Unsafe History is about the 21st Century fight for democracy, human rights and the rules-based order. It highlights historians who are applying historical thinking to the daily rush of events and who help us to understand the real issues at stake.

The end of the world could come as easily as this. It's time to take notice of the nuclear threat and those who have been campaigning for years to end this threat. See ICAN's website for what you can do. See: icanw.org.au

Journalist who won the prize Trump wants says US democracy 'on the edge of a cliff' Intentionally attacking civilians like aid and rescue workers, and journalists, is a violation of international humanitarian law and a war crime.

'Fact, truth, trust.
Without these three, you have no shared reality. We can't begin to have a conversation. We can't begin to solve any problems β€” and we have existential ones, like climate change. We can't have journalism. We can't have democracy.'
