British photographer Julia Margaret Cameron died #OTD in 1879.
She is considered one of the most important portraitists of the 19th century. She is known for her soft-focus close-ups of famous Victorian men and women, for illustrative images depicting characters from mythology, Christianity, and literature, and for sensitive portraits of men, women and children. via @wikipedia
An abolitionist designed the statue. A group of abolitionists paid for the statue. There's a plaque at the feet telling everyone what it's for. They named it the Statue of Liberty. It's arguably the largest anti-racism monument in the US, and the most recognizable anti-racism monument in the world...
Except people don't even know it's an anti-racism monument. They think it celebrates the huge influx of white immigrants from Europe that came to the US.
Rounded out 2023 with a hike at Musser Gap Trail in central PA. Some nice water features with a little elevation and interesting forest type changes.
Distance: 3.5 mi
Elev. gain: 740 ft
TIL that the US government runs an official dad joke database 👀
Judge #Luttig, via #AliVelshi
“It’s the #Constitution of the #UnitedStates that’s disqualifying the former president from higher office …. It’s not President #JoeBiden, it’s not the #Democrats, it’s not the anti-Trumpers—it’s the Constitution of the United States.”
Judge J. Michael Luttig, one of the early proponents of the case for disqualifying Trump under the 14th Amendment, joins Ali Velshi to share his reaction to the “historic” decision from the Colorado Supreme Court, what comes next, and to debunk common misconceptions the American public has about the ruling and its significance. “I think it’s crystal clear, or it will be crystal clear, to the American public that it’s the Constitution of the United States that's disqualifying the former president from higher office… not Joe Biden,” he explains. “That’s why I’ve said this case tests America’s commitment to its own democracy, the Constitution, and the rule of law."
