This is also one of my favorites: ”Le Baiser de l’hôtel de Ville” (The Kiss) by Robert Doisneau.

It was staged, but I love it anyway.

(Colorized by me) The Warsaw Uprising started #OnThisDay in 1944.

It was a major World War II operation by the Polish underground resistance, led by the Home Army (Armia Krajowa), to liberate Warsaw from German occupation.
If you like it, please RT. This is the best way to support my work. Thank you!
Although the exact number of casualties is unknown, it is estimated that about 16,000 members of the Polish resistance were killed and about 6,000 badly wounded. In addition, between 150,000 and 200,000 Polish civilians died, mostly from mass executions.

#OnThisDay in 1941 – Under instructions from Hitler, Hermann Göring orders Reinhard Heydrich to "submit to me as soon as possible a general plan of the administrative material and financial measures necessary for carrying out the desired Final Solution of the Jewish question."
With the onset of Operation Barbarossa, mobile killing units of the SS, the Einsatzgruppen, and Order Police battalions were dispatched to the occupied Soviet Union for the express purpose of killing all Jews.
During the early stages of the invasion, Himmler himself visited Białystok in the beginning of July 1941, and requested that, "as a matter of principle, any Jew" behind the German-Soviet frontier was to be "regarded as a partisan".

Otto von Bismarck died #OnThisDay in 1898.

Colorized by me.
Bismarck was born in 1815 at Schönhausen, a noble family estate west of Berlin in the Prussian province of Saxony.
The year before his death, Bismarck predicted:

"One day the great European War will come out of some damned foolish thing in the Balkans."

1) #JeffreyEpstein strange temple design - where else have we seen this. Let's add links.

2) Look at the similar design in this photo of the Great Umayyad Mosque in Aleppo, Syria. (Please note that I know nothing about design or architecture, so maybe this design is common. Just linking what's been found. And will look broadly.)

3) As @Richardkimble45 just pointed out - the immediate question in my mind - if Epstein was a Mossad op, why is the "temple" Muslim-looking?

"Lior Shamir at Lawrence Technical University gathered the lyrics of 6,150 Billboard Hot 100 singles from 1951 to 2016 and fed them to an algorithm"

1. En cette période de commémoration, je voudrais parler de Rose, une grande dame pour laquelle je veux tenir nos mémoires en éveil. Sa vie a basculé entre le 22/04 et le 17/06/1994. Chaque jour jusqu'au 17/06, je vais vous parler de celle qu'elle fut #laVieDeRose #Rwanda #RwOT🇷🇼
2. Comme toute chronique, l’itinéraire de vie que je vais vous raconter est divisé en plusieurs périodes. L'histoire de Rose suit le calendrier de l'Histoire de son pays natal, le Rwanda : avant 1959, entre 1959 et 1994, entre avril et juillet 1994 et après 1994. #laVieDeRose
3. Elle s’appelait donc Rose, et elle était aussi belle que la reine des fleurs. Comme ne tarderait pas à le démontrer son parcours accidenté de jeune fille, de femme, de mère puis de veuve, Rose appartenait à la version la plus résistante de l’arbuste dont elle porte le nom.

Juste de préciser en effet que Cantat a effectué une peine moins longue que s'il avait entraîné une ITT de moins de 8 jours.
TW violences conjugales- rappel que les lésions de Marie auraient pu relever d'un accident de voiture tant c'était violent.
Parler de "pluie de coups" à propos de quelques cris de militantes excédés quand on a soit-même tué une femme de ses mains, ça prouve quand même la décence du bonhomme.
Mais alors dire z tout va qu'il a "purgé sa peine" quand on voit ce qu'il a RÉELLEMENT effectué comme peine de prison ça me donne envie de vous arracher les poils de nez un par un.
