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.

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...

Also a good read today.

Insight: Courts have ruled 4,400 times that ICE jailed people illegally. It hasn’t stopped. Hundreds of judges around the country have ruled more than 4,400 times since October that President Donald Trump’s administration is detaining immigrants unlawfully, a Reuters review of court records found.

More chatter about tomorrow’s revisions. 👀

Good morning. The President of the United States was in the middle of the most serious child sex trafficking ring of the last quarter century.

He is referenced not a dozen times in the case files. Not 100 times. Not 1,000 times. He’s referenced 38,000 times.

NBC editing out the booing of JD Vance is a disgrace. It’s an international event. Americans have the right to know what the world is saying. NBC has bowed down to Trump.

Mamdani: "I speak of Renee Good, whose final words to the man who murdered her were, 'I'm not mad at you.' I speak of Alex Pretti who died as he lived, caring for the stranger. ICE shot him bc he did something they could never fathom ... let us offer a new path: one of defiance through compassion."

Totally on-brand.

No more public money for racists who want first and second-class citizens.

If you want to FINALLY watch Scott Bessent get pinned down on specifics about the illegal money laundering operation being conducted by the Trump admin from someone who knows WTF he’s talking about, this clip is your chance. Bessent gets destroyed.

That’s bullshit. The Fed has little to no control over long-term rates. They reflect expected inflation. Thank you trump tariffs. Thank you Trump’s tax cuts that are increasing our debt and borrowing and are pushing rates higher.

Damn fuckin' straight!

Smartest man in the game and he's telling you the press are cowards. Telling you someday everyone is gonna find out

Except every single democrat voted yesterday to DEFUND ICE. It was Bernie Sanders’ Amendment. Only TWO republicans voted for it. So ask yourself, is it really the democrats? Or perhaps the corporate media - owned by the regime - wants you to think the democrats voted to fund ICE.

Baloney. ICE was instructed to sink and destroy. Violence was the desired outcome.

Fuck RFK Jr. and the 52 Republican Senators who voted to confirm him as Secretary of Health and Human Services

Concentration camps

Coates connects all the dots, per usual. In Trump's America, it's white supremacy and gender "norms" - or it's death and debasement.

Now do Kristi Noem

This March 1965 Herblock cartoon about police violence against civil rights activists has added relevance today.

@cnbc.com -i hope you'll let us know in a year how many of these investors lose their $ on this dismal play.

Thank you, Jack Smith, for your testimony and your commitment to the rule of law.

Jack Smith: "My fear is that we have seen the rule of law function in our country for so long that many of us have come to take it for granted. The rule of law is not self-executing. It depends on our collective commitment to apply it."

OK, but does "lost its way" include falling into an abyss of terrorizing Americans and political self-dealing?
