So...H5N1 (Bird Flu) is here
And all signs are pointing to a global pandemic more fatal than the one prior. The initial stages of this are a rinse and repeat of Covid-19's arrival, which saw a lot of state repression of information on the severity of infection rates and delayed enforcement of safety protocols.
Earlier this year, the U.S. saw its first death of an animal-to-human transmission of H5N1 in Louisiana; however with the rollback of safety and health federal regulations in the wake of the returning Trump administration, compounded by an executive-mandated communications blackout of the FDA, CDC and withdrawal from the WHO, conditions are ideal for a nightmarish outbreak scenario should transmissions evolve to human-to-human.
The following are reports coming from the U.K., U.S., and China in the last couple of days:
This is a CDC report from 2 weeks ago:
"As of January 6, 2025, there have been 66 confirmed human cases of H5N1 bird flu in the United States since 2024 and 67 since 2022. This is the first person in the United States who has died as a result of an H5 infection. Outside the United States, more than 950 cases of H5N1 bird flu have been reported to the World Health Organization; about half of those have resulted in death."
As of right now, I would highly implore everyone to cease the consumption of eggs and poultry products for the time being. There is currently an egg shortage due to "quality standards" in the U.S. and prices have already gone up dramatically. Get involved in community gardens and get in contact with local farmers--see what you can get directly from there! Mask up, update your vaccinations, practice proper hygiene, avoid physical contact with wild animals (birds especially), and stay safe! Look after your neighbors!

On social media the USA population are asking anyone from outside countries to properly document what is happening to them right now as they can't or are not able to.
As of the 20th of January 2025 up to the 24th January 2025 the following has happened:
Trump has signed several executive orders including:
Ruling that the United states will only recognise two genders, woman and man, and ones gender is determined by the sex they were conceived as. (his words not mine. By the way, this makes everyone effectively female) despite his stupidity, we know what he means, if one is born female, they are a woman. This effectively erases non-binary folk and forcibly de-transitions trans folk. This order claims to be defending woman from harmful gender ideology. The misogyny and outright bigotry within this order is genuinely terrifying and frustrating.
Fact sheet: Trump protects civil rights and merit-based opportunities by ending illegal DEI (diversity, equity, inclusion)
The death penalty. Trump is pushing for capital punishment to be used as often as possible for a certain list of crimes. Murder being one of them. Abortion and miscarriage has been described as murder. Woman are going to be imprisoned and slaughtered because they had a miscarriage or an abortion. This would also put those born outside of the US at greater risk of murder as the laws will be stricter towards them. Reading through the official documents, if a foreigner commits a federal crime (from as little as speeding 50miles over the limit to committing murder) they will be sentanced to death.
An alarming amount of executive orders are related to foreigners and foreign affairs such as:
Guardenteeing the states protection against invasion.
Protecting the United states from foreign terrorists and other national security and public safety threats.
Fact sheet: Trump protects the United states and American citizens by closing the borders to illegals via proclamation.
Trump has also stated in an executive order that there will be armed forces at the borders to prevent "aliens" from entering the country.

Books are continuing to be banned and religion is re-entering the schools, indoctrinating the children.
They want to take womens right to vote. They are starting with pregnant women and women on maturity leave. If they can't keep you pregnant (if you get an abortion) you would have your right to vote stripped from you as abortion is now classified as murder which is a felony. Felons can't vote.
Jim crow laws will be reinstated. The native children will be taken. You are the people, you don't work for the government, they work for you. Get the gelatine, take back your power as the people.
When Hitler first got control, he told the jews to leave germany. When Trump got control, he told the immigrants to leave the US.
When Hitler got control, he came for the Queers first. Trump went for the queers.
When Hitler got control, he came for the disabled. Trump went for the women.
There were people who came before the jews. There are going to be people who come before those of colour. Trump is a racist, a sexist and a rapist. There will be people who come before you. Stand up for them so they will stand for you, lest you stand alone.
"When they came for the Queers, i didn't say anything because i was not Queer. When they came for the jews, i didn't say anything because i was not a jew. When they came for the women, i didnt say anything because i was not a woman. When they came for the disabled, i didnt say anything because i am not disabled. But then they came for me, and there was no one left to speak for me."
There is an Australian song about inclusively, and how when we are together we are stronger.
"We are one, but we are many. And from all acorss the lands we come, to share our dreams, and sing with one voice. I am, you are, we are Australian." Honestly, the US need this song right now.

Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) conducted a raid in Newark, New Jersey that resulted in U.S citizens being detained including a United States military veteran.
This raid was conducted without a warrant and is in violation of the Fourth Amendment of the Constitution which guarantees 'the right of the people be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures..
The Mayor of Newark has been alerted and involved and legal action may be taken.

quoting my sister here because holy shit i never heard this put into perspective this way and she's so fucking right
"Jesus was rejected by society alone, and by supporting those who shut out minorities and other cultures, we might just be shutting out his own reincarnation. if anything minorities such as different races and those part of the LGBTQ have a closer connection to *heaven* itself. Being close-minded leads us to believe a false prophet"
using religion as your excuse to be a bigot goes directly against the teachings

Vague video ID: A video without hardcoded subtitles (I don’t know how good the YouTube subtitles are for this video). He speaks very quickly, so without being able to clearly understand the audio track, you’re probably not gonna be able to get much from this video. If you struggle with this type of thing, you might wanna wait to watch this video when you can have someone who can be your eyes or ears to explain what you are hearing and seeing.
Anyway, this video explains that Donald Trump has ordered the department of justice to hold any civil rights violation lawsuits so anytime a person‘s civil rights have been violated, they are not going to be able to use civil rights law to stand up for themselves. Trump‘s argument is that he wants the American government to speak with “one voice“ but apparently that voice is that of a racist white man.

Don't believe everything without a source.
I'm seeing a lot of talk about congress discussing impeaching trump in February. Please, please, please do not call attention to this. For all we know this could be just rumors and/or ppl trying to manifest something. The way an impeachment works is all parts of congress has to vote yes on it. From the senate, then representatives, and finally supreme court. This did not work last time.
For the love of everybody, do NOT get your hopes up. It is not worth the disappointment and potential failure.
We are on the way to a potential dictatorship. I have confirmed with many sources that a represenative wants to try to allow trump to run for a third term. If this happens, there is no way he will be impeached. Trump is approaching his 80s meaning dementia is also approaching. DO NOT MAKE YOURSELF A PUBLIC ENEMY TO HIM. Dictators do not like to feel threatened, if they view you as a threat they will not hesitate to take you out. I encourage you to do your own research when encountering a comment or video online.
I will try to continue to report news from both sides of the island that I come across.
Please keep yourself safe, healthy, and alive.

US withdrawal from World Health Organization:
I wanted to wait to talk about this until there was more information.
Trump has withdrawn the US from WHO, stating “…We pour in $500 million dollars..”
Upon further research, this claim is partly false. The US funds $160 million-$816 million annually, some years as high as $1.6 billion. The price changes for everyone depending on an outbreak of a disease.
All countries in WHO paid a high cost during the COVID-19 because we were in a pandemic.
This will not kill the WHO as many countries still fund it with only two being excluded from it. However, this could lead to a global health risk.
This decision is not final. The US congress will have to vote on this.

For any relocated TikTok users
you can say sex and kill its fine
If you don't have a profile picture people will assume you're a bot
theres barely an algorithm, if you want to see cool shit reblog things instead of just liking them
follower count doesnt matter
tumblr fame gets you one thing and it is Yelled At
no one knows what the fuck the nsfw policy is
block anyone that annoys you even a little bit
And most importantly:
post cringe

Please tell me that y'all won't go back to tiktok once Trump gets whatever nefarious concessions he wants from the company and "saves" it. Like, you all NEED to stay gone. Stay on Xiaohongshu or move to other platforms or create a new one or whatever, but don't go back to whatever Trump-appeasement monstrosity TikTok is about to become. Don't do it.
