Peste des Petits Ruminants (PPR), also known as sheep and goat plague, is a highly contagious animal disease affecting small ruminants🐑🐏🐐. Once introduced, the virus can infect up to 90 percent of an animal heard, and the disease kills anywhere from 30 to 70 percent of https://t.co/THdgzztT9f #PesteDesPetitsRuminants #AnimalHealth #LivestockDiseases #Therearenospecificcountriesmentionedinthetweetprovided.

Of course there should be consequences to the UK's announced trade ban: other states should follow, build on it, restore respect for the rule of law. May justice be contagious! And imagine if the US for once took inspiration from others instead of pressuring them into complicity. #TradeBan #RuleOfLaw #Justice #UK #US

The Evolution of Modern Leftism Left-wing and woke ideology often presents itself through noble ideas: compassion, justice, equality, and progress. But progress toward what? That question is rarely asked. To understand modern leftism, we must look back nearly 200 years. Ideas evolve like viruses: when society develops resistance to one form, academics modify it until it becomes more contagious, destructive, and difficult to recognize. Hegel proposed the dialectic: opposing ideas—a thesis and antithesis—collide to produce a synthesis. Marx applied this framework to economics through dialectical materialism. He viewed history as a struggle between the “haves” and “have-nots” and predicted that workers would overthrow capitalism and create a communist utopia. When Marx’s vision failed, Lenin reworked it. He argued that workers needed to be led by an elite revolutionary class. This produced the idea of perpetual revolution: after one oppressor is defeated, the next ruling class becomes the new enemy. The struggle never ends. The Frankfurt School later adapted Marxism for the West. It argued that capitalism’s material success had made workers less receptive to revolution, so the focus shifted to culture, education, media, religion, and the arts. The goal became a gradual “long march through the institutions.” Postmodernists expanded the theory further, arguing that power exists everywhere—not only between rich and poor, but also between men and women, racial groups, heterosexual and homosexual people, and colonizers and the colonized. The personal became political. Intersectionality then presented oppression as a matrix in which every identity adds another layer of victimhood and moral authority. At one extreme is the idealized figure of a poor, disabled, rural, transgender lesbian woman from a developing country. At the other is the supposed ultimate oppressor: a wealthy, educated, able-bodied, straight, white, cisgender, Christian, Western man living in a city. Modern progressivism, in this view, is essentially neo-Marxism in drag.

Tiger Bear Wolf from Greensboro, North Carolina, bring a contagious, manic energy with the progressive proto-punk / math-tinged hard rock track “Wolf.” “Wolf” is a hard beast to contain and put in a genre box. It definitely ticks the proto-punk boxes. We have the chaotic, manic energy that almost collapses into instrumental freakouts reminiscent of The Who or The Stooges. Then you are chicaned into the colossal struts and precision of Led Zeppelin.  The choruses soar into cigarette-lighter arcs that any prog rock band in the 1970s would have killed for… and then there is a splash of math rock that feels very Angine de Poitrine. Ordinarily, you may feel that this sounds a little inaccessible, but Tiger Bear Wolf agilely and compellingly dances the serpentine mess into something tightly wound, manageable, and magnetic. https://hvdommelen.nl/ru/TigerBW.html

“This outbreak is not likely to spark a pandemic, mostly because the hantavirus is less contagious than influenza, measles, and SARS-CoV-2. But given just how little experience we have with this virus, any certainty is hubris.” A sobering piece on how little we know — and on how #Hantavirus #PublicHealth #VirusKnowledge #Thetweetdoesnotspecificallymentionanycountries.Therefore #theresponseis: (nocountrycodes)

I need you to get mad. What don’t you understand? The democrats gerrymandered our maps for decades, while Republicans sat back and watched — “Midwest nice” — “Utah nice.” The democrats took down our borders, cut down fences, and allowed millions of illegal aliens to invade us. Then, they used the illegal immigration invasion to overcrowd our schools, hospitals, and housing. Then, the democrats counted them — illegal aliens — in the Census for the specific purpose of diluting American votes — taking away House seats from legal Americans. With 500,000 homeless and 50,000 homeless veterans, democrats pushed Americans into the streets and welcomed their new voters into taxpayer-funded homes and hotels. Democrats watched as illegal aliens murdered our people; from rapes, to DUI, to death by opioids. They welcomed the Cartel and MS-13 to grow like a cancer within our country. We are nothing to the democrat party. Their own voters are nothing to them. Just pawns — just chess pieces in a game stacked against the American people. Then, they tried to bankrupt President Trump. Then, they stole an election from him. Then, they fried to remove him from the ballot. Then, they tried to imprison him. Then, they tried to kill him. Through immense peaceful blood, sweat, and tears, we gave President Trump the POPULAR vote in 2024. We won everything — except Senate seats down ballot because it was never in the plan to allow us a 60-seat threshold. Democrats may be a lot of things, but they know Republican Senators will always be weaker than they are. Now, with a Republican White House, House, and Senate, our weak Republican Senate is on the verge of giving democrats ultimate power. Even in control, Republican Senators are incapable of wield powering and delivering victories. With 84% of Americans in agreement for photo ID and proof of citizenship, spineless jellyfish would rather deliver decline than seize this great opportunity handed to them on a golden platter. Why aren’t you shouting to the rooftops? Why are you scrolling social media instead of writing letters? Why aren’t you planning a peaceful trip to DC to meet with your Members of Congress? Why are you not calling and texting everyone you know to empower them to take action? Courage is contagious. We, American people, will simple not tolerate inaction. We expect results. We demand results. We will not sit back and watch our Republican Senate hand victories to the democrats because they are too busy taking weeks off instead of daring to work on behalf of the American people. Get mad. Be peaceful, but — for the love of our nation — take peaceful, positive action. -
