Hello out there in TV Land. Que dafuq sais-je?
No joke: I got angry hate mail today for writing an obituary of a Black woman scientist—because the person felt she did didn’t deserve the recognition. Which just makes me want to share it again: www.nature.com/articles/d41...
Gladys Mae West obituary: mathematician who pioneered GPS technology
She made key contributions to US cold-war science despite facing huge barriers as a Black woman.

The slimeball-in-chief actually posted this unambiguously racist garbage.
Donald Trump just posted a video of Somali people enjoying the Mall of America to the soundtrack of “Mad World” because he is a bigoted POS
Happy Easter and help unsell the war!

The real Supergirl.
In 1957, at 15 y/o, Dorothy Counts walked through hatred with her head held high. Her steps helped pave the way for future generations to sit in classrooms that once tried to shut them out. We honor her bravery. We remember her resilience. #BlackWomensHistoryMonth

FLORIDA: “A real judge? This is the craziest thing I’ve ever seen.” Cherise Doyley, a mother of 3, had to face a judge via zoom from the hospital while in labor as they tried to force her to have a C-section she didn’t want.😳 #ForcedBirthNation More: www.propublica.org/article/flor...
Timeline cleanse. But take notes.
She taught thousands of Black Americans how to defeat Jim Crow with a pen. Septima Poinsette Clark helped build citizenship schools that taught people to read, pass voter registration literacy tests and claim their right to vote. Her classrooms helped build the civil rights movement. #SheShed #V4V

Kansas is sending letters to trans people telling them that their licenses will be revoked as of tomorrow and that they risk arrest for driving on a suspended license. This is pure cruelty. www.erininthemorning.com/p/kansas-sen...
Measles vaccinations are down by more than TWO-THIRDS in a marginalized community because our federal government's bullshit has people too scared to go to the doctor's.
In 2006, 92% of Somali 2-year-olds were up-to-date on the measles vaccine, according to the Minnesota Department of Health. Today’s rate is closer to 24%, according to state data. apnews.com/article/meas...

Hopefully someone at the Washington DC Holocaust Museum can speak to these seniors about the inappropriateness of comparing their past experiences to the current experiences of their caregivers. www.jta.org/2026/01/30/u...

Wow! This read-along of the NYT moment-by-moment leading to the murder of Alex Pretti should shake everyone awake. He was a Good Samaritan. Agents fired at least ten shots in roughly five seconds. DHS and Pam Bondi claim Pretti approached them armed and intent on a “massacre.”
pretty sure he meant the other thing, grok, but very cool that those are your two things
@peters.senate.gov new report found that DOGE put YOUR sensitive data at risk. Whistleblowers say that because information was uploaded to an unsecured server, it could be hacked – and every American could need to be issued a new Social Security number.
If you live in the Cities, an easy way to help immigrant families in hiding is: laundry! Laundromats are ICE magnets, so people without washers need help. The People’s Laundry will drop off laundry to your door to wash and dry and pick up a few days later: thepeopleslaundrympls.com/volunteer/
This is Minneapolis: Walk into my neighborhood ACE last night & see the signage on their door notifying fed agents that it’s private property and cannot be used for immigration enforcement. These signs are all over the city. Walk in & the nearest shelf has goggles & whistles.

Mississippi’s largest synagogue was set on fire before dawn Saturday. Fire department ruled it arson, and a suspect has been arrested. It is the same synagogue that the Ku Klux Klan bombed in 1967 because the rabbi supported civil rights. mississippitoday.org/2026/01/10/f...
I confess that the video released earlier left me with the uneasy impression that the victim *might* have driven directly at her killer. This new footage disabused me entirely of any thought of the agent's presumed panic, vindicating instead a killer's rage. Please, please watch and share.
This was murder, and listening to Noem is a waste of your time, IDGAF how they want to spin it. Fuck them; it’s murder. This is a different angle of the shooting that I haven’t seen yet. #Pinks #FuckICE #ProudBlue #RESIST youtu.be/LnfiWmX_mTE?...
