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.

Starbucks Workers United baristas are escalating their fight for a fair contract.
I urge you to keep boycotting Starbucks — and delete its app from your phone.
Workers are fed up with low pay, chaotic scheduling, understaffing, and illegal union busting.
Let's keep fighting corporate greed.

If Jeff Bezos could afford to spend $75 million on the Melania movie & $500 million for a yacht to sail off to his $55 million wedding to give his wife a $5 million ring, please don't tell me he needed to fire one-third of the Washington Post staff.

The last president we had worth the title. A man who served the people. Change my mind!!!
🗃️ On February 2, 1977, President Jimmy Carter delivered his first “fireside chat” from the White House Library. Just two weeks into his term and donning a wool cardigan, Carter urged Americans to reduce their electricity consumption amid a national energy crisis.

He tells us what he’ll do.
We laugh, then it happens.
He promised invasion; he invaded.
He promised troops at home; they’re here.
He promised retribution; prosecutors and investigators are now targets.
He seized ballots; he’s calling to seize elections.
This isn’t bluster; it’s a plan.

I don’t care if you’re a Jew, a Scientologist, Christian or whatever turns you on.
If you in any way endorse the killing of 71,000 people and displacement of over 2 million from their homes, there’s something seriously wrong with you and you’re no better than the Nazis and their enablers in 1941.

One of the biggest blows against the illusion of Western democracy in recent years has been that there is now more popular support for Palestine than ever, the tide has turned; and yet it doesn't make any difference whatsoever.
