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...

Jeffrey Epstein’s Money Mingled With Silicon Valley Start-Ups

At the end of his life, Epstein had assets of around $600m. A large part of that was due to his ability to get in early to hot tech deals. The returns he made off those deals helped fund his lifestyle.

Unmarked car, no lights or police insignia. Masked armed men leap out. Victim not in the act of committing any crime. This is not how a serious federal law enforcement agency acts in a free society.

How is this not supposed to be a “right wing paramilitary force loyal to the regime”?

Alex Pretti was a 37 year old ICU Nurse. Alex was just murdered for filming ICE and protecting his neighbors.

And because he had a legal firearm securely tucked away while shielding them from pepper spray, 2A supporters will say he deserved to die.

He did not.

Abolish. ICE.

A mother in our neighborhood was taken on Sunday. Her oldest is 15. The family couldn’t find her in the system until last night. She’s being held in a camp in Texas.

She had status that was arbitrarily taken away. Doing things “the right way.”

This 15yo is still going to school all week.

“Dishonest and Very Uncool”

@jessicatarlov.bsky.social fact-checks Trump on his unemployment lies 🤥 his “$18 Trillion in investment” whopper 🤥 his drug prices math fail 🤥 and his “warrior dividend” scam 🤥

So I’ve made it official folks: I’ve filed the paperwork to run for Governor of Alabama. It’s time to remind this state of who we are and what we can accomplish together.

Reporter Julie Brown who has been covering the Epstein story for years responds to @stephenasmith’s performative outrage about why Dems (and some Republicans) have made releasing the files an issue

This speech never gets old.

Devastating— “I’m afraid for my parents to leave the house. They treat us like dogs because of the color of our skin. I shouldn’t be scared, I should be focusing on school.”

A 16yo American living in fear of the Trump regime’s ICE goons terrorizing brown people pleads for help.

Exclusive | Treasury Tells Employees Not to Share Photos of White House Ballroom Construction Images of the demolition of parts of the East Wing went viral on Monday, and Treasury’s headquarters next door to the White House has a front-row seat.

You can just share my video from me instead of sharing a screen recording of my video from a content farm account that isn’t on the scene btw.

A tweet from Steven Cheung white house deputy press secretary. He is retweeting rapid response 47 which shows a video of Trump flying a jet and dumping pop on no kings protestors. The text says " 😂 shitting all over these No Kings losers!"

Dear @nytimes.com

The white house deputy press secretary just confirmed on X that this brown substance represents shit. Please update your headlines accordingly.

Epstein Survivor Lisa Phillips: Everyone makes it about Trump and Epstein, but it’s about this whole ring of men. That’s what makes me upset, because we know they were there. We saw them. We know there were royalty, princes, very powerful people in academia and tech, and we saw them at parties.

For the second time this year, protesters gathered for “No Kings” rallies against the Trump administration. See more from the mass protests: www.nytimes.com/2025/10/18/u...

Fairhope, representing Alabama and doing us all proud! And ma'am, if you need a lawyer, I can probably find a few.

Rally sign reads “I am Aunt Tifa. Heard you were looking for me!”

#NoKings Cincinnati

WATCH - SIGNS SUPERCUT: Trump claims the signs and protests are funded by rich donors. Trump is lying. 👇🏽

Happy #NoKingsDay to all patriots who celebrate. 🇺🇸

Happening now: Here’s a view of the “No Kings” protest in Washington, DC

Not being even vaguely sarcastic:

At some point, a journalist needs to ask Johnson “you regularly claim you have no idea what your own government is doing. If we take you at your word, how are you so poorly informed, and do you this level of ignorance should disqualify you as speaker?”

Swearing in isn’t some ceremony. You aren’t a member of Congress until it happens. He knows that.

No phones, no staff, nothing.

I had to escort her into the Capitol on Wed bc Capitol police must treat her as a public visitor until she’s sworn in. And solo visitors aren’t allowed during shutdown!

This is a very good paragraph.

“YOU hit HER.”
