The eruption of Mount St. Helens, seen shortly after 8:32 am Sunday, 18 May 1980, probably along the forest roads of Gifford Pinchot National Forest. The photographer, Richard Lasher, survived the eruption that killed approximately 57 others.

Tomorrow marks the 61st anniversary of Bloody Sunday in Selma, Alabama. It also marks the 60th anniversary of the Supreme Court first upholding the Voting Rights Act. We have gotten so, so far away from a Court that cares about democracy. New from me at @brennancenter.org:

Sixty years after upholding the Voting Rights Act, the Court has dismantled most of it.

Trump tells one history of Greenland. Historians tell another.

On this day, 36 years ago, the #VelvetRevolution began. Students gathered in Prague and demanded more democracy. A peaceful movement that changed the course of history — and still inspires Europe today.
A large crowd of protesters gathered during the Velvet Revolution, many holding banners and Czech flags. People stand closely together in cold weather, some with umbrellas. Overlaid text reads ‘Velvet Revolution – 17–29 November 1989.

New piece. The data presented by @thejcpa.bsky.social and @counterhate.com about antisemitism on X is stark: it is being spread to hundreds of millions of people. Not just antisemitism, but OVERT antisemitism. And that shift means far more than people realize. It won't be long before it leaves X.

Overt Anti-Jewish Hate is On the Verge of Going Mainstream
The combination of mainstreamed conspiracy theories and overt hate on X is close to transforming America's relationship with Jews.
