#OTD England bans #kissing because of the #plague (1439); #SanDiego founded (1769), #DC becomes the capitol (1770) and the #firsthijacking (1948) teaches the #hijacking lesson that its not a good idea to shoot the pilot if you cannot fly. #stupidnews todaypast.wordpress.com/2024/07/17/j...

#OTD in 2018, one of the most embarrassing moments in US-Russian history. Trump acts like Putin's lapdog. #trump #helsinkisummit #putinsbitch todaypast.wordpress.com/2024/07/17/j...

Jul-16-1945: Trinity Test Heralds Dawn of Atomic Age and Its First Victims The Manhattan Project, the $27 billion (in 2023 dollars) project led by Major General Leslie Groves to develop a nuclear, developed two types of atomic bombs – both of which made history on t…

#OTD in 1945, the atomic age begins with the #Trinity blast in Alamogordo, NM. A tale of monumental achievement and gross indifference to those living near the blast site who had no warning. #NewMexico #Downwinders todaypast.wordpress.com/2024/07/17/j...

Visitor numbers from Ireland to US down 27% last month Visitor numbers from Ireland to the United States fell by almost 27% in March compared to the same month last year, US figures show.

2/ #ICE and #Trump are scaring away tourists. There were nearly 500,000 visitors from Ireland in 2024 but that has dropped 27 percent this year. Overall, numbers from Western Europe were down 17.2%. This will cost billions in lost revenue. #tourismdecline www.rte.ie/news/ireland...

Irish tourist jailed by Ice for months after overstaying US visit by three days: ‘Nobody is safe’ Exclusive: For roughly 100 days, Thomas says he faced harsh detention conditions, despite agreeing to deportation

1/ Irish tourist overstayed visa for 3 days due to medical issue, notified ICE and ends up detained for 100 days at a cost to taxpayers of approx. $30,000 when he was willing to go home from the start. #ice #irish #cruelty

The cruelty is the point, especiallly when its to non-white people. #trump #waste #bigotry #emergencyfood

Trump didn't care about immigration rules when he ran a top modeling firm Trump Model Management then collapsed following an extensive Mother Jones investigation.

Models claim it was like slavery. Hmm - sounds Epstein-esque. #trump #epstein #immigration #hypocrisy www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Bigotry for Profit. Its not #AlligatorAlcatraz, its #DonaldsDachau.

Warnock: If I'm honest, there are days when I have to ask people of my faith tradition as a Christian, are we reading the same book? 

The book I know says I was hungry and you fed me. I was sick, I was in prison and you visited me, I was a stranger and you welcomed me….

again?

Imagine if the Trump campaign said, inflation is bad so we need to give millionaires and billionaires $93.6 billion in 2027 alone and you're going to pay for it. And, oh BTW, bringing prices down is hard - especially when I put tariffs on everything. #trump #billionairetaxcut #bigbeautifulbill

Borrowing from Grey Poupon commercials, it is the #BigAwfulBill in a nutshell. It would be more accurate if he was asking a working Joe in a van or asked "can your grandchildren spare" since they will be paying for this huge increase in the debt. #bigbeautifulbill #trump #voteno #wealthtransfer

Melissa and Mark Hortman’s beloved golden retriever, Gilbert, was the first dog in Minnesota history to lie in state. His ashes sat in an urn between the Hortmans in the Capitol rotunda.

Man Who Kicked Customs Dog Is Turned Away at D.C. Airport, U.S. Says The man, who was traveling on a tourist visa, kicked the dog, a beagle named Freddie who had detected food in his luggage, so hard that he was lifted off the ground, court records say.

A man traveling on a tourist visa was arrested and kept from entering the U.S. after he was accused of kicking a trained detector dog at an airport outside Washington, D.C., that had found more than 100 pounds of undeclared food in his luggage, the authorities said.

A Norwegian tourist was reportedly denied entry to the United States because he had this on his phone. So whatever you do, don’t share it with literally everyone you know. Also we’re sorry for whatever damage this might have done to your eyes and sanity.

Crockett: The First Lady, a model— when I say model I’m not talking about Tyra Banks, Cindy Crawford, or Naomi Campbell level— applied for an Einstein visa. You’re supposed to have some sort of significant achievement… She had none of those. It doesn’t take an Einstein to see the math ain’t mathin

This bill is not something Americans will just “get over.” But a message to anyone who votes for this — there’s a good chance people WILL get over YOU.

You don't "not recall" telling DOJ lawyers to say "fuck you" to court orders. You either remember saying it, or you remember that you definitely didn't say it. Emil Bove saying he doesn't recall means he definitely said it, and there's a roomful of people that can testify to it.

Muhammad Ali was convicted for refusing the draft.

“I’m against the war in Vietnam. My conscience won’t allow me to go… I’d just rather go to jail.”

Ali stood for justice, no matter the cost.

This was so beautifully accepted on Twitter, I thought I’d share here too
