Before the midterms of 1866, President Andrew Johnson called his congressional opponents traitors and said they should be hanged.

Voters were so profoundly moved by his words... that they gave his opponents a supermajority in Congress, and the nation got the Fourteenth Amendment.

Oh wow! This is what happens when you're photographing MSS & don't capture the text in the inner gutter. 1st, here's the photograph (made about 100 yrs ago) of the Codex Salernitanus, f. 82ra. Although that big tear of the page is obvious, the inner gutter hasn't been fully captured in the photo.

✒️ A Wall Panel, 1789 “Be in this world as if you were a stranger or a traveler passing along the road. Regard yourself as one of the inhabitants of the graves. When you reach the morning, do not expect the evening for yourself; and when you reach the evening, do not expect the morning for yourself.”

87 years ago, on the 16th of November 1938, LSD was first synthesized by Swiss chemist Albert Hoffman with the goal of obtaining a respiratory and circulatory stimulant with no effect on the uterus. Hoffman also discovered LSD's psychedelic effects in 1943 after accidentally ingesting it. #otd 🗃️

Hey Megyn Kelly,

14-year-old Eloise would like a word:

“If my voice makes you uncomfortable, good…
because the minute adults start defending predators by defending the age of a child, you’re not protecting the truth, you’re protecting the predator.”

Sound up! 🔥🔊

I really hope that when this ends— because it IS going to end— every last person responsible for these abominable abuses of power rots in prison for the rest of their miserable lives.

No one who participates and profits from it has any business being accepted by polite society ever again.
ICE agents in Chicago violently detain a non verbal autistic man for being “non compliant”

He couldn’t “comply” because of his disability…they don’t care

This is not the first time they’ve gone after a disabled person

They target the most vulnerable because it’s an easy way to meet their quota
