Throughout the late 1960s, the Black Panthers carried guns and said, “The time has come for black people to arm themselves.” The government hunted and harassed the organization out of existence, even using methods... https://t.co/MQGcsuFpji

An eye-opening article about the permissiveness toward child sex in France. It vividly illustrates differences in sexual mores and provides insight into some of the attitudes women in music in Europe face. And the changes in consciousness that are... https://t.co/8uRg4hEYC0

Another example of the very different reporting one sees in Europe. I remember how during the build up to the Second Iraq War, there was a huge spike in the readership of the Guardian because so many Americans had lost faith in US news papers. https://t.co/BQKkjRqtyX
