French blogger Xavier Tytelman,during a visit to the museum of the National Library of France,showed a map of Europe from 1754:

"My God,doesn't it say 'Ukraine,land of the Cossacks'Look how far it stretches,very far.What do we have to the north?The Russian Empire or Moscovia?That's Mordor up north"

Journalist Edward R. Murrow used his platform on CBS to criticize the witch hunts led by Senator Joseph McCarthy in the 1950s.

This is what real journalism should do β€” hold power to account, not capitulate to it.

Love this story about one of today's Nobel winners, Mary Brunkow.

(She and colleague Fred Ramsdell, working at Celltech (RIP), uncovered the role of Foxp3 in the development of Tregs.)

It’s important to flood social media and news channels with news about how ICE lies, so that potential jurors see it.

Latest bit of Montreal 'bikelash' sidesteps the facts to please bike-lane haters The findings of a study about bike lanes vs car infrastructure have been twisted by a Montreal publication in a cheap bit of bikelash.

Everything Leslie Roberts said about bike lanes in #Montreal was completely wrong

Bike lanes move more people, at lower cost, than any other form of transit

Roberts discredits Ensemble & himself: he doesn't know what he's talking about

No modern books will ever compare to the smell of books from the 1950s and 60s. I dare say even earlier. And the literature too, it's not the same as it is today. I prefer the much more refined English versions of fairy tales and ghost stories.

THE CHICKENS ARE FINALLY COMING HOME TO ROOST

Ryan Walters is out & the investigation floodgates just opened. The Oklahoma AG launched a full audit of Walters’ entire tenure as Superintendent, and it’s about damn time.

Also the education dept website’s being scrubbed of his culture-war nonsense.

Attorney for woman shot by Border Patrol claims officer said 'Do something b-----' before shooting Body-camera video appears to contradict the government's claim that Marimar Martinez, 30, drove toward officers before one of them opened fire at her late Saturday morning in Brighton Park, her attorney claimed. A judge ordered Martinez and a co-defendant released pending trial.

As the people who insist otherwise try to burn the country, it's important to affirm that immigrants, from everywhere, are awesome, and America is better the more immigrants we have. You have to be just empty and vapid and unimaginably small to reject that.
