STEWART: “Comedy doesn’t change the world, but it’s a bellwether— we’re the banana peel in the coal mine… authoritarians are the threat to comedy, music, art, thought… progress.”

Nailed it.

Organizers behind the Correct The Map campaign say the Mercator map's shrinking of Africa minimizes the continent's global influence — and is just plain inaccurate.

This is the site of the Sand Creek Massacre. On November 29, 1864, ~675 US Military soldiers convened on this site in southeastern Colorado. 🧵

Absolutely incredible graphic from 1880 tracing the history of political parties in the United States.
From Smithsonian description: "This ambitious chart presents U.S. political history on a single page. Moving from left to right, a timeline of parties, policies, persons, and events courses like a river through graphic space marked in four-year intervals. The analogy between politics and springs and rivulets (that jump and rejoin their banks) is the most conspicuous feature of the timeline. The parties appear in different colors. The ascendance of a party is gauged as its stream rises above the centerline, and above the streams of other parties. The thickness of a stream indicates the party’s strength. The diagram is meant to dramatize U.S. political history in a more accessible shape for educators and to offer a ready reference for scholars, statisticians, and statesmen. The chart itself, titled “Diagram of the Rise and Fall of American Political Parties, from 1789 to 1880, inclusive,” is from the Conspectus of the History of Political Parties and the Federal Government, by Walter R. Houghton, 1880"

COMMENTARY: It takes a great country to admit its mistakes. The Trump administration's new signs at Colorado's National Historic Sites reflect weakness and insecurity.

Tell the Senate NO to Public Land Sell Offs
TAKE ACTION! The Senate wants to sell off 3.3 million acres of public land. That’s 4x the size of Rhode Island. The outdoor community stopped land sales before. We need your voice again.

Cinco de Mayo has a bit of a different meaning for me. Although I do think the Mexican victory at Puebla in 1862 over the French was glorious, May 5 for me was my last #chemo in 2017. #FuckCancer #DLBCL #RCHOP #RedDevil
Hospital room, red shoes and blanket covering the patient. Hospital equipment in the background. In the hospital, a patient receives a chemo infusion of Doxorubicin, or The Red Devil.
