Before Canada went insane they built some of the most beautiful churches on earth. 🧵 Image
Notre Dame Basilica is located in the historic district of Old Montreal. Image
Basilica of Sainte-Anne-de-Beaupré Image
St. Mary's Basilica (Halifax, Nova Scotia) Image

I hope to visit all of these beautiful churches before the Trudeau administration allows them to be burned to the ground like 33 other churches in Canada since 2021.

Let’s raise awareness before they are gone!! Image

15 things you (probably) didn't know about the Sagrada Família 🧵

1. It’s the largest unfinished Catholic church
2. Gaudí designed the columns to resemble trees and branches.

The basilica is often described as "the most extraordinary personal interpretation of Gothic architecture since the Middle Ages.” Image
3. Its four towers were completed in November 2023, more than 140 years after construction began. They represent the Evangelists: Matthew (angel), John (eagle), Mark (lion), and Luke (ox).

Their completion marks the beginning of the basilica’s final central phase.

Happy 4th of July!! 🇺🇸 Sadly, 4 out of 5 Americans under 45 can’t answer basic questions about our country. My daughter captured this reality on video in downtown Annapolis.

To help fix it, CLT is launching a free American Civics Exam—one year from today. 🧵
In the early republic, civic knowledge and engagement were pillars of American identity.

Citizens understood their rights and responsibilities, helping to sustain the young democracy. Image
Civic education was seen as essential for self-governance.

As Thomas Jefferson once said: “The cornerstone of democracy rests on the foundation of an educated electorate.” Image

For centuries, churches were the tallest structures in the world. This reality not only shaped skylines, but the orientation of culture itself.

The tallest churches on Earth - a thread🧵

1. At 157 m (515 ft), Cologne Cathedral is the tallest twin-spired church in the world.
2. Ulm Minster is the tallest church in the world, with its majestic spire reaching an height of 161.5 m (530 ft).

The spire was originally planned to be shorter but was raised to surpass the height of Cologne Cathedral. Image
3. Sagrada Família, Barcelona

This is the largest unfinished Catholic church in the world: once the Jesus Christ spire is completed, it will become the tallest church building on Earth — 11 metres (36.1 ft) taller than the current record-holder, Ulm Minster.

1. Leonardo da Vinci’s study of a hand Image
2. A page from Albert Einstein's 1912 notebook with his works on relativity Image
3. Marie Curie passed away from aplastic anemia on July 4, 1934, due to prolonged exposure to radiation during her research.

Details you missed and things you (probably) didn't know about the Roman Pantheon 🧵

1. This takes place at noon every Pentecost Image
2. The Pantheon is one of the best-preserved monuments from Ancient Rome.

Since the 7th century, it has functioned as a church dedicated to St. Mary and the Martyrs, and it also houses the tombs of several Italian kings as well as the artist Raphael.
3. Each year on April 21, one of history’s most stunning special effects takes place in the Eternal City.

At midday on Rome’s traditional birthday, sunlight streams directly through the oculus, illuminating the entrance.

Stepping in, the Emperor was bathed in celestial light. Image
