I got my passport at the local branch of my library. The staff member was knowledgeable, answered my questions about the application. Photo taken on site. It was convenient because I was able to complete the process after my work hours, and the library is minutes from my home. Why take that away?

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.

The Dark Truth About Pam Bondi Arrogance, insults, indifference, and nonfeasance

She didn’t turn around. She didn’t look at them.

They were right there.

She could have arranged to get their contact information.

She could have shown a scrap of sympathy.

But Pam Bondi wouldn’t even look them in the eye.

And that was a defining moment.

He had to self-censor out all the racist words. Would be hilarious if not so evil.

“It’s just common sense. Americans need an ID to drive, to open a bank account, to buy cold medicine, to file government assistance,” Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., told reporters. “So why would voting be any different than that?”

Gee Mike-because voting isn't a purchase or privilege, it's OUR RIGHT!

Bondi's words and performance today are far beneath the dignity of the office she holds. An utter disgrace! And a monumental embarrassment.

But Liam was scared and frequently asked what they had done wrong, where they were and what happened to the little blue knit hat he wore the day he was detained, Conejo said. There wasn’t much he could say to his son, “except hug him and tell him everything would be OK,” Conejo said. Worried about further upsetting his son, Conejo said, he was forced to bite back his own tears.

Liam has since been reunited with his hat and continues to wear it, even inside the house, his dad said Thursday. Asked how he might one day explain to Liam everything that has happened, Conejo said he would tell his son that he had become the face of hope and change. "He was the global figure who did all this so that the voices of the people demanding freedom would be heard, especially those of the children who are still locked up," Conejo said. “I would tell him he was very brave and that I am very proud of him.”

welp, this destroyed me first thing upon waking up

A good thing happened today: Haitians in Springfield, Ohio and elsewhere are (for now) safe from the planned ethnic cleansing operation. This happened because people came together — organizers, reporters, and those who care — and made it happen. Let’s take the win and continue the work.

The inhumanity of this administration can still astonish me. I'm just not sure why it does anymore. Sigh.
