[Joe Biden @JoeBiden]

Two hundred and fifty years ago, a group of Americans signed their names to a piece of parchment and made a promise no nation had ever made before: that we're all created equal, endowed by our Creator with unalienable rights — life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.

We're the only nation in history built not on ethnicity, or blood, or geography but on an idea. That's always been what makes us exceptional. We chose that path 250 years ago but that’s where the work began, not where it ended. Every generation has had to choose it again. At Valley Forge, at Gettysburg, on the beaches of Normandy, in the streets of Selma. Americans recommitted themselves to the principles on which our nation was founded.

Now it's our turn.

There's nothing guaranteed about our democracy. We have to fight for it, defend it, and earn it. Over and over, year after year. That's not a burden. That's what it means to be an American.

250 years in, we still haven't fully lived up to those words in the Declaration. But we've never walked away from them, and this July 4, I hope all of us can commit to one thing: that we never will. I don't believe we're as divided as we're told we are. I've bet my whole life on the American people, and I'm not stopping now.

Happy 250th birthday, America. Our story isn't finished. Let's keep writing it together.

The new White House policy requiring green card applicants to apply from outside the US is a capricious attack on legal immigration. It will hurt families, leave us with fewer doctors, teachers and scientists, and hurt American competitiveness in AI.

Great thread on the summit:

Before PowerPoint, people used slides for presentations.

The physical slides were loaded into a projector in a specific sequence, resembling a DECK of playing cards.

Many self-driving cars still have human teleoperators to prevent catastrophe. Humans operating tech remotely isn’t new; drone research from the 1990s can provide guidance on supervisory control. https://t.co/Mz08Qu5H6B

Soon, pills that can diagnose and treat you from inside your body could replace endoscopies or CT scans. The hope is these capsules could help with streamlining diagnoses, targeting therapies, and sparing patients invasive procedures. https://t.co/Dcx0FJFYAe

@sedatlaciner @DailyMail güvenilirliği düşük ve sansasyonel haber yapan bir kurum.

Yapılan haber inanması güç ise büyük ihtimalle doğru değildir. Başka kaynaklardan kontrol edip ona göre yorum yapmanız güvenilirliğiniz için daha iyi olur.

@AhmettDonmez Esmail Qaani ile ile ilgili alıntıladığınız bu tweet dalga geçiyor.

Doğru olsa argümanınıza destek olabilirdi, ama değil. Öyle şüpheler var, ama kanıt yok.

“What makes you proud of your country?” 🇸🇪

Swedes are most proud of their country’s political system (53%) – which they cite more than any other country surveyed. They are proud that their democracy “works quite well,” with “transparent authorities” and “rule of law.”
