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...

She made key contributions to US cold-war science despite facing huge barriers as a Black woman.

Marimar Martinez was the first US citizen shot by ICE.
They claimed she was a terrorist. Said she was brandishing a weapon.
They lied. Video footage exonerated her and showed the ICE agent shot her five times.
He bragged to other agents “five shots, 7 holes”.

I was a sensitive kid. I loved cats. I had OCD, undiagnosed.
When I was 9, a fraternity brother tortured a cat to death in my hometown. The details even now are beyond imagination. archive.is/xdmUL
I was traumatized for years from reading the news story.
The torturer? Now the head of the NRA.

ICE detain father shopping on Christmas Eve—then steal his family's groceries.
Then 3 agents divvy up his paid for food—taking what they want for themselves.
"Can I just get the wife's number to call and let her know?" woman asks.
"No, guess he should've complied," agent says.

You said you were going after dangerous criminals ?
Now you are taking hard working people off the streets, separating parents from kids, taking people from immigration court who are following the rules, & putting the military on our streets…this isn’t America.
DON’T TELL US EVERYTHING IS FINE

Come for the Pirates replacing Roberto Clemente's name and number with a third-rate liquor ad, stay for the Dodgers visiting the president who thinks Jackie Robinson is "DEI."

Sometimes it's nice to be reminded that it's the simple things in life that matter. I need make an effort to slow down and appreciate a beautiful sunset from the deck of my yacht, or the cozy feeling of a new pair of socks everyday.
