I'm proud Public Notice has become a bastion of sanity amidst an ocean of sanewashing, a place left-of-center readers can reliably turn to for deep understanding of what’s happening in the American right. Here's to the next five years!

Born 5th Oct 1951, Irish singer Bob Geldof gained fame as the founder of the Boomtown Rats, which delivered hits such as Rat Trap & I Don't Like Mondays. He formed the charity supergroup Band Aid and organized Live Aid the following year (1985) to try and eradicate poverty in Africa. #BobGeldof

NASA astronaut & biochemistry researcher Peggy Whitson holds the US space endurance record. Cumulatively, she spent 695 days in #space--the equivalent of a hypothetical round trip to Mars. First woman NASA Chief Astronaut, 2009. #WomenInSTEM #WorldSpaceDay 🚀
A wide-angle interior photograph of legendary astronaut Dr. Peggy Whitson floating effortlessly in microgravity inside the seven-window Cupola observatory module of the International Space Station. Dr. Whitson is angled diagonally across the frame with one outstretched arm while smiling confidently at the camera. She sports her signature short, blonde pixie haircut and wears a dark blue and black commercial flight jumpsuit adorned with the prominent embroidered logo of Axiom Space alongside a mission patch on her chest. Behind her, the large, panoramic circular and trapezoidal windows frame a breathtaking, brilliantly lit view of planet Earth below, displaying bright blue oceans blanketed by swirling white cloud patterns. The geometric framework of the spacecraft interior, lined with handrails, switches, and wiring, creates a complex border around the vivid windows. The overall mood is triumphant, serene, and awe-inspiring. This image carries profound historical significance, documenting Whitson's groundbreaking transition to commercial spaceflight as a mission commander, continuing to break age and endurance milestones well into her sixties.

Students at Cornell are protesting the university's handling of an alleged sexual assault at a fraternity house in 2024 — and to show support for the unnamed accuser. Hundreds gathered to hear speeches by their fellow students in what's expected to be the first of multiple protests this week.

A new IWPR report confirms that college-educated Black women are more likely to lead in government than in companies. Which is why the DOGE cuts that slashed federal jobs have been particularly devastating for college-educated Black women. #blacksky
