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.

Republicans are holding hearings on natural disasters — while Trump punishes Colorado communities from the same & guts the agencies tasked with responding.

On August 17, 2017, Noam Chomsky told the Washington Examiner that antifa was “a gift to the far right”.
In between those dates he met with Jeffrey Epstein in Tuscon.

I'm not one for false optimism. But what I witnessed today in Minneapolis was tremendous, both in scale and exuberance. It was a stunning answer to the federal assault on Minnesota, a show of solidarity that gives us something to hold on to during times that are unforgiving.
“Everybody Showed Up”: Stunning Crowds at Minnesota Day of Strike and Shutdown Against ICE
Extreme cold didn't stop the shutdown on Friday as some 100 faith leaders were arrested, residents stayed home from work, and an estimated 50,000 or more marched through downtown Minneapolis.

This is just my periodic feed to the algorithm. Remember that JD Vance's mom, a Heritage American, stole drugs from her patients. These were legal drugs made by and for United States companies. Fuck JD Vance for projecting his home-grown trauma anywhere other than where it belongs. His Daddy too.

I've had a Hilton Honors account for over 30 years. I canceled it today. I don't travel anywhere near the amount I used to, so it's not much of a sacrifice for me to do so, but it was an easy way to send a message.

"DATA CENTER WATER USE DOESN'T MATTER" is one of the silliest arguments I see floating around. unless you think re-writing 200 yr old water law (OG political third rail in the US) is a simple matter, the marginal consumption of new water is literally make or break for much of life in the western US

This is totally underreported. Trump is not just going after "illegals." He's going after people who were here legally, by changing their status.
These are people who entered the US the right way, and never broke a law. Now they are subject to Trump's whim, his ICE goons, and inhuman detention.

Trump has revoked legal status for at least 1.6 million immigrants over the past year by cancelling programs like TPS and student visas.
Remember: these are people who entered the country legally.
Trump never cared about “legal immigration" — just inflicting cruelty.

A story I found about Haiti:
In 1999, a group of Haitians were tired of political disorder and dreamed of a better life in the United States. So they built a small, 23-foot boat by hand using pine trees, scrap wood, and used nails. They called the boat "Believe in God."
