A rare sight presents itself from the balcony on the torch of the Statue of Liberty, looking down at its crown. However, this unique viewpoint has been off-limits since 1916. The reason for this dates back 107 years ago, precisely on July 30, 1916. A momentous event occurred that night when an explosion on Black Tom Island in New York Harbor resounded for miles, tragically claiming seven lives and causing extensive damage, even shattering glass windows in Manhattan.

Black Tom Island was a significant hub for producing armaments, which were destined for shipment to Europe. These weapons played a crucial role in supporting Britain and France, both embroiled in World War I against Germany. It is important to note that the United States, at that time, was officially neutral in the conflict.

The explosion on Black Tom Island not only had devastating consequences on human lives and property but also impacted the nearby Statue of Liberty. Shrapnel from the explosion struck the statue, resulting in the closure of its torch to visitors for safety reasons.

While the National Park Service's Statue of Liberty website attributes the closure to the Black Tom explosion, the specific reasons why, even a century later, guests are still not allowed inside the torch remain unclear. Safety concerns and preservation efforts may be contributing factors, protecting this iconic symbol of freedom for generations to come.

in 1992, sinead o’connor shocked the producers of SNL when at the end of her performance, she tore up a photo of the pope to protest child sex abuse in the church. her career was totally derailed and the church’s abuse did not re-enter the national spotlight for another 10 years

THIS IS AWESOME!

🚨🚨🚨BREAKING: Actor Michael Imperioli says he's "decided to forbid bigots and homophobes" from watching his work following Supreme Court ruling.

“I’ve decided to forbid bigots and homophobes from watching The Sopranos, The White Lotus, Goodfellas or any movie or tv show I’ve been in,” Imperioli said in the caption of a post on his Instagram page Saturday, adding “Thank you Supreme Court for allowing me to discriminate and exclude those who I don’t agree with and am opposed to. USA! USA!” He wrote.

The actor, best known for his roles in the Emmy-winning HBO dramas “The Sopranos” and Season 2 of “The White Lotus,” posted a screenshot of a news report with a headline that read, “Supreme Court protects web designer who won’t do gay wedding websites.”

In the comments section, Imperioli continued to express his fury with the ruling by saying, “hate and ignorance is not a legitimate point of view.”
“America is becoming dumber by the minute,” he said in another comment.

Smash the 💙 if you appreciate Michael Imperioli for STANDING UP for Human Rights! 🏳️‍🌈

Now it’s time to join the activists who have been leading this work for years and do even more. 

That means volunteering in your community. It means supporting organizations like @PPFA, @USOWomen, and your local abortion fund that are doing great work. And it means voting in every single election — especially local ones where you can have an even bigger impact. 

It’s the best way to turn a setback into far more lasting progress. So let’s keep working.

Last week a father lined up his three children in his yard and executed them one by one in Cincinnati, Ohio. They were 3, 4 and 7. It’s also reported that one child ran away to the woods and he hunted him down and still killed him. The father admitted that he planned this shooting for months.

Ohio has some of the loosest gun laws in the nation. From arming teachers with limited training, to allowing conceal carry without a permit. The Ohio government refuses to use the funding that was provided through the Safer Communities Act which would help create laws like an extreme risk law that would allow a court to temporarily confiscate weapons from someone who may hurt themselves, or someone else provide funding for mental health services, and safe storage.

These children could be alive today if the State of Ohio worked to protect Ohioans instead of the gun manufacturers and the gun lobby.

We aren’t saying ban guns, we are asking you to potentially save lives. You can honor these children and the thousands of other lives that are taken every year due to domestic abuse. #EndGunViolence
