There is absolutely no question that while Trump continues to delude himself that the U.S. is ‘respected like never before’, the world is rewiring in the background and Mark Carney is leading the charge.

Sarah Paine is a historian, she’s professor emeritus at Sims University Professor Emerita of History and Grand Strategy, she’s taught strategy at the Naval War College since 2000. She lectures on geopolitics, Mao, and the Russo-Japanese, world, Chinese civil, Korean, Vietnam and Cold wars.

She’s not been bankrupt six times, she’s not prone to falling asleep in meetings. She doesn’t have a crypto bribery pipeline and above all, speaks in joined up sentences and IS respected around the world.

🚨 BREAKING:

Jennings: "Let's not overreact here."

McGowan: "Why are you talking like that? It's insane. Your position is truly terrifying... Everything in these files could bring down the entire House. And if it needs to, so be it. If it brings down Democrats, bring them down. If it brings down Republicans, bring them down. Bring down princes, world leaders, Hollywood stars — bring them down. But what it looks like right now is a massive secret group of people who are above the law."

They told Édith Piaf she was finished. So she sang “I regret nothing.” and gave a performance that not only was iconic but would go on to live in history forever.

In December 1960 she was exhausted, gravely ill, and under doctors’ orders to stay off the stage.

The Olympia was facing bankruptcy. Most people thought her career was already over.

She walked out anyway.

A few weeks earlier Charles Dumont and Michel Vaucaire had brought her a new song: Non, je ne regrette rien.

She heard it once and claimed it as her own no sentiment, no softness, only a driving march and absolute moral force.

Her posture was famously minimal she stood standing motionless in her simple black dress, letting her hands and voice carry the entire drama. She did not perform the song. She inhabited it.

That night she saved a theatre and turned a personal reckoning with loss into one of the century’s great statements of endurance.

Frail in body, inexhaustible in spirit, she remains one of the most iconic singers the 20th century ever produced.

The Little Sparrow did not fly away.
She simply refused to land.

I know some of you will have a fine time with these.

1. If poison expires, is it more poisonous or is it no longer poisonous?

2. Which letter is silent in the word "Scent," the S or the C?

3. Do twins ever realize one of them was unplanned?

4. Why is the letter W in English called double U? Shouldn't it be called double V?

5. Every time you clean something you make something else dirty.

6. The word "swims" upside-down is still "swims”

7. 100 years ago everyone owned a horse and only the rich had cars. Today everyone has cars and only the rich own horses.

8. If you replace "W" with "T" in "What, Where and When" you get the answer to each of them.

9. If you rip a hole in a net there are actually fewer holes in it than there were before.

10. You’re welcome! 😎

[Masih Alinejad @AlinejadMasih]

Let me introduce you to a brave hero from my country, Iran.

She was 16 years old. Just a girl. And on the streets of Iran, she did something braver than most people do in a lifetime: she took off her hijab and burned it in public. Right in front of the regime. Right in front of the world.

That was her crime: civil disobedience. A teenage girl refusing to obey men who claimed authority over her hair, her body, her life.

Her message spoke for millions of Iranian women:

To every man who rules over women in the name of religion, honor, or culture: We do not obey you. Your laws were never made for us.

This is what real power looks like: unarmed, unafraid, unbowed.

For that defiance, she was arrested. Her family says she was tortured and killed after falling into the hands of security forces. The Iranian authorities denied responsibility and gave a different account of her death.

Her name was Nika Shakarami. She was 16.

Now ask yourself: How many women in the West know her name? How many know what she risked for a freedom they have never had to fight for?

Say her name: Nika Shakarami.

I’m speechless. I just don’t understand it either. Have we always been like this or has the vail finally fallen. Is this what “woke” really means?

[RC deWinter @RCdeWinter]

i’m a boomer, I remember this stuff…

How It Used To Be

It took three minutes for the TV to warm up.

Nobody owned a purebred dog.

A quarter was a decent allowance and made with real silver.

Your Mom wore stockings that came in two pieces - one for each leg.

You didn't pay for air.
You got your windshield cleaned, oil checked and gas pumped, without asking, all for free, every time.

Laundry detergent had free glasses, dishes or towels hidden inside the box and you got trading stamps too.

And don't forget Crackerjacks! A prize in every box.

Teachers threatened to keep kids back a grade if they failed...and they did it.

No one ever asked where the car keys were because they were always in the car, in the ignition, and the doors were never locked. This sometimes applied to house keys, too.

Playing baseball with no adults to help kids with the rules.

Stuff from the store came without safety caps and hermetic seals because no one had yet tried to kill a perfect stranger with mass-distributed poison.

Wax Coke-shaped bottles with colored sugar water inside.

Blackjack, Clove, Pepsin and Teaberry chewing gum.

Home milk delivery in glass bottles with cardboard stoppers.

Telephone numbers with a word prefix. And no area code for local calls.

78's and 45's - no, not guns.

S&H Green Stamps

Mimeograph machines

Having a weapon in school meant being caught with a peashooter or a slingshot.

Saturday morning cartoons weren't commercials for action figures.

The worst embarrassment was being picked last for a team.

Water balloons were the ultimate weapon and war was a card game.

People "went steady."

You'd reach into a muddy gutter for a penny - made with real copper. (I still do...giggle).

“Olly-olly-oxen-free”made perfect sense.

People didn’t go into schools, bars, festivals, or stadiums
and shoot strangers just for the hell of it.

and I was particularly lucky because I grew up in a mixed- race neighborhood for the first nine years of my life so I’ve always been colorblind and unafraid of difference.

Having said this, there was plenty of hypocrisy & bullshit back then too-particularly #racism #sexism #homophobia and let’s not forget lead paint and asbestos, too.

Of course now we have newly-intensified #racism/#misogyny #homophobia
#theocracy mass shootings the rollback of women’s bodily autonomy, book censorship, a congress infested with insurrectionists, religious whackjobs, and an ex- President who’s a convicted sex offender who had other sexual offenders – mostly pedophiles – working in the local areas of his campaign and yes, I’ve documented it so don’t give me any shit – and was found to have stolen classified government documents in his personal residence…and who also happens to be a racist, a scammer, and a grifter who admires Hitler and wants to run for president again.

and don’t forget, if you or I were found with stolen classified government documents in our basement we’d be sitting in jail right now. Kind of makes you wonder just how high up and down deep this corruption goes, doesn’t it? And don’t get me going on Scotus…

Tonight, the Empire State Building tower lights will turn to a pink sparkle at 9:25 to honor the late Dolly Parton.

Dolly was a global cultural icon whose seven-decade career reached generations of fans. Beyond entertainment, Dolly leaves a significant philanthropic legacy through the Dollywood Foundation and Imagination Library, which has provided hundreds of millions of books to children worldwide.

At Nine-Two-Five tonight, we celebrate her and her legacy 💖
