.

5/12 Theory 2: The #Epidemiological Hypothesis. This theory argues the #virus isn't actually less deadly, but that we are detecting far more mild or #asymptomatic #infections than in the past, which dramatically lowers the observed case #fatality rate. #Science

4/12 Theory 1: The Molecular Hypothesis. The theory posits that #H5N1 viruses circulating in the Americas are intrinsically milder than past strains. The evidence is mixed: the virus has the key marker for high pathogenicity, but lacks some other mutations associated with severe disease in mammals.

3/12 Understanding this mystery is critical. While human-to-human #transmission remains rare, the virus's spread in other mammals increases the risk it could evolve that capacity. If it does, knowing why the current strain is less fatal will be essential for an effective response. #PublicHealth

2/12 Since the #H5N1 clade 2.3.4.4b arrived in the Americas in 2021, it has caused massive mortality in seabirds & marine mammals. Human #mortality has been markedly lower. The US case #FatalityRate (CFR) is just 1.4%, a world away from the ~50% seen in past H5N1 outbreaks. #Epidemiology #BirdFlu

1/12 🦠 WHY HAS THE NORTH AMERICAN H5N1 BIRD FLU EPIDEMIC NOT BEEN MORE DEADLY FOR HUMANS? 🦠 A new perspective piece in the journal Science explores the central mystery of the current H5N1 outbreak and lays out the three main theories that could explain it. John M. Drake reports. #H5N1 #AvianFlu

The residents of this community are quite correct to be concerned about groundwater contamination; the dead chickens that are being dumped there were culled due to H5N1 infection. These dumping practices are significant biological risks. www.tmj4.com/news/jeffers...

It is not a coincidence or a historical contingency that the US right is fundamentally based on lies. This is true for all reactionary politics at all times & places. It is intrinsic to reactionary politics.

Yall need to have higher standards for your heroes

I'm not disappointed, because as l said I'm under no illusions about the leadership here. But I am nervous that someone managing development of a tool that would "turn down the volume on toxicity" doesn't see how shouting at people asking for safety is actually part of the problem.

I'm under no illusions about this site. We've seen their priorities from day 1 But Jay you posted about working to make this site less toxic. Then you shouted in the face of someone suggesting removing a known dangerous transphobe would help with that. How can we trust you to decide what's toxic?

Why did the Spanish and Italian naval ships even escort the Samud flotilla at all if they were going to abandon them when they were most needed?

Taliban's nationwide internet blackout severs women's final thread to education, plunging dreams of online degrees and jobs into digital purgatory—while banning even lab manuals by female authors as "immoral." Absurd chains tighten. #AfghanWomen

ER doc here! This is a lie. Wait times are up because the American healthcare system is an unsustainable business model and a for-profit national healthcare system just doesn’t work. These problems will continue to get worse until we change that system. It literally has nothing to do with immigrants

Buddy I've got some bad news, this was in 20-fucking-12.

do these people not get embarrassed

There’s not a cat in hell’s chance that the fascists in the Israeli Govt will accept this plan. Netanyahu knows this. He also knows that when the plan collapses, Trump will lose interest, blame Hamas and Israel will be free to continue with its slaughter and land seizure. www.bbc.com/news/article...
