Photo of Ertha Pascal-Trouillot in front of Haiti's flag. She is a Black woman with black hair.
#OnThisDay, 13 Mar 1990, Ertha Pascal-Trouillot became the provisional president of Haiti.
“I accepted the position in the name of Haitian women. I did it as a service to my country. I did it with love and determination.”

goma @soigomaa In the 1800s, a woman engineered a heating system for freezing train cars. She wasn't allowed to patent it under her own name because the law said women couldn't hold patents. Her husband signed for her. Decades later, Ford stole her idea and it became a transport standard. Today every car, truck, train, and airplane on Earth uses her technology. In 2020, she was named one of the top ten women patent holders in history. 108 years after she died. Her name was Margaret A. Wilcox. And almost no one has ever heard of her..... (I share hidden stories of women)
I've been seeing a lot of stories like this lately.
We've come a long way, but we're not there yet.

"Given that this government has assassinated our leader, we cannot participate in the World Cup. Our players do not have security," the Iranian sports minister says.
Constitutional amendment to launch billionaires into the sun.
This is our country. Donald Trump doesn't own America. He doesn't own the White House. Everything he does relies on our money.
We depend on Congress to represent our interests. They are failing us by allowing him to exploit our money for his personal interests. He & his party of sycophants must go.
Look at this photo carefully.
Mikaeil Mirdoraghi. Third grade.
Waving goodbye to his mother before school.
She, and he, thought he'd be coming home.
That school is now rubble.
Mikaeil is gone.
Absolutely heartbreaking.
His name should be remembered.
F*ck the demons who killed him.
NEW: US Attorney nominee Phil Williams has a long & disturbing history of attacking trans people and their parents.
He said parents of trans children should be drowned. He also compared efforts to support gender-affirming care to slavery & the Holocaust. nominationnotes.substack.com/p/us-attorne...
This is how our government has been corrupted:
1) Donors give huge sums to elect politicians
2) Elected officials rewrite rules in donors' favor
3) Donors make huge profit
4) Repeat
We must get big money out of politics. It’s the root of all evil in Washington.
Just a reminder that Muslims have been on this continent since the first arrival of non-Indigenous people. They were among the first generation of Americans, and have been here ever since.
"Jews don't belong in American society."
Imagine a sitting member of Congress tweeting that. You can't. Thankfully, it'd never happen. And *if* it did, it'd be the end of their career and the biggest story in America.
But Ogles can say this about Muslims without any censure.

Trump's DOJ just gave a slap-on-the-wrist settlement to LiveNation/Ticketmaster.
The deal doesn't break up the ticket monopoly, and comes after its lobbyists boasted about getting the DOJ's antitrust chief fired last month.
Trump's promise to fix a rigged economic system was always baloney.
Make America White Again. That's what it's always been about.
AOC: The Pentagon has not passed an audit, and they are out here trying to kick people with disabilities off of Medicaid. It is corruption that is stealing from the public coffers — and that is the actual waste, fraud, and abuse.
Seriously, we’re tired of paying for their stupidity. Is there an empty island somewhere for all of them. They can spew all the hate and be cruel,greedy 12 yr old children. No wonder they’re all pedophiles. Wtf! Let us sane people live in peace.
Like clock work. Whenever Republicans run the government, they trash the economy for working people. Prices go up. 10 of the last 11 recessions were under Republican Presidents.
Good for the mega corporations and billionaires, bad for everyone else.
This is going to lead to a lot of people only driving to work and to the grocery store.
Trump on January 22, 2020 when the CDC confirmed the first US covid case: “We have it totally under control. It's one person coming in from China, and we have it under control. It's going to be just fine.”
As I have said since Feb 2025, Trump is in office to solve Putin's problems. How else are you going to ensure that Putin's failed state becomes prosperous? it is already having to be propped up by China.

Drone strikes on Amazon Web Services facilities this week in the United Arab Emirates and Bahrain highlight the vulnerability of cloud facilities — prominent symbols of US tech power in the region and hard to defend against air attack. Fars News Agency, an outlet affiliated with the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, said on Thursday that Iran targeted Amazon and Microsoft facilities in recent drone strikes. Experts say Amazon’s facilities were likely targeted by Iran. Microsoft said it had not experienced any outages in the region. The strikes mark what is believed to be the world’s first military attack against the US “hyper…

A cartoon from the 1950’s that’s more relevant than ever 💔
The secretary of Miami-Dade County’s GOP started a group chat for conservative students — and within 3 weeks, it was filled with over 400 instances of the N-word, Nazi rhetoric and writings of "dozens of ways of violently killing Black people"
BREAKING: Senate Republicans just blocked our bipartisan War Powers Resolution to rein in Trump's illegal war of choice against Iran.
They chose fealty to Trump over our troops' lives.
Dani Bensky was a 17 year old ballerina when she met Jeffrey Epstein. His horrific abuse scarred her for life. And yet, she continues to publicly share her experience so that the “secrets are brought out of the shadows.”
Please listen & share this incredible conversation.

For years on my old blog I published the names of servicemembers who died in Iraq & Afghanistan. No other outlets were.
These are the first 4 Americans to die in the Iran War.
Capt. Cody A. Khork, 35
Sgt. 1st Class Noah L. Tietjens, 42
Sgt. 1st Class Nicole M. Amor, 39
Sgt. Declan J. Coady, 20
The United States gave Netanyahu over $24 billion in taxpayer dollars to fund his horrific war in Gaza.
That wasn't enough. Netanyahu wanted war with Iran. Trump gave him one.
The American people — not Netanyahu’s right-wing government — should determine U.S. foreign policy.
His handlers never tell him the truth
Bernie's new billionaire wealth tax would raise $4.4T from the super-rich over the next decade.
That's more than enough to reverse Trump's Medicaid cuts, raise teacher pay, make childcare affordable, and build millions of affordable homes.
And guess what? The super-rich will still be super rich.
I'm sorry, if you're going to make a big show about how you've got a Department of WAR helmed by a Secretary of WAR and staffed by WARfighters, it's totally inane to then claim that your massive bombing of a foreign country constitutes something other than a war.
