22 California billionaires have spent a combined $150 million so far to defeat Prop 40. By spending their fortunes trying to stop California from taxing billionaires, they're making the argument for a billionaire wealth tax more clearly and articulately than anyone else possibly could.

If protesting didn't work, would those in power be doing everything they can right now to vilify protestors and crack down on free speech? Activist and author Annie Leonard offers an important history lesson on why protest is so important — and why it's needed now more than ever.

Remember: Wealth cannot be separated from power. We're seeing in real time how the extreme concentration of wealth is distorting our politics, rigging markets, and granting unprecedented power to a handful of people. Taxing the rich isn't just an economic issue, it's a defense of our democracy.

Immunologist and educator Dr. Florence Sabin died #OTD in 1953. The first woman to hold a full professorship at Johns Hopkins School of Medicine (where she graduated from in 1900) and the first woman elected to the National Academy of Sciences. #WomenInSTEM
A black-and-white historical photograph of pioneering scientist Dr. Florence Rena Sabin (1871–1953) in her laboratory workspace. Dr. Sabin, with her dark hair gathered back, wears thin, round wire-rimmed spectacles and a light-colored lab coat over a dark shirt. Seated in a dark wooden chair facing right, she pivots her upper body toward the camera with a calm, subtle smile. Her hands rest deliberately on a complex, vintage black microscope positioned on the desk before her. The laboratory setting features a dark wooden desk scattered with loose papers and a stack of documents. Behind her stands a tall wooden filing cabinet with numerous shallow drawers, while a large window to the right floods the scene with natural light, illuminating technical equipment nearby. The composition balances the scientific tools with her prominent, dignified presence, evoking an analytical yet warm and welcoming mood. This portrait highlights her legacy as the first woman elected to the National Academy of Sciences.
