She was called Phillis because that was the name of the ship that brought her, and Wheatley, which was the name of the merchant who bought her. She was born in Senegal 🇸🇳 In Boston, the slave traders put her up for sale: “She's 7 years old! She will be a good mare!” She was felt, naked, by many hands. At thirteen, she was already writing poems in a language that was not her own. No one believed that she was the author. At the age of twenty, Phillis was questioned by a court of eighteen enlightened men in robes and wigs. She had to recite passages from Virgil and Milton and some verses from the Bible, and she also had to vow that the poems she had composed were not copied. From a chair, she underwent her lengthy examination until the court approved her: she was a woman, she was Black, she was enslaved, but she was a poet. Phillis Wheatley was the first African-American writer to publish a book in the United States.

In a little more than a year, Lee Zeldin has transformed the E.P.A. from an agency devoted to protecting human health and the environment into one that, more or less openly, sides with polluters, Elizabeth Kolbert reports. newyorkermag.visitlink.me/LtoxjN

New: The $25 billion estimate that a top Pentagon official gave to lawmakers on Wednesday for the total cost to date of the Iran war is a lowball figure that does not include the cost of repairing extensive damage suffered by US bases in the region, sources tell @NatashaBertrand & me. cnn.com/2026/04/29/pol…

Spiraling US oil prices were the inevitable effect of Trump being so proud 2 weeks ago about the stream of tankers crossing the Atlantic to fill up in the US. US oil is directly filling global supply gaps. Wonder how long before Trump misguidedly tries to ban oil exports.
Javier Blas@JavierBlas

The world is calling on the barrel of last resort — and it’s brutal for the US. American total petroleum exports (crude and refined products) surged last week to an all-time high >14m b/d. The price? US total inventories plunged at ~3.5 million b/d last week. Unsustainable.

You say you’re “done” with me, @epaleezeldin, but I’m not done with you. Your job is to serve the American people. You chose to serve Monsanto instead. Yesterday you got caught red-handed. Your actions on glyphosate are a betrayal of the American people. They deserve justice.
Lee Zeldin@epaleezeldin

I told Senator Sheldon WhiteClub today that I won’t be listening to or caring about any of his lessons on morality knowing that he joined an all-white Rhode Island Country Club. I’m also done with the likes of AOC, Al Gore, John Kerry, and the rest of the lying cabal that make stupid climate predictions, plunder tens of billions of tax dollars, enrich their well-connected allies, and are committed to strangulating out of existence entire sectors of our economy. Climate alarmist AOC wants to be taken seriously while also insisting the world is imminently about to end due to climate change (Just under 5 years remain on her nutty Jan 2019 prediction that only 12 years of life are left on Earth). Al Gore is now speaking publicly about his concern with global freezing after decades of grift talking about global warming. “Within the decade there will be no more snows of Kilimanjaro,” said Gore in 2006 (There’s still snow on Kilimanjaro year-round). Gore also predicted in 2009 ice-free Arctic summers within 5-7 years. John Kerry warned in 2009 that the Arctic would be ice-free by 2013. These people are dishonest, power-hungry hacks. The GREEN NEW SCAM is DEAD!!!

VRA was written to CORRECT racial gerrymandering: the act of forcing black voters into white conservative districts. Southern states couldn't be trusted to ensure black representation. And as witnessed today from Landry, Blackburn, et al, Congress was right in 1965 to do so.

This was actually a massacre of an unarmed refugee camp, by the way, indiscriminately killing thousands of unarmed people The "raid" was actually the turning point that lost Rhodesia the war. It was atrocious that even Apartheid South African began winding down arms sales
ADONIS@adonispara

In 1976, 84 Rhodesian soldiers raided a camp of 5,000 in mozambique and came back without losing a single man. operation Eland. one of the most asymmetric raids of the 20th century and barely taught anywhere outside military circles.

All Eyes On The Flotilla! Israel is currently seizing the second Samud Flotilla in order to continue their siege on Gaza. Moments like this draw global focus for a reason. If governments and regular everyday activists can’t stop Israel from starving an entire population, what is international law even for? Track the Flotilla Here: globalsumudflotilla.org/tracker/

🔴 The Israeli Navy has seized several ships from @gbsumudflotilla , and some of the ships will be towed to the port of Ashdod. 🔴 The IOF is now enforcing a naval blockade on Gaza, acting on instructions from the political leadership. 🔴 This completes Netanyahu's criminal record of obstructing even aid efforts to enter Gaza by sea.

URGENT 🚨 Right now – hundreds of miles from their territorial waters, near the Greek island of Crete – the Israeli navy has suddenly surrounded the @gbsumudflotilla at gunpoint, demanding their surrender. Hundreds of humanitarian workers are now at risk of violent abduction.

Welp, we ain’t getting real scientific guidelines for a while. Committees in medicine, public health, energy, science, and space are being completely decimated by the Trump administration. And the committees remaining are more closed off from the public. nature.com/articles/d4158…
