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.

Let this sink in
CBP And ICE Rampant Criminality And Corruption

Criminality is so rampant inside CBP that one of its own agents or officers was arrested every 24 to 36 hours since 2005.

From 2005 to 2024 - 4,913 CBP officers and Border Patrol agents were arrested.

However bad you think the corruption and misconduct at ICE and CBP is — the reality is far far worse.

Let that sink in. And think forward as the numbers grow holding them becomes inconvenient. The Nazis gassed and cremated. History will record America’s solution. Just as unfavorably.
ICYMI: The US is currently holding three times as many people in immigrant detention as were detained in the Nazi concentration camp system in spring 1939 — six years into the Third Reich, and just before the start of World War II.

Unbelievably sad and equally infuriating.

Exactly!! I’ve been saying this for months. There likely isn’t even a list of who is there and where they were when disappeared. Unconscionable
"A 2-year-old boy was breastfeeding in detention. One 6-year-old boy had leukemia. An 8-year-old girl began wetting the bed. A 14-year-old girl engaged in self-harm...None of these children or their parents had a criminal history anywhere in the world."

How humiliating for the US and a party in power that professes to be pro birth. I guess it’s not their problem after the child is born.

Ellison: "The real problem with the case is not that the judge didn't understand the gravity or facts. The problem is there is no legal precedent for this. We've never seen a moment in American history where through force of arms, an administration was trying to bully a state into submission."

So many people have no idea what a treasure public libraries are. Please visit yours, get a card, and avail yourself of all their offerings digital, physical and community programs. Inform yourself. It’s a respite.
Support your public library. Defend your public library. Slay the enemies of your public library.

There are HUNDREDS of kids in ICE custody.
Circulate this please. This is insanity 👇
#ProudBlue #Voices4Victory

Lawyer: I’ve been representing a mother & her 5 children. The 2 youngest children have lived 20% of their lives in this facility. We’ve had awful reports of mental health deterioration. This facility is a jail. It’s unconscionable that there are children at this facility.

A 🧵re protective masks for ICE protesters (in Minneapolis MN and elsewhere). I am not a scientist, but my BF has a PhD in inorganic chemistry and provided this info to me so I could provide it to you. Please share and re-post it widely. It may save someone, esp. from green gas ICE is using (1/x)

Trump promised families lower costs on day one — and then pursued policies that drove prices up instead.

@banking.senate.gov just released a new report detailing how the President's policies are making YOU pay hundreds of dollars more for basics like electricity and groceries.
