Hi everyone, I have a request for you all.

Please follow my page as much as possible. I get my information directly from my CDC sources some were sadly fired last week, but others remain inside, risking everything to keep me informed about Bird Flu.

I report on Bird Flu, COVID-19, Tuberculosis, Measles, and other infectious diseases.

Stay informed and share for public health awareness.

Regardless of RFK Jr being confirmed as HHS secretary, I will continue to provide evidence based health education on social media. We need more helpers now more than ever.

I’m no constitutional law scholar, but shouldn’t the Democratic members of congress be filing for restraining orders to stop each of the illegal (meaning contrary to the constitution or federal statutes) acts of Trump or his proxies? Why are they leaving it to the states and individual citizens?

Trump and Vance beclowned themselves in their meeting with Zelenskyy. They came across as weak, petty little bullies. Zelenskyy’s position will now be strengthened around the globe while America continues to sink further and further into disrepute.

Friends, you have no idea what it’s like to be Ukrainian at this moment.

We’ve been through much harder things over the last 3 years and 4 days. But this is still a punch to the stomach like few others.

Senate Republicans are about to try to advance a budget resolution that clears the way to cut taxes for Trump’s billionaire buddies.

To every Trump supporter calling me a traitor because I’m “rooting” against my own country: When my own country is on the wrong side in a fight for freedom, sovereignty and democracy, I will root against my own country. Every single time. If that makes me a traitor, so be it.

Two things surprised me the most (p.s. I haven't talked about them since I plan to write in the next article about the future of my newsletter):

Furthermore, I have also managed to sell 12 Kubernetes cheatsheets for beginners in my Gumroad shop.
