The image in this Promoted Tweet for a "news" source called The Epoch Times. They are using a photo of rats, implying it's from a story about a "secret biolab" in California. The photo is actually for frozen rats that are for sale as reptile food at a shop from Houston, Texas: https://www.repticulturehouston.com/product/rats-frozen-/93

Original Tweet
Tweet embedding is no longer reliably available, due to the platform's instability (in terms of both technology and policy). If the Tweet still exists, you can view it here: https://twitter.com/foo_bar/status/1687145134088155137
Please note, though, that you may need to have your own Twitter account to access that page. I am currently exploring options for archiving Tweet data in a post-API context.
