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.

Alex Pretti, by accounts of people who knew him, was as kind and compassionate a human as any of us can ever strive to be. One of the best of us. His last act, trying to help a woman pushed to the ground.
Tonight, honor a good man 🕯️
Then, onward on a path to hold all those responsible, accountable.

This powerful message: “I did the research and found out I was wrong.”
I’m not going to say much more except please take the time to watch. Then send it around to family and friends, no matter their political persuasion.

Last night was the 250th anniversary of Paul Revere's midnight ride to warn the Minutemen of approaching British troops.
I want to take a moment to share an excerpt from the Declaration of Independence's grievances against King George III.
Remind you of anyone?

Rights of due process don't depend on our personal opinions of the accused. For example, I regard the January 6, 2021, criminals as insurrectionists and traitors - yet I am still glad that each and every one of them got a proper trial before they were convicted and sentenced.

Sen. Booker’s speech was a substantive and moral account of this moment. He did not read the phone book. He did not babble.
For 24 hours @booker.senate.gov laid out a detailed, damning, and critical narrative of truth, history, politics, morality, humanity.
What will you do?

Disruption is all they seem to understand—so that’s exactly what they’re getting. For 14 hours, @booker.senate.gov has been on the Senate floor, speaking truth within the rules. This cannot be business as usual when our democracy’s on the line. Thank you, senator.

🚨 CALL YOUR SENATORS TODAY! 🚨
Tell them to:
1. Vote NO on Cloture
AND
2. Vote NO on the Republican spending bill.
Especially if they're Democrats.
But call and message everyone.
(Hint: if their DC office isn't taking messages, their local state office likely is.)
*please share*

‘Creation Care’ Isn’t Enough. We Need Degrowth.
Capitalism creates the conditions for human-caused climate change, and small modifications will not solve the climate crisis.
