Blowback is a bitch ain't it? It was the US led invasion of Iraq that birthed ISIS. An invasion based on lies about terrorists being in Iraq drummed up by neocons and neolibs, and that would actually help to create a more virulent terrorist plague in the end. And it was the US that armed and trained Bin Laden for its proxy war with Russia in Afghanistan.

When you say "true story", how much history and context do you really know? Try not getting your news and 'facts' watching fox and oan news and alex jones types.

Ben-Gvir and his ilk, dangerous fanatics.

well, it's not just a housing crisis

Sure, pasteurization works. But then there's the forest...

A multi-state outbreak of HPAI A(H5N1) bird flu in dairy cows was first reportedon March 25, 2024. This is the first time that these bird flu viruses were found in cattle. CDC confirmed one human HPAI A(H5N1) infection that had exposure to dairy cattle in Texas that were presumed to be infected with the virus. While thought to be rare, this exposure to HPAI A(H5N1) bird flu virus is the first instance of likely mammal to human transmission.

anon987, this is a troll. Someone who makes excuses for and supports the genocide against Palestinians by Israel. Basically using this tragedy to dehumanize people.

This thread is filled with too many chest beating men who typically make it about themselves, completely minimizing this young woman's life and the crushing of the women's rights movement in Iran.

Chest beating comparisons to American politics, or ranking police violence in the world, dehumanizing islamaphobic remarks, some by opportunistic supporters of Israel's genocide of the Palestinian people.

Yes, but they will not be the only ones affected. Mutations and transmissions are not so tidy.

What the fuck is the point of ranking police violence other than to beat your own chest and feel smug?

It's dawning on me that many of the people using this tragedy to make comparisons are likely male.

How about focusing on the brutal crackdown on the women's rights movement instead of making it about you?

My point is why bring up the US. This story isn't about the US. This has to do with Iran brutally crushing the Iranian women's rights movement that rose up in 2020, "Woman, Life, Freedom".

By turning the convo to the US and policing in the US, you end up minimizing their plight and this young woman's story.

In case you are being serious, and didn't read the article. Cats were not made to drink infected milk. They were found infected with H5N1 on a farm after drinking raw milk from cows.

Mammal-to-mammal transmission raises new concerns about the virus's ability to spread.

On March 16, cows on a Texas dairy farm began showing symptoms of a mysterious illness now known to be H5N1 bird flu. Their symptoms were nondescript, but their milk production dramatically dropped and turned thick and creamy yellow. The next day, cats on the farm that had consumed some of the raw milk from the sick cows also became ill. While the cows would go on to largely recover, the cats weren't so lucky. They developed depressed mental states, stiff body movements, loss of coordination, circling, copious discharge from their eyes and noses, and blindness. By March 20, over half of the farm's 24 or so cats died from the flu. ...

The early outbreak data from the Texas farm suggests the virus is getting better and better at jumping to mammals, and data from elsewhere shows the virus is spreading widely in its newest host. On March 25, the US Department of Agriculture confirmed the presence of H5N1 in a dairy herd in Texas, marking the first time H5N1 had ever been known to cross over to cows. Since then, the USDA has tallied infections in at least 34 herds in nine states: Texas, Kansas, Michigan, New Mexico, Idaho, Ohio, South Dakota, North Carolina, and Colorado.

The fines are a joke, they seem to be stuck in time like living wages.

Miami-Dade Schools PD "The largest school police department in the nation"

I'm surprised it took this long. Cellphones should be placed in lockers or into classroom size cellphone holder/chargers that many schools use when they enter class if they are not asked to keep it in their lockers all day, save lunch.

Surprised by some of the comments, def not teachers but sound like folks who might die if you were to separate them from their phones.

Cellphones in classrooms are a problem and shouldn't be allowed whether that's 100% enforceable or not.

WTF is wrong with you? Your entire response entirely dismisses this young persons tragic, horrific demise.

Have the decency to give the tragedy the respect it deserves or just ignore it. It's like a twisted version of the useless grass is greener comparison. Or people who respond to someone's feelings or concerns with a, just be glad you're not ________ (some bullshit comparison). Totally minimizing that person's experience, sweeping it away. Managing to not to do any justice to the thing being compared with either.

Fuck this Iranian regime. Fuck gross backwards ass patriarchal bs wherever it exists.

"South Africa is still the most unequal country in the world in terms of wealth distribution, according to the World Bank, with race a key factor."

Apartheid was a system of institutionalised racial segregation that existed in South Africa and South West Africa from 1948 to the early 1990s. Apartheid was characterised by an authoritarian political culture based on baasskap, which ensured that South Africa was dominated politically, socially, and economically by the nation's minority white population.

To be clear it's a case going back to 2022, but still concerning.

I suspect your downvotes might be from folks misunderstanding originalism.

"a legal philosophy that the words in documents and especially the U.S. Constitution should be interpreted as they were understood at the time they were written"

It's like religion stating everything we ever needed to know was written thousands of years ago and we should just apply it like we were living in those times.

Barrett is a self-proclaimed originalist, embracing a theory of the Constitution that is also shared by at least two other sitting justices: Justices Clarence Thomas and Neil Gorsuch.
