Amanda is an old college friend of mine whose one of the best caretakers for her birds I've ever seen over the years. Any monetary help and shares would be super appreciated to help her sweet birbs out since Mango is gonna need medication for the rest of her life.
So as we drive back to pick up Mango from an avian specialist vet 3 hours away, we have an update. What's been wrong with Mango is this:
They found that she has a heart murmur and almost certainly has heart disease. It is genetic. It is treatable, but not curable. She will need to be on 3

There are so many people living lives of quiet dignity despite horrific medical news or poverty or tragedy where every day they still wake up and try to be good people in the world even as the world pushes against them and it makes me even angrier at the absolute shitheads that rule over things

I don't think normal people have any idea that the US Government just talks this way now.
It's not just Trump and some rando podcasters (which is bad enough). It's our government. In a democracy. Ours.

Please send some kindness Amanda’s way. Mango is very sick.
Bringing Mango to the vet early. Something is really wrong. I will be honest and say I'm not sure she is going to make it.

Kash, say that again slowly, and really listen to yourself.

Prices for food and other consumer products are already high, and tariffs only made the problem worse. How much worse will the situation become if there’s a shortage of truckers to transport goods?
The U.S. Transportation Department is threatening to shut down thousands of truck driving schools, part of the Trump administration's widening crackdown on industry.
