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...

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.

All the love and respect to Mr. Riddick! You are amazing.
I cried, so now y’all can too. Mr. Riddick graduated at 80 years old! It’s never too late, and this is important as I constantly doubt myself. 💙💙💙 congratulations to you sir!!!

And generally approved of by other people who don't understand how the global economy works.
I just really need everybody to understand that everything that’s happening in and to the global economy now (and all the businesses and people in it) is the entirely predictable result of the intentional decisions of one guy who doesn’t understand how the global economy works.

So glad that Seth put this context to this. I signed a petition asking Biden to send a SEAL team to liberate those kids last year.
My fellow US historian, Ben Marsh, has a long-running Partridge family sort of situation where he and his family make hilarious songs parodying US politics. Their latest is a Bob Marley cover about tariffs. It even has a Smoot-Hawley shout out! youtu.be/_DyNjjSxO8s?...

We need more effort to get stories like these out in public. Especially now!

In 1943 the US government made an antifascist film called "Don't Be a Sucker" in which we see a college professor in Germany removed from his classroom by government officials who do not approve of what he's teaching about race. youtu.be/vGAqYNFQdZ4?...

JUST IN: Another medical horror story in an affidavit from a USAID employee stationed overseas. Says his pregnant wife was not medevac-ed for emergency health care because of directives from DC. Took intervention of a U.S. senator to reverse — but was too late. s3.documentcloud.org/documents/25...

I left MO 18 years ago and could never imagine returning. It's a disgrace of a state.
Red state life. Over 20 years of Republican majority rule in Missouri means that three days after one snowstorm major roads are still not plowed and safe. MODOT says they are short 200 plow drivers. MO has lowest state employee pay in the country. These clowns can’t handle basic governance. #moleg

Want to get this clip out. Dolores wants people to know about the man who mentored her and Cesar Chavez.
Fred Ross Sr.
"He came from a Republican family, but that was his first experience of working with poor people and with farm workers, and it changed his life."
