We’re excited to announce our next major show, opening in 2019!

#MangaExhibition will explore the phenomenon of manga, and will be the largest exhibition of the art form ever to take place outside of Japan. ow.ly/LXIe30mRrsW
Manga is a Japanese visual narrative art, telling stories with pictures in real or imagined worlds. #MangaExhibition ow.ly/LXIe30mRrsW
Originating in Japan, today manga is loved across the world. From comics, anime and cosplay to graphic novels, fashion and gaming, manga has influenced artists and fans around the globe. #MangaExhibition ow.ly/LXIe30mRrsW
As a genre, manga developed after the Second World War, but its artistic roots can be traced back to narrative hand scrolls from the 12th century!

We’ve rounded up 10 key works that chart the history of Manga in this blog: ow.ly/zcxZ30mRYO9 #MangaExhibition
But why a show about manga at the British Museum? Our curators look after a growing collection of manga, and continue to collect contemporary works in this hugely significant genre. #MangaExhibition ow.ly/LXIe30mRrsW
Enter a graphic world where art and storytelling collide – brought to life like never before in our ground-breaking #MangaExhibition ow.ly/LXIe30mRrsW
Director Hartwig Fischer: ‘I am hugely thankful for @Citi’s continuing commitment to supporting projects at the British Museum.’ ow.ly/LXIe30mRrsW
Many of the objects in our #MangaExhibition are loans coming to the UK for the first time, transported by logistics partner @IAG_Cargo ow.ly/LXIe30mRrsW
The Citi exhibition ‘Manga マンガ’ opens 23 May 2019 – book tickets: ow.ly/LXIe30mRrsW #MangaExhibition

Two new reports are out today and offer the most extensive look yet at the Russian Internet Research Agency’s attempts to divide Americans, suppress votes, and boost then-candidate Donald Trump during the 2016 presidential election. Let’s dig in. 1/ wired.trib.al/pVmS5jJ
The reports, produced for the Senate Intelligence Committee, reviewed 10.4M tweets, 1,100 YouTube videos, 116,000 Instagram posts & 61,500 Facebook posts from 2015-2017. It’s the largest analysis to take place outside of the companies themselves 2/ wired.trib.al/pVmS5jJ
The report by cybersecurity firm New Knowledge detailed how social media was part of an extensive, complex campaign to suppress the black American vote by the Russian firm Internet Research Agency. 3/ wired.trib.al/sETbztl

What are Anita Hill’s critiques of what she encountered from the Senate Judiciary Committee? No clear process, a rush to a vote, and failure to call all relevant witnesses. She sees the same problems with the #Kavanaugh hearing. Hill calls for valuing the humanity of victims.
She then called out @OrrinHatch for comparing her to the exorcist. @SenMikeLee, a room of 600 of your constituents are listening to Anita Hill and looking for better from our Utah representatives. And we’re all registered to vote.
Anita Hill asks why the feminist movements in the 60s-90s weren’t enough to end sexual harassment. Her answer? No clear government leadership and an unwillingness to confront the harsh reality that many harassers are people we respect, including our friends and family.

Kicking off my #aashtoAM tweeting with a few relevant tweets from #WalkBikePlaces below. And really, you should just go look at that whole thread if you work in transportation.

After months in the making, we’re excited to announce the next evolution of the Indivisible movement 🥁🥁🥁

… the official, on-the-ground launch of Indivisible435, our 50-state political program!
Starting today:
📝Every Indivisible group will be able to sign up to use canvassing & phone banking tools!
💪We’ve doubled our organizing team to better support the thousands of Indivisibles on the ground.
🗣️We’ll build a national volunteer program to support 50+ key races!
We won’t close up shop, turn off the tools, and pull organizers out after election day. We will build long-lasting support to:

1) Equip all Indivisible groups, including in places where we might not win this cycle, as they build long-term power to contest e-v-e-r-y-w-h-e-r-e.

1/ This is no surprise - memories of the financial crisis are much fresher on the continent than in the UK. One diplomat recently told me it's 'simply not negotiable for Europe to allow a debilitating chunk of our economy to take place outside our regulatory reach'.
2/ However, if Britain is prepared to compromise on that regulatory reach (signing up to alignment and a strong dispute settlement system) there is scope and some calls within EU27 for a wider deal on financial services than in other EU FTAs like CETA.
3/ But then politics comes charging into the mix. Another diplomat said the bloc would have to charge a 'seriously substantial price' in return for financial services access otherwise some EU member states (not to mention Norway and co) would start wanting the same as the Brits.
