Really just too old for this shit. Old and grouchy. Liberal because it's not all about me. Gay woman. BLM. Trans men are men. Trans women are women. Trying to listen and learn.

As always, @lizdye.bsky.social has another must-read at Public Notice. This one connects all the dots to a potential Ghislaine Maxwell pardon. Go! Read it now!

CBS News investigation of Jeffrey Epstein jail video reveals new discrepancies A CBS News investigation found discrepancies between the government's description of the Jeffrey Epstein jail video and what the video shows.

Late in the day but this is really phenomenal work by CBS. I didn't think the story could surprise me anymore, but I exclaimed out loud several times reading this.

The WaPa headline says: 60,000 Gazans were killed. 18,500 of them were children. These are some of their names. 

Then follows an enormous list of small print names

Now That They’re Free, Venezuelan Men Want the World to Know What They Endured in CECOT Venezuelan men deported by the Trump administration say they endured months of physical and mental abuse inside a Salvadoran prison. Though happy to be home, they say the fact that they were released ...

The terror began immediately. Salvadoran guards beat them with their fists, boots and batons, shot them with rubber pellets, and forced them to lick other men's backs.

What happened when we sent 230+ Venezuelans to a prison known for human rights abuses.

Post image Grace Hopper once dismantled a Navy computer with a screwdriver β€” just to prove it wasn’t β€œtoo complicated” for a woman to understand.
 Then she rewired the entire future of computing.
She was 37 when she joined the U.S. Navy during World War II. Too old, too thin, and far too bold β€” they said no at first. She kept showing up. Eventually, they handed her a uniform and a problem: the Mark I computer. It filled an entire room, made strange clanking noises, and no one fully understood how it worked.
Hopper didn’t just understand it β€” she taught it to speak English.
At a time when programming meant punching holes in cards and speaking only in machine code, Grace Hopper believed computers should serve humans, not the other way around. She invented the first compiler β€” a translator that let people write instructions in plain English. That idea became COBOL, the first widely adopted programming language for business. It still powers banks and systems today.

She coined the term β€œdebugging” after pulling a literal moth out of a malfunctioning machine. But it wasn’t a joke β€” it was a metaphor for her career. Find the glitch. Fix it. Move forward.
Grace Hopper stayed in the Navy until she was 79. She gave her final interview in uniform, sharp as ever, holding up a tiny piece of wire that represented a nanosecond. β€œThis is how far light travels in one-billionth of a second,” she said. β€œNow you have no excuse to be slow.”
She was rebellious, relentless, and wildly ahead of her time. They called her β€œAmazing Grace.” She preferred Admiral.
Ever use a computer? You’re standing on her code.

In an era that has returned to tearing down strong, visionary women, I'm going to start posting about women who changed history.

I'll start with Grace Hopper, because I'm "standing on her code".

You know why emergency rooms don’t turn away people who are dying??

The Emergency Medical Treatment and Labor Act (EMTALA). This is under threat due to cuts in Medicare and Medicaid.

Also hospitals will close in rural areas.

People will die!! We fought so hard to have it. We must stop this!!

Trump can’t legally deploy the military on US soil.

His budget bill gives $30B to ICE to hire 10,000 more masked, armed agents to be deployed in our communities.

He’s building a domestic military accountable only to him.

This isn’t about immigration.
It’s authoritarianism.

For months, I've called out how the Trump regime is disappearing immigrants to offshore prisons like CECOT. I've demanded an end to their inhumane and wasteful action.

But the evidence keeps piling up: thousands of our neighbors are being sent to CECOT w/o any documentation or due process. (1/2)
