In the video of Tamir Rice being murdered before the police pull up you see him splashing in a puddle, breaking the icy film on it in that little scrap of park in a Cleveland winter.

And then a few minutes later he's dead.

I think about that moment often. What it felt like, what the light was like on that winter day.

Happy "Most Dangerous Negro" day to all who celebrate!

If you survey US people and ask them if MLK Jr's assassin worked alone, or was part of a conspiracy:

* 66% of white Americans say conspiracy.
* 100% of Black Americans say conspiracy.

100%. Everyone.

Because *some* white Americans know about the group that Bill Sullivan ran, but almost all Black Americans know about it. 🤷🏿‍♂️

It's possible to study "US History" in an American school, get an A in the class, and have never even heard COINTELPRO. Because the term is not even part of the official US history curriculum.🤡

This in a country that claims to care so much about "free speech."

The Mathematical Center of the Venezuelan Institute for Scientific Research was destroyed in the military operation conducted last week. This is unbelievably sad. The IVIC is among the top research centres in the world and has been a major hub for mathematics in Latin America since at least the 1970s.

Solidaridad con los y las colegas de Venezuela y Latino América. Gracias por seguir luchando para desarrollar y transmitir el conocimiento matemático.

Periodic reminder:

If you use less gas for transportation, you help drop the value of a barrel of oil, which makes the people looking to profit off of stealing from Venezuelans, lose money.

Take the bus/train/bike/scooter, buy an EV, don't use gas.
