Chinese virologist who was first to share -19 genome sleeps on street after Chinese government shuts his lab

@kcarruthers This is truly a shame, a squalid, seamy, nasty little stain on the PRC. They should be ashamed to treat a scientist of his caliber this way. Anybody can be a party functionary. Few of us have the kind of intellect that could make groundbreaking discoveries furthering the sum of human knowledge.

“ 'According to some estimates, 40% of money laundering around the world – this is money often stolen from Africa and Africans by corrupt businessmen, bent politicians and war lords and so on – 40% of that money comes through London and overseas territories and crown dependencies.’ ”

@StillIRise1963 Years after our publicly celebrated "independence," the colonizer's businesses continued to siphon off the country's wealth, paying exorbitant salaries and "hardship benefits" to people from the home office to work in the tropics. While they paid a pittance to the actual natives who did the actual work.

Meghan Markle looking radiant as she visits Nigeria.🇳🇬♥️

Sometimes I get sad thinking about what could have been, and how many deep wounds could have been healed. I can see a world where we can all say "imperialism was bad, slavery was bad, colonialism was bad, and exploiting smaller countries for their natural resources is bad. Let's choose to do better."

When I think about which royals could bridge our current world with that better world, I think of Harry and Meghan.

@mekkaokereke I see how the rest of the British royals treat POC. They're afraid to touch or be touched by them, they want them behind wire fences, like when Kate and William went to the West Indies.

This tiny, beautiful woman represented an entire WORLD of possibilities, but those hidebound carcasses probably felt guilt, shame, and terror even being around her. She's a visible reminder their day is over.

@StillIRise1963 I know. Horrible thought. I see so many people with light skins, blonde hair, green/blue eyes, and they look white to me. But then, white people tell me they're Black, and at first I used to think, are you crazy, they're whiter than YOU. And then I realized that they don't give a damn how white a person looks, if they have "one drop of Black blood." Which looks red to me, like all other human blood, and how the hell do you measure a single drop of blood in a sea of it?

Just remember, when you say you won't vote for Joe Biden, nothing bad happens to Joe Biden. He retires, goes home to his family, and lives his life in peace.

What happens to your Muslim/Hindu/Sikh/Jain/Buddhist/Wiccan/Pagan neighbours? They're fucked. What happens to your LGBTQ friends? They're fucked too. What happens to poor people? The disabled? The elderly? Babies? Kids? BIPOC folks? Women?

My nervous Formica subsericea colony. These are black field ants. When I turn on the light they panic. A newly emerged worker (called a callow) cowers as her sisters stampede over her. She is newly emerged and not strong enough to run and freak out.

One of her sisters picks her up and she tucks her legs in like a pupae so she is easy to carry. In a few days she will be a lovely black like her older sisters.

The light gray ant picked up by a sister.
