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.

Amazon is helping fund a $300 million build of a ballroom for the White House.

Independent bookstores are donating to food banks and organizations that help with food insecurity.

They are not the same.

Never tell a public school teacher that they have no experience. We don’t learn about poverty, hunger, homelessness, crime, and social justice from a book.

We face these issues head on every day in our classrooms.

For some reason.

Kudos to Mayor Mamdani.

This is what economic justice looks like.

And it's a reminder of how we can fight corporate greed at the state and local level. https://www.motherjones.com/politics/2026/01/mamdani-ice-delivery-workers-settlement-backpay-uber-gig-workers-million/

🚨🚨🚨 Donald Trump would HATE if you liked or reposted this 👇👇👇

🚀🚀🚀 Democrat Christian Menefee won a Texas U.S. House seat in a special election Saturday that will narrow Republicans' already-slim majority, telling President Trump that the Democratic district "topples corrupt presidencies."

Seeing that photo of Obama putting the Medal of Freedom on Tom Homan circulate again. It's fake. Homan did get a civil service award during the Obama administration, but it wasn't the Medal of Freedom, it wasn't a medal (it was a certificate), and Obama didn't present it to him in person.

The anthem we need
I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.

WBEZ and the University of Chicago made a deliberate choice to limit their debate to just 3 candidates.

In doing so, the chose to exclude the only veteran, CPS teacher, and union member on the top of the ballot.

Governor Mills could have signed LD 1971 into law last June. Instead, she delayed until a few weeks ago and it won’t be enforced for months.

She could have protected Mainers against ICE. But she didn’t.

That’s not leadership. That’s just Susan Collins with a D next to her name.

Does this mean Texas gets invaded now? Or is that only after intrepid reporter Nick Shirley gets a scoop?
