🔥💔#NotreDame cathedral in the heart of #Paris on the Île de la Cité appears fully engulfed in flames. Fire broke out 7am, police say, perhaps from renovation work. Height of French Catholicism & gothic architecture, around for 856 yrs. Home of fabled Hunchback. Ahead of Easter.
Historic #NotreDame spire has collapsed and the cathedral’s back roof is engulfed in flames. Earlier report said fire began at 7am, tho likely 7pm. It’s 8:30pm in Paris. Reporters say it appears out of control, violent and moving quickly toward the iconic gothic facade. Tragic.💔
🔥Paris deputy mayor says #NotreDame suffered “colossal damages” in fire that began in spire. First responders now trying to salvage art and other priceless pieces in storage. Cathedral spox said entire wooden interior is burning & likely to be destroyed💔apnews.com/a0fbb1d19f7a44…
💔🔥😢OMG Such shocking devastation shown in this drone photo of #NotreDame Cathedral burning in Paris tonight. The helplessness watching this treasure of history and culture slowly being reduced to ash is so hard to bear. I hope some good comes from this tragic loss to us all.
🔥Some good news from France 24: Paris police and fire officials: Main Structure of Notre Dame cathedral has been "saved & preserved"; Fire has been stopped from spreading to northern belfry.
🇫🇷#BREAKING Macron: The worst has been avoided. The two towers and the facade have been saved. We will rebuild Notre Dame. We will build this cathedral. It is our destiny.
#NotreDameFire #Paris
🇫🇷#BREAKING President Macron announces France will rebuild #NorteDame Cathedral within 5 years. The historic & cultural landmark—the literal & figurative heart of Paris—was devastated in a shocking & fast-moving fire y’day. Many have already pledged money for its resurrection.
Beautiful THREAD by @Kyruer on the architectural artistry and cultural significance of iconic #NotreDame of Paris Cathedral. For fire to ravage such a monument of history is almost unimaginable. Thankfully, all was not lost.

😳Pretty sure @FoxNews’ Jeannine Pirro just called Robert Mueller a “whore” and the #MuellerReport a work of “whoremanship”👀

#HappyEaster #HappyPassover
😳Calling the #MuellerReport a work of “whoremanship,” FoxNews’ Pirro proclaimed it’s part of the “coup” to frame Trump, showing a pic of the usual coup plotters. (🕯RIP The “Total and Complete Exoneration” Propaganda. You were good & so profitable while you lasted😉)
☠️Giuliani Propaganda Level= Zombie Desperation
❌Russia’s interference isn’t new, so no big deal
❌MuellerReport has a ton of stuff—not evidence
❌OK to take info from Russia
❌Trump never tried firing Mueller
❌SCO hitmen tortured ppl
❌WhatABOUT Romney, Obama, Clinton-Ukraine

In NEW sentencing memo on Maria BUTINA, prosecutors seek 24 month sentence, saying tho not a traditional spy, her deception as an "access" agent, identifying vulnerable networks and individuals for Russia's spies to conduct influence operations, was integral to her crime.
Correction: Prosecutors ask for an 18-month sentence for Russian agent Maria #Butina, a downward departure from the 24 months recommended in the sentencing guidelines because of her cooperation assets.documentcloud.org/documents/5972… via @ZoeTillman
This thread has a link to an article by @KirkseniyaSF discussing #Butina serving as an "access" agent for Russia's trained spies

💥After Trump's "Russia if you're listening…find the 30,000 emails," Trump repeatedly asked ppl to find Clinton emails. Flynn said Trump made this request repeatedly & Flynn subsequently contacted multiple people trying to obtain the emails—including Peter SMITH! #MuellerReport
🚨Barr lied re collusion w/ Russia: Manafort briefed Kilimnik on plan to win election. Briefing encompassed the Campaign's messaging, its internal polling data AND discussion of how to win BATTLEGROUND STATES—Michigan, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, and Minnesota! #MuellerReport p.140
📖Reading break reminder: Damning facts in #MuellerReport make Barr's propaganda spin shocking & dangerous. Protecting Trump protects Putin. Condoning Trump's collusion & obstruction conduct—compromising our democracy w/in & w/out—confirms Russia's success & surely invites more.

Mon hommage à la cathédrale #NotreDame de Paris sera topographique, historique et archéologique.
C’est à dérouler ici ⤵️
De quoi parle-t-on tout d’abord ? Le terme de cathédrale ne renvoi ni à un type d’architecture, ni aux dimensions d’un édifice. La cathédrale romane de Senez par exemple, occupe à peine quelques travées de la cathédrale de Chartres.
La cathédrale c’est avant tout l’église de l’évêque. Elle incarne le pouvoir spirituel et temporel de ce personnage, central dans l’organisation du clergé catholique. Par extension, la cathédrale incarne l’ecclesia elle-même, la communauté des fidèles.

Hier soir on a suivi avec tristesse et émotion l'incendie de #NotreDame #NotreDameFire (bravo aux #pompiersdeparis). On a beaucoup réfléchi et on s'est dit qu'un hommage approprié et « dans nos cordes » serait de vous parler de l'#histoire (médiévale) de ce lieu. Un thread ! ⬇️
Comme bien d'autres églises, Notre-Dame a une longue histoire derrière elle. Elle est édifiée sur le (probable) site d'un temple galloromain (à Jupiter peut-être), comme le prouve le "Pilier des Nautes" retrouvé en 1711 dans les fondations de la cathédrale (ajd au @museecluny)
C'est là qu'on construit une basilique, au VIe-VIIe siècle. Elle devient une cathédrale au IXe siècle – et d'ailleurs elle brûle en 857, incendiée par les Normands !

Seeing the events unfold on the Île de la Cité this afternoon / evening, It's hard not to fall into despair ( I know, as could feel it happening to me) There is no doubt this is a heartbreaking & catastrophic loss.
But...
#NotreDame
if we can light a candle from these embers, it's that we will rebuild.
All those acres of lost medieval timber, well carpenters now will look at them anew. Masons will scribe sections and profiles, from books made by masons 200 years before them.
Archives will be scoured, old photos minutely examined for details not recorded elsewhere, people familiar with a building that has towered over them for their entire life, will look backwards, and tease out its form form from records, and elevations.
