We’ve been exploring the National Register of Historic Places, the official list of the nation’s historic properties worthy of preservation. We’ve looked at the earliest buildings up through the 1880s. Now onto the 1890s: a time of architectural blossoming in Milwaukee:

Biden picked a dynamic team of proven leaders who can pull all the levers of govt to rebuild the economy and help working families.
The more you think about it, @JanetYellen and @wallyadeyemo are a great 1-2 to lead @USTreasury. Their careers and life experiences compliment each other perfectly.

Both are competent and crisis-tested; they'll know how to take on the huge challenges facing the economy.
And I get chills thinking that a woman and Black man will lead Treasury. #historic 👏🏿👏🏿

Trump says other countries "very very soon" will follow the peace deals; he harkens back to his 2017 trip to Saudi Arabia; #happeningnow Image
Netanyahu: "Those who are with us today" Netanyahu says, "unimaginable a few years ago", he hints at Trump lining up future peace deals; he speaks about the price of war and his brother who died in the Entebbe raid; those who have the wounds of war "cherish blessings of peace."
Netanyahu: "This peace will expand to include other Arab states and ultimately can end the Arab-Israeli conflict once and for all, and because of the great economic benefits...third because this is not only a peace between leaders but between peoples..."

Beginning on July 1, 2020, #Israel plans to take more #Palestinian land. Since 1948, Israel has annexed, occupied, taken, destroyed, built, and renamed everything from individual homes and property to public spaces, to #historic monuments.

“Don’t erase my #flag
Supporters fill #Miami City Hall to argue vs painting over the #PuertoRico mural on La Placita #restaurant , Biscayne Blvd #MIMO district.
City says it doesn’t fit the #historic district; owners say city already permitted it.
Stay tuned...
@WPLGLocal10 1/ ImageImage
The Puerto Rico flag mural item is underway. Finally.
The year-long controversy In a nutshell :
City & opposing neighbors: “it was painted under wrong type permit, isn’t allowed in an historic district”
La Placita: “#Miami issued that permit & should honor it👇🏼⏩
@WPLGLocal10
This is the permit at issue👇🏼 with which La Placita commissioned Puerto Rican artist Hector Collazo Hernández to paint the mural, the first in the U.S. of his series in PR, “78 Pueblos y Una Bandera”

THREAD: After the #TreeOfLifeSynagogue #shooting, the #KrogerShooting before that, and the +14 bombs sent by the #MAGABomber, it's crucial that we call #RightWingTerrorism out for what it is, but we also clearly need to talk about #WhiteSupremacy in the 2018 election.
We celebrate the truly #HISTORIC number of #women and #POC running for office in 2018, but we also refuse to ignore the volume & range of explicit and implicit #racist attacks almost every single candidate of color has faced in this election. That's also #WhiteSupremacy in action
Let's be clear: #POC running for elected office have ALWAYS faced hurdles to victory defined by the strength of #StructuralRacism and our country's long-standing culture of #WhiteSupremacy. But 2018 has taken it to a new level.
