These giant African rats sniff out tuberculosis in 3 seconds flat, work microscopes take a full day to do. APOPO's HeroRATs are already saving lives across Africa and Asia.

Ben Mueller’s assignment for his HS journalism class was to tell a news story, any news story, in the form of an extended IG slideshow. This investigative #CupOfJoe turned a California student newspaper into a free-speech flash point. Bravo to this young man!

One thing’s for sure: Minnesota and Tim Walz aren’t behind the cyberattack. 🚨 ABC News: More than a dozen states have been hit by water system cyberattacks as new evidence points to Iran.

In Monopoly one player slowly hoards all the wealth until the 'game' is too expensive for anyone else to play. Exactly what is happening in real life.

Lot of germs floating around since RFK, Jr. got the job. 🦠 #USDemocracy #Pinks

A system designed by the Haves to keep the Have Nots down.😒 #USDemocracy #Pinks

Has it escaped attention that trump ordered up the National Guard; to protect the algae-swamp goo that is the reflecting pool, BUT did not order up the National Guard to protect the US Capital on J6? This is the discription of the POTUS #PedophileOfTheUnitedStates and his GOP #GangOfPedophiles

This should horrify all of us! Women in ICE detention underwent invasive medical procedures without informed consent. Senator Jon Ossoff’s bipartisan investigation called the findings “nightmarish & disgraceful” Everyone deserves dignity, bodily autonomy & human rights! #SheShed #ViVaHerAlliance

If it turns out Mitch McConnell is dead and the GOP are involved in a coverup to prevent a special election that is mandated by Kentucky law, people need to go to prison. Full stop.

The way they think this is a "gotcha". Dems actively got Platner and Swalwell out and they elected theirs President

Writer Beware is currently receiving an incredible volume of reports of impersonation scams: publishers, editors, literary agents, production companies, conferences, & more. I started keeping a list in 2024; in recent months it has more than doubled. writerbeware.blog/2024/03/15/t...

Brilliant. How real trolling is done.

Vouchers leech taxpayer dollars from the public school system—where 90% of students go—and redirect them to unaccountable institutions. Governors who support public education will not opt in.

"the Pentagon had [now] granted exceptions to Hegseth’s optional flu shot policy to the Army, Navy, Air Force, National Security Agency, and the Defense Health Agency" 🙄 anything to avoid admitting fault, i guess

Today marks four years since Republicans ripped away the national right to abortion. Every single Republican in the Senate helped enable this new and horrifying reality. I'm not going to let Americans forget.

Spread the word about November. #USDemocracy #MomSky #Abortion #ProChoice

Mona Khalil, Lebanon’s most well-known sea turtle conservationist, died of her wounds today after being injured by an Israeli strike I feel sick

Dementia patients often find it hard to complete simple tasks.

“Today, House Ways & Means Social Security Subcommittee Ranking Member John B. Larson…introduced a Resolution… to compel…Trump to hand over documents…relating to a whistleblower allegation that a ‘DOGE’ staffer bragged about copying confidential records from the [SSA] onto a thumb drive…” 4/30/26…1/

Apparently, Eric has become dependent on insider trading tips to improve his odds of winning a bet. He badgered a fighter for information. Makes me wonder if he uses insider information when purchasing stocks. Someone close to the President has.

Rep. Ansari on Epstein assistant: "She said she set up calls with Donald Trump before their alleged fallout about once a quarter"

The White House press corps won't be allowed on White House grounds Sunday — unless the UFC gives them press credentials. The UFC is hosting a fight on the South Lawn that day. The White House normally handles credentialing for large-scale events, but it's ceding control to the UFC.

Watching Hunter speak so directly now, I wonder if he was given the same dogshit “shut up and say nothing” advice that so many others who went through political smear campaigns heard over the last few years. Advice from the 1990s.

Let's not forget: “I moved to L.A. and worked for HBO for about 5 months... I created a whole world for it, did the casting,. [At] the last minute, HBO was like, ‘We're not hiring you...’ A year later, I saw this billboard [for Euphoria], and it’s exactly what I am, as a copy of my work.”

Defeating Viktor Orban’s autocracy after 16 years in power “had looked like an impossible quest,” M. Gessen writes. “The triumph was stunning — unique in our era of democratic backsliding — and it holds clear lessons for the United States.”

In normal times, the fact that government officials at HHS blatantly lied to the public and got caught would be a scandal of unusual size. Everyone involved in this disinformation scheme against the people of the United States should be held accountable.

Here’s a thought — Maybe these people don’t deserve to be handsomely rewarded? (From NPR)

iIt is a decision that shifts the balance. Behind the purchase of the new Airbus A330 MRTT lies a shift in the centre of gravity of Italy’s defence, which is now looking increasingly to Europe within NATO, leaving behind the US option linked to the Boeing KC46 #Pinks www.euronews.com/my-europe/20...

So Donald says he needs a billion dollar ballroom to protect him from assignation attempts—but every weekend he rides around in an open golf cart on a golf course, a place where someone supposedly tried to assassinate him. He is lying to us.

This is a useful graphic to understand and share with others when discussing redrawing maps for redistricting. You can see by the example that a 60% blue state could end up with a majority of districts that are red. You can see what is meant by compact (close together) and fair or not fair.

Hot off the press. A well referenced high quality statement from the International Hantavirus Society. High level: - Andes strain is different - some spread will occur - pandemic potential is tremendously low - lots to learn - what happens next is up to us zenodo.org/records/2007...
