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...

Very cool! Mutual aid is so wonderful

ICE Begins Buying ‘Mega’ Warehouse Detention Centers Across US Plans for such centers and jails in nearly two dozen communities have sparked protests over suitability, proximity to homes and schools.

Yay! Well-done to all the Canadians who put on the pressure--elbows up! "Canadian billionaire Jim Pattison’s company said Friday that a transaction to sell its 550,000-square-foot warehouse in Ashland, Virginia, [to ICE] “will not be proceeding.” www.bloomberg.com/news/feature...

Judge orders release of 5-year-old detained by ICE in Minnesota The judge accused the Trump administration of inhumanity in its approach to deportations.

“Observing human behavior confirms that for some among us, the perfidious LUST FOR UNBRIDLED POWER and the IMPOSITION OF CRUELTY IN ITS QUEST know no bounds and ARE BEREFT OF HUMAN DECENCY”

~ The Federal Judge

Yes, according to Woodward, it was Melania who first refused to the "apology" response to the "grab 'em by the pussy" tape release. She sided with Bannon against the Republican campaign manager to instead hold a MAGA rally

It's always a great day when I get to cheer on a disabled woman as she makes someone confess he is speaking out both sides of his mouth. Equivocation is the lifeblood of fascism youtu.be/eM2mesg207Y?...

Come to Newfoundland, folks! It's so beautiful here! Icebergs, whales, puffins, charming houses that are every colour of the rainbow

Alberta chief justices defend judicial independence after Danielle Smith’s remarks They spoke out after Premier Danielle Smith said she wished she could ‘direct’ judges

Smith: "I wish I could direct the judges”

"She added that she recently wrote to Mark Carney proposing more provincial involvement in judicial appointments “so that we start choosing judges in Alberta that reflect the values of how we want them to operate here.”"

Ponder that for a moment. 🎁

Polling Canada results for Alberta (28%) and Quebec (32%) support for independence.

And yet this will consume time, energy, money and attention for months to come.

What a waste of resources.

Ian Austin, an Army veteran, was arrested for protesting ICE in Minneapolis. But he’s continued protesting. Senior reporter @julialurie.bsky.social spoke to him.

“When they say, ‘Why would you be out here?’ How the fuck could I not be out here?” he says. “My nation is under attack."

If ICE agents were "better trained" two men would have held Pretti down while the remainder "confiscated" cell phones from anyone in the vicinity. Anyone who thinks training is the answer hasn't been paying attention to what Miller and Project 2025 are trying to achieve

Yes! And those who can afford to do it continue to make things cheaper for those who can't. It's a win-win. Though I must say, Rakuten Kobo charging me 7 bucks more on a book by one of my favourite authors than the list price I discovered two levels deeper sure hits my patriotism hard :(

Unfortunately I think Miller is the Mastermind and Trump has always just been the Hook in this whole con operation of Trumpism. Miller has been there since the beginning and stayed. Not to say it isn't worth trying to push him out just to see how they respond

"Rogue DHS agents"? You mean like Kristi Noem?

But who is this guy really? Seems like they're pushing out someone they don't care about to take the fall

In case anyone is wondering why Minnesota, take a look at what can happen when 1/5 of a nation isn't able to vote due to "security concerns" -- She was in her car, so they shot her. They found a gun in his pants, so they shot him. This isn't responsiveness but a deliberate gradual escalation

Finally, a white person around 20 years old with a high pony tail gazes with dull eyes through the screen while bobbing their head to edm. Their image is flashed restlessly with more images of cats and hearts.

Next a video of a root vegetable being peeled is flashed with video of arms-bearing ice agents approaching a parked vehicle. More butterfly stickers appear.
