Somewhere in a forest, a Pangolin is going about its life. Somewhere on Facebook, someone is already negotiating its price. Right now, pangolins, sea turtles, and clouded leopard cubs are being sold on Facebook like second-hand furniture. Facebook is hosting the biggest criminal wildlife marketplace ever documentedand its algorithms are making sure more people find the listings. Facebook is profiting from every ad clicked. Let's ensure its investors know the cost of looking away. Sign at action.eko.org/a/stop-facebo…

Technology isn’t anywhere near as damaging to our brains as the neuroinvasive SARS-CoV-2 is.

Talarico: Here's what real men don't do. They don't lie and cheat their way through life. They don't sell their soul to the highest bidder. Real men serve others, weak men serve themselves. So I welcome this debate. I don't think Paxton or Cruz are in a position to tell anyone what a real man is.

Deniz was 16. He was used to pull carriages around central park so his human could make money. All day, every day. Deniz collapsed and died on the pavement in the park yesterday. Yet another in a long of these horses to die in NYC so people can exploit them. This practice should be outlawed. It’s selfish and unnecessary. RIP Deniz. I’m sorry humans failed you ♥️

*reposting to fix the graphics* America has more reports of road rage than ever before. Arkansas just took the #1 spot for worst road rage, followed by #2 New Mexico and #3 Louisiana in 2026, with deadly aggressive driving crashes at record levels. Covid keeps quietly damaging frontal lobes, shredding impulse control and turning minor traffic into meltdowns. This isn’t just “stress.” It’s neurological fallout we are all driving through. 🚗 💥 😡 🦠

He literally cheered for the people protecting us from these threats being fired. Then he tried to make a DOGE copy in Texas He's a horrible governor and a hypocrite who cares more about Trump than he cares about Texas ranchers and consumers

Abbott is calling for an all hands on deck situation to deal with Texas screwworm signing an emergency order to speed up the production of sterile flies. Universities across the state will be involved.

A flesh-eating parasite that was supposed to stay eradicated is now confirmed in Texas livestock, and you can thank the same administration that gutted the agencies built to stop it. The New World screwworm, a parasitic fly whose larvae literally burrow through living flesh and can kill an animal if untreated, was officially detected in a three-week-old calf in Zavala County, Texas this week. This was not a surprise to anyone paying attention. The pest had been spreading northward through Central America and Mexico since at least 2022, and experts projected it would reach the U.S. by 2025. What changed the math was the trump administration cutting roughly 15 percent of the USDA's entire workforce, around 15,000 people, including those responsible for monitoring and fighting exactly this kind of agricultural threat. The program that fights screwworms works by releasing millions of sterilized male flies to disrupt breeding, a slow, science-dependent, international cooperation kind of effort that requires, well, a functioning government. Instead, DOGE took a chainsaw to the USDA so the wealthiest Americans could pocket a bigger tax cut, and now the cattle industry is staring down a potential $10.6 billion disaster. And here is the part that hits everyone at the kitchen table: beef prices are already at a record high, with ground beef hitting $6.69 a pound in December 2025, up 72 percent since 2020. The screwworm border closures have already cut off over a million head of Mexican feeder cattle that American feedlots depend on, and the USDA is forecasting another 6.9 percent increase in wholesale beef prices in 2026. This is what happens when you gut the agencies designed to catch these problems early so billionaires can get a bigger tax cut. The irony is almost too much: the ranchers and agricultural states that went hard for trump in 2024 are now the ones watching flesh-eating maggots show up in their herds. A #Texas state Republican rep had been sounding the alarm for over a year while, as he put it, "federal regulators moved at a snail's pace." That snail's pace had a price tag, and every American buying ground beef is paying it now. #Trump #DOGE #USDA

There are plenty of world-class L0ngC0vid experts far smarter than I am. But I bring something they don’t: I’m a CV surgeon and endovascular specialist. I’ve had hearts, lungs, arteries, and other organs literally in my hands. I’ve seen their insides, healthy and ravaged, with my own eyes. That gives me one brutal, irreplaceable edge: I can take the science and translate it straight into the living, bleeding reality of human anatomy. And what I see coming is ugly. You, personally and as a society, are in for one hell of a shock. Read this 🧵👇 If you keep minimising SARSCoV2, refuse to protect yourselves, and keep swallowing the lies of pseudo-experts chasing money or psychiatrists salivating over a fresh FND goldmine… you’re walking straight into disaster. Tell every last one of them to f.ck off! Then follow the hard, unfolding science.👇 Your organs don’t care about opinions. They only care about damage. And the damage is already stacking up, be it momentarily maybe still clinically "silent"! #AvoidSars2 #AvoidReinfections

Today is the International Day of Innocent Children Victims of Aggression. For Ukrainians, this is a painful reality that has become part of everyday life. Since 2022 alone, Russia has killed 707 Ukrainian children, injured 2,548, and left 2,318 missing. The youngest victim was just two days old - born and killed in a maternity hospital. These figures may be far higher, as the full truth about what has happened in the temporarily occupied territories remains unknown. In addition, at least 20,470 Ukrainian children have been deported to Russia or forcibly displaced. Eternal memory to all the children whose lives have been taken by Russia's aggression...

