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.

January 6 was the worst day of my life. But the threat of Donald Trump didn’t end when the mob left the Capitol.

That’s why I’m running for Congress: to defend this country, with the full constitutional authority of Congress.

I’m Harry Dunn. And I’m ready to finish the job.

John Roberts has started requiring some Supreme Court employees to sign nondisclosure agreements after confidential information about a pro-Trump decision and an internal memo were leaked.

Clerks and members of the court's support staff signed them in 2024, and new arrivals have continued to do so.

Black History Month is a time to recognize the lived, shared experience of all Black folks who have fundamentally shaped, challenged, and ultimately strengthened America. It’s about taking an unvarnished look at the past so that we can create a better future.

With all the chaos in Trump’s regime– ICE, Epstein, Tariffs, and on and on–

The FBI raid in #FultonCounty cannot be ignored. Who thinks that desperate Trump will not manipulate the votes he illegally retrieved!?

Democratic Senate and Congress-–
DO SOMETHING!!

The new #CreativeStudio from #Apple uses up 10 additional GB of space on my iPad plus charges a monthly fee. Don’t want it. Won’t use it (I only used Pages and Numbers). Apple is greedy and I am so tired of being told how to set up my world by them! Wish I could just use the apps I want to use.

The greatest threat to Trump & Co is time due to his age. But the greatest threat to the United States has always been its racism within. Until we deal with it competently, another Trump will arise.

If you want proof that Trump is going to try to rig the elections, here it is:

In a letter to Gov. Tim Walz Saturday, Bondi claimed that Walz could “restore the rule of law” by complying with a list of demands, including giving the Department of Justice (DOJ) the state’s voter registration records.
AG Bondi demands access to Minnesota voter rolls after fatal Border Patrol shooting
Her demand came as Minneapolis was reeling from a second fatal shooting by a federal agent this month.
