The first Black woman in space carried more than experiments aboard the shuttle.
Mae Jemison’s journey from Chicago science museums to Space Shuttle Endeavour showed generations of girls what was possible.
History remembers the woman who reached for the stars.

Great, now I am crying
The terrain really has shifted. But it makes these institutions' earlier capitulation even crazier in hindsight. It's one thing to sell yourself. It's another to sell yourself for nothing.
Oh man, you're already good at this new career, you'll go places!
Jayme Lawson from Sinners hit the nail on the head and said how I felt with the whole BAFTAs situation.
We are At War now, according to President Bush, and I take him at his word. He also says this War might last for "a very long time." Generals and military scholars will tell you that eight or 10 years is actually not such a long time in the span of human history - which is no doubt true - but history also tells us that 10 years of martial law and a wartime economy are going to feel like a Lifetime to people who are in their twenties today. The poor bastards of what will forever be known as Generation Z are doomed to be the first generation of Americans who will grow up with a lower standard of living than their parents enjoyed. That is extremely heavy news, and it will take a while for it to sink in. The 22 babies born in New York City while the World Trade Center burned will never know what they missed. The last half of the 20th century will seem like a wild party for rich kids, compared to what's coming now. The party's over, folks.
From Hunter S. Thompson’s ESPN page 2 column one week after 9/11.
"How can you oppose war when Khamenei was evil?"
Simple. If you killed Donald Trump by nuking Washington DC, I would not mourn Trump but I'd still say you're an evil war criminal who belongs in the Hague. It's really not hard.
It's an absolute travesty that you consent to losing all rights to what happens to a part of your body once it is removed. If someone figures out a way to make money on a biopsy you have to take for health assessment, it is theirs, not yours. Wild bullshit.
I learned about HeLa cells from The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks when I did research. People in labs adjacent to mine used her cell line. It was surreal. I followed the case of a man who tried to sue for money for his tumor cells. He lost. Courts said his tumor wasn't his after it was removed.
Her tissue stolen from her without informing her, much less getting her consent, and she nor her family will ever see a dime from the profits built off her tumor cells. There are pharm/research suppliers who make BANK off those cells BEFORE you consider what they have been used for.
Henrietta Lacks is the reason we dont get polio anymore.
Henrietta Lacks is the reason in-vitro works
Henrietta Lacks is the reason there's an HPV vaccine, gene mapping, we know how cancer cells divide, AIDs is no longer a death sentence.
Henrietta Lacks cells were stolen from her
Our baby has been alive for two deadly, illegal campaigns by the U.S. to remove a foreign leader. She’s 7 weeks old.
Not naming names,,, but I googled ya worth
So impressed and blessed for all the brands reaching out to support. thousand and more companies offered to donate product and my team gunna get to it. 🙏🏾🙏🏾
BUT if you a billion dollar company,,, we don’t want a product donation. We want you to sponsor these women + athletes. 👀
Max Boot is like “idk, the justification for this war looks pretty flimsy.” This is the most unsold war in the history of wars. That is like Cat Fancy calling a cat less than mid.
Someone dig up Sherman and tell him Confederates took over the White House and Mar-a-lago.
Well, it was either world war three or letting black people have jobs, so I see why people just went with the world war
I don't want to hear shit about Democrats today when the Orange Demon did EXACTLY what then Senator Harris told y'all in 2019 he would do-attacked Iran.
Just like Secretary Clinton, VP Harris was right about this fool, but a lot y'all pretend to act "surprised," and let Republicans off the hook😒
things every single republican president of your lifetime has done
- started a war in the middle east
- completely destroyed the economy
Well, congratulations to Holden Bloodfeast only, I guess.
For the Old Heads
Radiohead is demanding that the Trump administration take down a pro-ICE promotional video featuring a version of its song “Let Down” without permission.
Full statement from the band:

No but this is entirely correct
When faced with a shockingly exploitative new employment contract that would’ve forced them to sign away their IP, their likeness rights, and their power of attorney, Jupiter Jetson and her coworkers at Sheri’s fought back—fast.
They organized a union in SIX DAYS. www.thenation.com/article/econ...
it's not the issue of this story, but it is a transparent example of how the "cars are freedom" narrative is a complete farce. when the state controls your movement and can immobilize you on a whim, you are not free. car dependency is an arm of fascism for the car *IS* fascism and must be abolished.
The reason you can’t give a single inch on anything be it trans rights or dignity for unhoused people is that they, democrats and republicans alike, will take it and say thanks what else is in your pockets? They won’t say thanks actually.
