Ok, so what’s the number to reach Senators, and what do we say?

C’mon, Democrats. Lead.

Basic organizing: a call to action.

Shouldn’t be a random Forest Service worker adding these details, but here we are.

So easy:

📞 “Senator, please use your voice to stop Utah Sen. Lee’s public land grab.”

That channel is now on its way to 300,000 subscribers and has nearly 50 million views. We have be aggressive and go into spaces we're not already in.

Russian hackers compromised Signal, and the Pentagon and Hegseth were aware.

Steve Witkoff was in Russia when he participated in the Signal group chat about Yemen, making things even more convenient for the Kremlin. Tulsi Gabbard was also in the chat, so she could have relayed information as well.

I don't think this info got the attention it deserved.

Both longhorn crazy ants (Paratrechina longicornis) and humans can figure out how to work together to move an unwieldy object through a series of obstacles. So scientists pitted the two against each other.

Ants won.

The video is ace.

Ants best humans at test of collective intelligence

But Musk now blaming Ukraine.

On X he said it was orchestrated by “IP addresses originating in the Ukraine area”

Guarantee he's doing it as a pretext of cutting Starlink service.
