I appreciate that Sanders led a rally of 10K in WI to help protect the WI Supreme Court. But y'all, can we stop relying on one Octogenarian to save democracy?

Elon Musk is losing his mind over protests at Tesla dealerships. Why? His fortune is collapsing. Nearly all of it is Tesla stock. You know what to do, America. If you want to save our government from a coup, apparently the rebels’ weak spot is protesting and boycotting Tesla.

This's stunning. New biosensor can detect bird flu from a 5 minute sample at a concentration lower than 100 virions per m^3.😮 Can be adapted to other pathogens as well including e-coli/covid.🥳 This is like the Geiger counter for viruses; it could be used to quarantine at the start of an outbreak.😄

This shows you that Donald Trump isn’t bothered by the illegal use of force, war crimes, the bombing of civilian targets, and the kidnapping of children. At least not when Vladimir Putin does it. That’s sociopathic.
