He was sentenced to ten years. Republicans let him out after 6 months. Disgusting.

A 17-year-old in Iowa boiled beets in her chemistry class and turned them into stitches that change color when your wound gets infected. Her name is Dasia Taylor. It started as a science fair project.

She wanted a low-tech version of the "smart stitches" Tufts researchers built in 2016. Those used thread wired up with sensors and a tiny chip that pinged your phone if something went wrong. Cool, but useless without a phone or a hospital that can afford it.

Her version doesn't need any of that. Healthy skin is slightly acidic, like lemon juice but much milder. When bacteria grow in a wound, the chemistry flips and turns more like soap or baking soda.

Beet juice has a quirk. The same red pigment that stains your fingers when you cook it shifts color based on what it touches. Bright red on healthy skin. Dark purple on infected skin. The switch lines up with infection almost exactly.

She tested ten threads before finding a cotton-polyester blend that soaked up the dye and changed color within five minutes. That was the prototype.

Around 1 in 40 American surgeries end in an infection at the cut, costing hospitals more than $3 billion a year. In poorer countries the rate is closer to 1 in 9. In parts of Africa it's 1 in 6. In some Ethiopian hospitals, up to a quarter of surgery patients leave with an infection.

The whole game is catching it early. Spot it in time and antibiotics handle it. Miss the window and the patient is back on the operating table.

Dasia filed a patent in 2021 and started a medical device company called VariegateHealth in 2022. The stitches haven't been tested on real patients yet. New medical device patents can take a decade. She's also looking into a side benefit: the beet pigment kills bugs like E. coli and Klebsiella in lab tests.

Smart stitches need a phone to read them. Hers just need eyes.

The girls in the ICE detention centers are pregnant. They weren’t pregnant when they went in. We need DNA samples of every single ICE agent to match who is raping these girls. Why is this not happening?

[Kelly @broadwaybabyto]

This International Women’s Day remember there’s a President who calls female journalists “piggy” and “ugly”

Who said “grab ‘em by the p*ssy”

Who’s been accused of child rape and found liable for sexual assault

Who just blew up 168 little girls in Iran

We have a long way to go

An anti-war ad from a decade ago is going viral. Because the same wars keep happening-for the same interests, at the same cost, with the same lies

And there is it

In black and fucking white

Trump said to a 13 year old girl "Let me teach you how little girls are supposed to be."

He started this war to bury his past, to bury his fucking pedophilia

Trump needs to be ripped out of office and thrown into jail

Now.

Every drop of blood that falls in this new, illegal war with Iran, I place the blame on Republicans in Congress, who have abdicated their duty to check an out-of-control President.

Their cowardice will cost lives.

[Nina Turner @ninaturner]

Americans don’t want war.

We want healthcare.

We want good education for all, free of debt.

We want everyone to have housing.

We want livable wages.

The ruling class gets rich off war while the working class dies.

"Your attack on Iran is working. No one is talking about you raping children."

[BrooklynDad_Defiant!☮️ @mmpadellan]

This stupid jackass actually said "No President was willing to do what I'm willing to do."

That's right, because he didn't get approval from Congress to wage war on Iran, so it's ILLEGAL, and no other President had a pedo scandal he needed a war to distract from.

IMPEACH HIM.
