No mater how famous or wealthy, this is what every Black person, and especially Black women and children, can expect from the healthcare system anywhere in the US.
A New Mexico jury awarded the family of Star Trek icon Nichelle Nichols $13 million in a wrongful death lawsuit against the Gila Regional Medical Center in Silver City, New Mexico.
An expert informed jury ruled the hospital provided substandard care, failed to properly diagnose a treatable heart condition, and then discharging her hours before her death in 2022.
News media are already attempting to softpedal the story. Don't let them!

Moor Mother w/ Aquiles Navarro & Olof Melander + James McClure & Joao Guerra
OCCII, Thursday, June 4 at 08:30 PM GMT+2
SPACEIS THE PLACE:: “Moor Mother live at OCCII” Moor Mother w/ Aquiles Navarro & Olof Melander + James McClure / Joao Guerra Duo
Surprise gig! Moor Mother plays live at OCCII (Amsterdam), backed up by her musical soulmates Aquiles Navarro and Olof Melander! Expect the unexpected: new work, improv, and a selection from Moor Mother’s rich oeuvre.
Opening: James McClure & João Guerra
Vocalist and poet Camae Ayewa aka Moor Mother describes her music as “low fi/dark rap/blk girl blues/witch rap/coffee shop riot gurl songs/black ghost songs”. Her vast discography meanders adventurously between jazz, hip hop, and noise, with records under her own name, under the moniker 700 Bliss (with DJ Haram), or in collaborations with Irreversible Entanglements, the avant-metal band SUMAC, and many more.
“Moor Mother might be the most radical Afrofuturist artist to emerge for years” – The Wire
https://moormother.bandcamp.com/
Recently, Moor Mother has moved toward a more melodic and song-oriented approach, while still blending spoken word, experimental jazz, electronics, and radical poetry. Her album Jazz Codes (2023) draws from her poetry project and pays tribute to jazz visionaries such as Woody Shaw and Mary Lou Williams, combining layered vocals, atmospheric production, and free-form improvisation in collaboration with Swedish producer Olof Melander. On her latest full length album The Great Bailout (2024), she expands this cinematic and haunting sound into a powerful meditation on colonial history, displacement, and collective memory, moving between tenderness, noise, jazz abstraction, and poetic storytelling.
Internationally renowned trumpeter Aquiles Navarro — also her bandmate in Irreversible Entanglements and multi-faceted artist in his own right— contributed to Jazz Codes as well as Circuit City and Analog Fluids Of Sonic Black Holes, and later collaborated with Melander on the album Tangles (2024).
Moor Mother – "DEATH BY LONGITUDE"This event is present by Space is the Place
Since its founding in 2017, SITP has organized improvised music concerts that encourage creativity across genres and disciplines. Over the years, it has expanded through collaborations with venues and festivals in the Netherlands and abroad, including BIMHUIS, Paradiso, and WORM. -
7.2: Ariel & Christina Discuss: Why Must Utopia Be Cruel?
In this episode, Ariel and Christina try to get to the bottom of why our fictional visions of utopia are so negative. They often involve mindless acquiescence to an authoritarian nanny state, the oppression and labor of an underclass, or both. It’s as if we can’t imagine a situation in which we all voluntarily treat each other (reasonably) decently and life can be good for everyone. We discuss the literary origins of utopia, how it has evolved (or not) as a concept, and Ariel gives a few examples of sci-fi futures that are about as close to her style of solarpunk utopia as can be. Ultimately, the topic of utopia raises more questions than answers.
