This is trauma.

High-contrast black-and-white close-up portrait of Dorothy Vaughan, smiling and wearing glasses and a pearl necklace. Bold gold and white text beside her reads, “She learned it first and taught the rest.” Her name, Dorothy Vaughan, appears at the bottom in large gold lettering.

She saw the future before it arrived.

Dorothy Vaughan taught herself programming and became NASA’s first Black supervisor, leading the West Area Computing group into a new era.

Mathematician. Leader. She made sure she had a place in it.

Connecticut Just Told Masked ICE Agents to Show Their Faces SB00397 bars masks on every officer in the state, forces feds to show badges, and opens state courts to sue them. A first in the country.

No law enforcement officer operating in Connecticut—federal, state, or local—can wear a mask on duty. ICE and CBP agents have to show their faces and badges. And when an officer assaults someone recording them, commits false imprisonment, false arrest, or malicious prosecution, they lose immunity.

Milwaukee prohibits masks for law enforcement - Civic Media An ordinance that prohibits local or federal law enforcement officers from wearing face masks, except in dangerously cold weather, passed the Milwaukee Common Council Tuesday.

#Milwaukee Common Council finally pulled the veil back. They just banned law enforcement from hiding behind masks unless it’s actually freezing. Public trust is earned, not demanded—and you can't build it from behind a tactical mask. Sorry, but accountability needs a face. 💅🔥 #Wisconsin

You know, it’s been an interesting day when a U.S. House committee sends FBI Director Kash Patel a formal inquiry asking if he’s ever blacked out from drinking, forgotten the night before, or needed morning drinks to recover.

Oversight members split over whether to pardon Ghislaine Maxwell, committee chair says The only convicted associate of Jeffrey Epstein has said she would testify to Congress if granted clemency — a power held solely by the president.

Comer claims that the Oversight Committee is torn on getting her a pardon so she testifies to the committee.

She's a rapist and a liar!

Garcia and the Democrats aren't torn.

If she gets a pardon, the Republicans are pedophile protectors!

ENOUGH!

There are plenty of others to testify.

This black-and-white portrait captures Maggie Kuhn (1905–1995), the indomitable founder of the Gray Panthers, an activist group that revolutionized the fight against ageism. Seated in a relaxed yet attentive pose, Kuhn is seen in her later years, radiating a sense of sharp-witted wisdom and gentle defiance. She is dressed in a dark, structured, button-down jacket with a small round collar, featuring a prominent circular political button pinned to her left chest—a hallmark of her lifelong commitment to grassroots organizing. Her silver hair is elegantly swept back, and she wears thin-framed glasses that highlight her keen, observant eyes and a slight, knowing smile. Her hands, weathered by time and adorned with simple rings, rest naturally in her lap, one draped over the arm of what appears to be a patterned chair. The background is softly out of focus, showing a glimpse of indoor foliage and a textured wall, suggesting a television studio or public forum setting where she frequently challenged societal norms. The composition is a medium shot that focuses on her presence as a formidable public figure. The mood is one of dignified strength and intellectual vitality, serving as a powerful visual testament to her legacy as a champion for intergenerational justice and the rights of the elderly.

Active until her death #OTD in 1995 at 89.