Y’all are on an endless loop of reinfections with a neuroinvasive virus proven to damage the area of the brain responsible for empathy and critical thinking, so good luck with that.
i hope the next global trend will be empathy and critical thinking.

The Trump administration has been telling you they had screwworm under control for months. Now, it's here. What happened? Trump and DOGE slashed funding for screwworm monitoring programs. And the entire GOP let them. Thank them for today's new hell they unleashed on you.

There is no end in sight. My mom has kept a pre packed hospital bag ready since Omicron Ba.1 hit her hard in January 2022. We only used it once after the next wave, BQ.1, in January 2023. That one sent her to the ER with heart issues, partial coronary artery blockage, asthma, and what seems like dysautonomia. My mom has been off ever since. Some days she pushes through. Others she is hit with dizziness, chest pain, arrhythmias, dangerously low blood pressure, crushing fatigue, and that heavy sense of anxious impending doom. Tonight, she looked so unwell I wondered if I would need to take her to the ER again. She reminded me again where she kept that pre packed hospital bag incase I was to bring it to her at the hospital if she were to call 911. This new RE.2.5 variant crept through our area the first and second week of May. I am absolutely sure of it. It hides from the wastewater like something underground and surfaces without warning in random localized hotspots, just like cicadas, before vanishing again. It found the kids first in suburbias and then tore through the families. I see the same stories everywhere on social media and in my local groups. Locals in the suburbs describing the sudden wave of symptoms. Especially GI and “strep.” Lots of pneumonia and sepsis. An immune system that tanks like AIDS and getting sick on repeat with an endless cough. Full body rashes. Pink eye. Heavy brain fog. Anxiety/impending doom like feelings. Dizziness. Burning dry eyes. Blood pressure issues, chest pain and dysautonomia like symptoms. Oh and the denial factor, the ABC Anything But Covid factor, is absolutely wicked with this variant. So much so, that you might even be tricked yourselves when you hear their tales of how this was anything but Covid. It is the same dark cycle again and again. Another wave. Another fight. Another round of watching the people you love suffer while the world pretends it is over. We are so tired. I see you Cicada, RE.2.5 even if the world does not. 🦗 👀
In 2026 sickness had learned to hide in plain sight. Covid and the mystery strains that followed had quietly thinned out our immune systems until the old rules no longer applied. No more crashing fevers,no dramatic collapses, just these faint odd sudden physical sensations that slipped through the day while everyone insisted nothing was wrong. The house felt perfectly normal that morning. Sunlight pours through the windows while I sipped coffee. My husband hums in the kitchen scrolling on his phone. Our 5 y/o son giggles at something on his tablet. Everything is fine. Ordinary. Then out of nowhere my son sniffles once. A quick, casual sniff. “You okay, sweetie?” I ask. He blinks at me confused. “Yeah why?” No runny nose, no cough…nothing. He goes back to his show. By afternoon, my ears feel underwater with a faint pressure that throws my balance off with every step. Watery gunk forms at the corners of my eyes. I wipe it away and lie down for what I tell myself is just a quick rest. The exhaustion hits like a wave I did not see coming. When I wake my husband is in the hallway. He coughs once sharp and wet and clears his throat several times. “You feeling ok?” He shrugs already walking away. “I’m good. Probably pollen.” We visit my mother across town. She greets us with her usual smile, but midway through conversation her face changes. “I think I have developed type 2 diabetes. I keep dropping low,” she says quietly. “Blood sugar crashing for no reason. Yesterday I spaced out so badly I lost track of where I was for hours. Like the whole day had spun into another dimension. I had two separate realities going on at once.” She laughs it off a second later. “But I feel fine. Really...” Chills brush down her arms. She shivers then fans herself. Dizzy she says, but only in passing. When I press for more information she waves me away. “I’m not sick. None of us are. Stop worrying.” I look around the room at all their calm faces and then at my own reflection in the window. Everyone is moving through the day like nothing is wrong yet something inside of us is changing us. The world keeps spinning exactly as it should and that is what makes it so eerie. We are all carrying it. Nobody admits a thing or even realizes they have it. And in this perfect unbroken silence we have already lost the war against Covid and other emerging diseases without ever firing a single shot.
