https://www.washingtonpost.com/gender-identity/a-shame-filled-prison-inside-the-maternity-homes-that-forced-teen-moms-to-give-away-their-babies/ this is what awaits women if trump gets into office- we will return to this & worse. Our rights so recently won- in my mother’s time and so many take it for granted that it’s always been this way when in reality 👆 nightmare is but one of many that women escaped as they attempted to clear the path to being whole citizens and not chattel forced to breed

https://babyscoopera.com/new-press-release-dan-rather-reports-adopted-or-abducted/ people sometimes erroneously believe this fight is only about abortion or birth control- but it’s really about personal sovereignty over one’s body -the ability to choose one’s path in life- actual basic freedom of the body and bodily autonomy. This was my mother and grandmother’s fight - behold the original domestic supply of white infants b/c there is no small amount of racism in this mess

Robert ReichYour Flag Day reminder that Justice Samuel Alito flew not one, but two pro-insurrection flags at his homes.
Alito failing to recuse himself from Trump's immunity case and other Jan 6 cases tells you everything you need to know about the SCOTUS code of "ethics."
It's a sham.
ProPublicaAt a Congressional hearing yesterday, #Microsoft President Brad Smith was asked about this ProPublica report that was published earlier in the day.
He said he hadn't read it.
We had sent detailed questions to Microsoft nearly 2 weeks earlier & requested an interview with Smith. The company declined to make him available.

lj·rkMy #CompSci lecturers often dropped the names of inventors. But only if they were men. We talked about Gordon Moore, obviously Turing 🏳️🌈 was mentioned, about Don Knuth, about Chomsky etc.
But when we discussed the #ARM architecture, we never talked about the inventor *Sophie Wilson*. We also never talked about *Mary Ann Horton*, despite her work on `vi` and `terminfo` -- but of course we mentioned Bill Joy. We discussed the Spanning Tree Protocol, but not its inventor *Radia Perlman*. We have the whole field of #SoftwareEngineering, but who coined the term? *Margaret Hamilton*. We mentioned the ENIAC and v. Neumann, but failed to talk about *Adele Goldstine*. We discussed the origins of #OOP and #Smalltalk but ignored *Adele Goldberg*. We programmed in #Assembly but never talked about the woman who wrote the first #Assembler, *Kathleen Booth*. And don't get me started on #Safari and our sweet @lisamelton <3 Or any of the (incomplete list) of *Ida Rhodes, Carol Shaw, Shafi Goldwasser, Edith Clarke, Annie Easley, Joyce Little*, ...
And today? Let's talk about our favorite trans woman CPU designer, Lynn Conway.

Trump’s conviction on 34 felony counts has sparked unfounded claims of political persecution. How is this narrative just a replay of his 2020 election fraud playbook, and what does it mean for the 2024 election? https://thinkbigpicture.substack.com/p/trump-biden-weaponization-justice-lawfare
