Our government’s priorities are entirely backward. And purposefully so.
Screenshot of a tweet by James Tate reading, “An educated populace is a threat to power.” The tweet includes a quoted graphic stating that ICE is offering a $45,000 signing bonus and $100,000 starting salary, compared to a teacher earning $55,000 in their eighth year with a master’s degree, arguing that education has been intentionally defunded.

As we prepare for another year of MAHA eugenics, we are reposting a thread about the history of disability and eugenics in public health.

We have been here before.

Before we talk more about disability, we need to address the history of eugenics, ableism and racism that haunts US public health work.

Filming them committing terrorism is now itself an act of terrorism?
Screenshot of a news article with the headline, “Justice Department Says Filming Immigration Raids Is ‘Domestic Terrorism.’” The byline reads Autumn Billings with a date and time. Below the headline is a black-and-white photo of a heavily armed federal agent pointing toward the camera, with other officers blurred in the background.

Actress & writer Carrie Fisher died #OTD in 2016.

She is best known for her iconic role as Princess Leia in the #StarWars franchise. She also earned acclaim for her writing & was a prominent mental health advocate who used her fame, humor & writing to help destigmatize bipolar disorder & addiction.
A side-by-side portrait of actress Carrie Fisher. On the left, a color photograph shows her in later years with shoulder-length blonde hair streaked with gray, parted on the side, wearing small earrings, a delicate necklace, and a black top. She has a calm, slight smile and is looking directly at the camera against a neutral gray background. On the right, a black-and-white inset image depicts her in her iconic role as Princess Leia from Star Wars, with dark hair styled in two large side buns, wearing a high-collared white gown, hands gently touching her neck, and gazing forward with a serious expression against a textured gray backdrop.

There has been a startling & disturbing increase in violent threats against judges who rule against Felon Trump.

#Documentary: 𝘛𝘰𝘱 𝘚𝘦𝘤𝘳𝘦𝘵 𝘙𝘰𝘴𝘪𝘦𝘴: 𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘍𝘦𝘮𝘢𝘭𝘦 "𝘊𝘰𝘮𝘱𝘶𝘵𝘦𝘳𝘴" 𝘰𝘧 𝘞𝘞𝘐𝘐 (2010) recognizes the contributions of American women serving as human computers during #WWII, 6 of them went on to program one of the earliest computers, the ENIAC. 1 of those 6 is Jean Jennings Bartik, born #OTD in 1924. #WomenInSTEM
A collage image related to "Top Secret Rosies: The Female 'Computers' of WWII," a documentary highlighting the contributions of women mathematicians and programmers during World War II. The background features a yellowish movie poster with bold red text reading "TOP SECRET Rosies" stamped diagonally, overlaid with faint classified document markings. Centered on the poster are black-and-white group photographs of young women from the 1940s, the ENIAC programmers, seated and standing together in formal attire, smiling at the camera. To the right are two portraits of one of these women, Jean Bartik (Betty Jean Jennings): the upper one shows her as a young woman in the 1940s with curly dark hair, wearing a light blouse and beaded necklace; the lower one depicts her in later life with white hair, glasses, and a white top, looking seriously at the camera. The overall composition honors the pioneering role of these women in early computing history.

⚡Russia preparing to proclaim future Ukrainian elections rigged, Zelensky says, citing intelligence.

As Ukraine is beginning to prepare for a belated presidential election, Russia is already preparing to proclaim it rigged, according to President Volodymyr Zelensky.
Russia preparing to proclaim future Ukrainian elections rigged, Zelensky says, citing intelligence
Elections have been floated as part of a peace or ceasefire deal that Ukraine has been discussing with the U.S., but voting in the occupied territories complicates the process.
