Was organizing old Florence photos. Tried to brighten this with AI. Nothing scandalous. Both ChatGPT and Canva flagged it as ❌❌❌. Apparently Michelangelo’s David can’t even clear content moderation. So here he is. Unedited, shadowy, probably on a watchlist. Feels correct.

251 years ago, a bunch of regular people decided they’d had enough of corruption, greed, and a system rigged against them. What’s our modern equivalent of tossing tea in the harbor?🌊🫖 #bostonteaparty #corruption #historyrepeatsitself #powertothepeople #americanhistory #learnfromthepast

Silence can be just as powerful as action. Sometimes, it’s the quiet that speaks the loudest. Reflecting on the courage of those who stood in the face of injustice, like my ancestor Susannah Martin, whose story still echoes today.💫 #salemwitchtrials #humanrights #poetry #historyrepests #standup
A graphic of a poem titled ‘The Crowd Remains Silent.’ The text is set against a soft autumn background with a path leading into a forest. The title is in bold gold font, and the poem explores themes of injustice and silence.

A meteor shower
What's happening in the sky above Stonehenge? A meteor shower: specifically, the Perseid meteor shower. A few nights ago, after the sky darkened, many images of meteors from this year's Perseids were captured separately and merged into a single frame. Although the meteors all traveled on straight paths, these paths appear slightly curved by the wide-angle lens of the capturing camera. The meteor streaks can all be traced back to a single point on the sky called the radiant, here just off the top of the frame in the constellation of Perseus. The same camera took a deep image of the background sky that brought up the central band of our Milky Way galaxy running nearly vertical through the image center. The featured image was taken from Wiltshire, England, being careful to include, at the bottom, the famous astronomical monument of Stonehenge. Although the Perseids peaked last night, some Perseid meteors should still be visible for a few more nights. Image Credit & Copyright: Josh Dury

Indeed. When they rounded up the Japanese Americans, myself and my family included, for internment during WWII out of fear over Japanese spies and saboteurs, two thirds of us were U.S. citizens.

Don’t think it won’t happen again when they come for the “undocumented.”
Post from Latino pollster Mike Madrid: “Doing some research for an upcoming article on the last “mass deportation” of Mexicans during the 1930’s. Over half of those deported were US citizens.”
