Dr. Gladys West, the Black mathematician whose brilliance made GPS possible, has passed at 95. Born on a Dinwiddie County farm during the Great Depression, she overcame segregation to become a scientist and map the world—literally. May we never forget her legacy or the path she paved for generations of mathematicians.

Happy Founders Day to all my @dstinc1913 sorors!

For over a century, from Howard University to chapters across the country, DST has been a beacon of power, purpose, and sisterhood. To mark our 113th anniversary, I'm proud to introduce a resolution with @RepBeatty commemorating our 22 Founders and honoring the Delta women who have championed justice, equity, and opportunity.

Rosa Parks provided the blueprint for modern Black women leaders and social justice activists to follow as we actively seek to challenge and transform an inequitable society and antidemocratic governance practices.

Adelita Grijalva is finally getting sworn into the House today. Her 50-day stint as a congressperson-elect is by far the longest this century.

If/When the Voting Rights Act gets completely gutted in the next few weeks maybe then some folks will finally understand why some of us took last year's election loss so hard. It's not a "ball up top" situation. This is generational.

This group drove 12 hours from Alabama to rally outside of the Supreme Court as it hears a significant case that could undercut the Voting Rights Act

[Christine M. Slaughter, PhD @cmslaughter]

It’s been on ice since 2012, and 2016 accelerated it.

[philip lewis @Phil_Lewis_]

The Supreme Court's conservative justices appeared likely to gut Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act, a decision that would have massive consequences for the future of Black political representation in the South

Yes, and if we care about the outcome of future elections, we should be angered by this.

[David Austin Walsh @DavidAstinWalsh]

Welp, that about pretty much does it, huh.

[Christine M. Slaughter, PhD @cmslaughter]

Wow - a literal soundtrack. The cornerstone of the neosoul genre.

Rest in Peace to the legendary D’Angelo!

Here’s a quick mix of just 17 of his songs! Album cuts, hits, remakes, and features. Which ones are your favorite?

[Tim @trouble_man90]

Joy (Kamala) is not a strategy 😡

Joy (Zohran) is fresh, new and exciting; a perfect counter to the fear and negativity of the right. ☺️
