AOC: Companies like Palantir are mining endlessly the data and privacy of the American people—keeping track of everything that they say and do. And sending it to a militarized government.

Today is the 115th anniversary of the Triangle Shirtwaist fire: 148 workers killed, most of them young Jewish immigrant women. Survivors like Pauline Newman fought for child labor protections. The @forward.com asks what it means that those protections are eroding again. forward.com/opinion/8095...

Let’s stop softening the language. The pregnant detainees in the Texas ICE camp are children. They are not “young women.” They are minors. If pregnancies occurred while they were detained, every ICE officer must be investigated for child sexual assault. These children must be freed.

For some scale, NOAA's budget is $7 billion a year, the National Park Service's budget is $3 billion a year, and the entire federal public defender system costs under $2 billion a year. Heck, this is more than twice what ICE got for Trump's signature mass deportations last July.

On Mothering Sunday thinking about Mary "Mother" Seacole (1805- 1881) Medical practitioner who used her sophisticated knowledge of pharmacology to nurse those wounded in the Crimean war. Author of the first autobiography by a woman of African descent in Britain.
B/w photograph of Mary Seacole. Her hair is braided and she is wearing an attire with a lace collar and a string of pearls. She is staring directly at the viewer with a strong and kind expression.Seacole's Times Obituary

May 21, 1881: The trustees of the fund established some time since in behalf of Mrs Mary Seacole wish it to be known that she died on the 14th inst. 
The deceased, it will be remembered, greatly distinguished herself as a nurse on the battlefield and in hospitals during the Crimean war. A Creole, she was born in Jamaica early in the present century, and from childhood was instructed by her mother in the art of nursing. In 1855, after it had been announced that no more nurses were required in the Crimea, she established a mess-table and comfortable quarters for sick and convalescent officers at Balaclava, landing there in the month of February. She was present at many battle, and at the risk of her life often carried the wounded off the field. Before Sebastopol she was a patient nurse among those stricken with cholera, and when she returned to England after the peace she was ruined in fortune and injured in health. 
The fund already referred to was then started, the Prince of Wales, the Duke of Edinburgh, and the Duke of Cambridge being patrons. In 1857 she published an autobiography, entitled “Wonderful Adventures in Many Lands,” the preface being written by Dr W. H. Russell. 
“I have witnessed,” he writes, “her devotion and her courage; and I trust England will not torget one who nursed her sick, who sought out her wounded to aid and succour them, and who performed the last offices of her illustrious dead.” 
The sum raised for Mrs Seacole enabled her to end her days in comfortable ease. Strange to say, she has bequeathed all her property to persons of title.
