The History of the U.S. Constitution Not Taught in School:

In the 18th Century, the Iroquois League was the oldest, most highly evolved participatory democracy on Earth.

"It’s the omission of these three principles, the seven generations rule and the role of women that cause Native Americans today to say that, the U.S. copied the Great Law of Peace but didn’t really understand it."

Thread...

Thread on The TRUTH about #ChristopherColumbus and #ColumbusDay -

After Reading and Watching this...Ask Yourself, "Is This Someone That Deserves to be Celebrated?"

newsmaven.io/indiancountryt…
These Are COLUMBUS' OWN WORDS, NOT MINE:

“As soon as I arrived in the Indies, on the first Island which I found, I took some of the natives by force in order that they might learn and might give me information of whatever there is in these parts.”
Upon Arrival, Columbus Said:

“They willingly traded everything they owned…They do not bear arms, They would make fine servants…. With fifty men we could subjugate them all and make them do whatever we want.”

This Tone, Then Changes...

I Love My Husband @VinceSchilling For SO Many Reasons...

Too Many to Count.

I am ConVINCEd (Get it? hee hee) He is a Superhero.

Here is a Thread on One of the Many Reasons I Love Him...
Vincent Became a Leitenant in the Army.

Before that, He was a Medac and was Working in the Private Sector as a Phlebotomist.

This was in San Francisco and Happened to be at the Exact Time the AIDs Epidemic Started. It was Not Yet Called AIDs.

(Cont)
Much to @VinceSchilling Dismay, The People Workin with him Called it "The Gay Disease".

Vincent was Not Asigned to what was and Became the AIDs Ward.
He was Working on a Different Floor Until He Overheard Two of His CoWorkers Arguing...

I Hope People Take The Time to Read this and See the Deep Systemic Nature that Makes Justice Unattainable:

Police say dozens of Indigenous women died with 'no foul play,' but families doubt it -

cbc.ca/news/canada/ma…
Police Say "No Foul Play"

"Not Suspicious"

In the 32 Cases Below, These Facts Beg to Be Investigated, Yet... They Haven't Been...

This is Not Isolated. This is Common.

THIS IS ALSO WHY AN INQUIRY INVOLVING THE VERY PEOPLE THAT SEE "NO FOUL PLAY" IS AN ISSUE.
Clive Weighill, president of the Canadian Association of Chiefs of Police, acknowledges that some investigations have not been done properly.

I sometimes feel @georgialibs don't get enough high quality, academic press #history & #sociology books. Using the GA Pines automated system, people who are members of participating libraries can get a number of very good books which have recently come to my attention.
"The oldest living things in the world" by Rachel Sussman gapines.org/eg/opac/record…. This photo essay book is a beautiful, mind-expanding paean to our biosphere. (I realize this is a #science #ecology book)

Okay. History time!

You've probably seen photos of Commonwealth war cemeteries, with rows of white graves. They're heartbreaking images.

What you DON'T see are the thousands of small, tragic stories on each gravestone.

So I'm going to share some with you here. /1 #history #WW1
These stories exist because although every stone is similar, family members were able to pay to have a small, custom inscription made on each stone.

Which is why on Pvt J Low's grave you'll find this desperately sad inscription:

"Until we meet again. Mother." /2
Of course, the ABSENCE of anything is even sadder. Too often you'll see the nine saddest words in the English language:

"A soldier of the Great War. Known only unto God"

Those words appear when we know a body is there but not who. It was Rudyard Kipling who came up with them /3

#History/#Art thread – From my recent trip to Madurai/Tirunelveli. On Jain sites (some with a rich history dating back to at least the 3rd cent. BCE), early Pandyan rock-cut cave temples (7th-8th cent. CE) & the amazing Vettuvan koil.

Pic: Mahavira (~8 cent CE), Kizhakuyilkudi
Before I start on the places, the history around all this is fascinating & splits opinion. Is it apt to call the script Tamili/Tamil Brahmi? Did it develop independently in the Tamil country/come with the Jain monks from the north? Were 8,000 Jains actually impaled in Madurai?>
>Were the Saivites overaggressive in promoting their faith? Shall only be happy to discuss on these separately (unless it gets too long/irrational). And I’m not posting every inscription from the places here, despite their importance. Again, shall be happy to discuss them.

Learn something today about your government!

Article explains the difference of Democracy v. Republic but the picture is more succinct.

madisonproject.com/2013/09/we-the…

Hint: We are a Constitutional Republic much to the Democrats’ chagrin. #History #America #USA
Often Democrats mislabel our governance and that’s not by accident. As you can see, Democracy in its purest form is not what most would want. Our constructional republic is a much better way to govern bc ppl have the power not government. The inalienable rights are irrevocable!
With all this talk these days about the First & Second Amendment, Democrats want you to forget those inalienable rights are irrevocable so they can impose requirements making it impossible to enjoy . This is a detriment to society. Ex. Chicago 2A & Social Media censorship 1A!

End of news? My essay on why the crisis of journalism is beyond business models or trust—and what it means for democracy. #media #journalism
medium.com/s/story/face-i…
News was a historical cultural invention within certain conditions and with specific functions. Those conditions have now changed, I argued, leading to the demise of news. medium.com/s/story/face-i…
News is dying, but journalism is evolving into something else: non-fiction literature and video documentaries. My latest essay with quotes from James Carey, @jayrosen_nyu and Michael Schudson.
