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.

It's absolutely wild that UK's Starmer may lose his job because of Mendelson's association with Epstein whereas in the US, the Trump Admin is filled (and led) by people with long, strong, demonstrable relationships with Epstein and his island of horrors and bupkis is happening to them.

TRIGGER WARNING, because here is a US Marshal from Trump‘s Gestapo Force in Memphis kicking a puppy today in the Whitehaven neighborhood and breaking its rib. They were serving a warrant and I guess BIG MAN got scared of the schnauzer.

We used to say, "they're saying the quiet part out loud".

Now, it's all out loud: the racist, sexist, anti-LGBTQIA+, anti-immigrant parts in a constant stream of unmitigated hate. Glaringly loud, and too many Americans are either doing little more than blinking, or worse, are in violent agreement.
(Variety) - President Donald Trump posted a racist video to his Truth Social account late Thursday with an AI-generated video of the Obamas as apes.

Let us prey
Trump at National Prayer Breakfast: "They rigged the second election. I had to win it. I needed it for my own ego. I would've had a bad ego for the rest of my life. Now I really have a big ego. Beating these lunatics was incredible ... The first time they said I didn't win the popular vote. I did"

Floored by this story. A man wrote a pollite email to a federal prosecutor objecting to the deportation of an Afghan seeking asylum. DHS responded with an administrative warrant to get the man's info from Google, then visited his home to intimidate him.

I recorded this today, in Portland, Oregon, at a huge march to the ICE facility in SW. The crowd was full of cyclists who had ridden there in memory of Alex Pretti; members of several labor unions; and ordinary citizens of every age, including this little girl. So of course ICE deployed tear gas.
