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.

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.

read online that someone set-up a premium rate phone number where callers get charged $3.99/ min. then they posted flyers in their neighborhood that said "call this number to report illegal aliens," but the number just puts them on hold with music. so far, they've made $17,000

MSNBC President Rebecca Kutler folded like a cheap fucking lawn chair to the far-right media mob. In media history, we've never seen so many executives become so feckless in the face of a fascist authoritarian Trump regime. Kutler's actions in firing Matthew Dowd were shameful.

People missing an important point about folks getting fired for whatever they said about Charlie Kirk: Americans are being conditioned to be snitches on their fellow citizens who don’t toe a party line on what is “allowed” to be expressed. And employers are going along. It’s the new secret police

Although MAGA figureheads were quick to point fingers at the left for Kirk’s death, Tyler’s grandmother, Debbie Robinson, sets the record straight.
There need to be some apologies issued today. Can we start with the Utah State Republican Party?

I don’t believe in killing people for their beliefs.
I am not celebrating Charlie Kirk’s death.
I abhor the political hatred and divisiveness in this country.
I find the idolization of Charlie Kirk disgusting.
This act will be weaponized against those truly fighting tyranny.
