Aujourd’hui, Robert #Badinter entre au #Panthéon, 44 ans après l’entrée en vigueur de loi sur l’abolition de la peine de mort dont il fut l’auteur. Contre une opinion publique largement pour son maintien.
Le progrès souvent dépend d’une seule personne courageuse et déterminée.

Hey Sumida River, moon.
Nearly full moon dressed up as a white blob, hiding behind the clouds like an obnoxious diva. Skytree lit green, white and purple river boat, and the Tobu line bridge lit up red yellow and white over the Sumida. Everyone but the moon is trying very hard.

The Defense Intelligence of Ukraine has released data on 178 Ukrainian cultural artifacts stolen by Russians.

Most of them - 140 artifacts - were stolen during illegal excavations in Crimea, in particular in Tauric Chersonese, at the Kadykivske hillfort, and in the Church of St. John the Baptist.

"[Toni] Morrison’s skill as an editor surely made her a better writer, but it undeniably took time and energy away from her own work, and it was never fully appreciated as an intellectual endeavor in itself." -- Marina Magloire via @thenation.com
“To Free Someone Else”: Toni Morrison the Book Editor
A recent book on her career in publishing makes the case that the great American novelist should also be seen as a pathbreaking editor.

Russian doctrine does not distinguish "Hybrid warfare" all of it is categorized as warfare.
Hybrid tag has been invented by our western politicians to make sure they can have an excuse to do nothing.

Today I wrote about why my law firm is currently litigating 63 voting and election cases in 30 states. While the legacy media focuses on other things, Trump has launched a wholesale attack on free and fair elections.

In the run-up to Brexit, EU membership for Brits was reported a a consumer issue and not a labour issue with regard to free movement. And so it continues with non-membership. A swizz perpetrated by ungrateful foreigners.

"Black people are tired. Not metaphorically tired—actually tired. The kind of tired that turns every group chat into a mix of gallows humor and emotional triage."

I write about white ignorance and how exhausting it is to hear white ppl insist "this isn't who we are, when it's ALWAYS who we've been.
White People’s Performative Ignorance Is Exhausting—Opinion
Disbelief over authoritarianism in America isn’t a cutesy personality trait. It’s a confession: You haven’t been paying attention.

The government is shut down because Trump and the Republicans are hellbent on taking health care away from you.

And they won’t even come to the table to talk to us about it.

This is not about politics. It's about people.
