Jane Addams: the first American woman awarded the #Nobel Peace Prize, 1931, her efforts to revive the ideal of peace & champion social justice globally. She co-founded @aclu.org, 1920, and is the "mother" of the #socialwork profession in the US. She was born #OTD in 1860. #CivilLiberties #HistSky

Black-and-white historical photograph of Jane Addams (1860–1935), the pioneering social worker, suffragist, and first American woman to win the Nobel Peace Prize. Addams is seated at a dark wooden desk, her body angled toward the viewer while her right hand holds a pen poised over a piece of correspondence. She is dressed in a formal, dark, three-quarter-sleeve jacket over a white, high-collared lace blouse. Her most striking accessory is a large, dark, wide-brimmed hat adorned with voluminous, light-colored feathers. A thin dark ribbon is tied closely around her neck, and a long, fine chain hangs over her chest. Her expression is composed and serious, characterized by heavy-lidded eyes and a direct gaze that conveys intellectual focus and resolve. To the viewer's left, a tall glass vase filled with light-colored roses sits on the desk, providing a soft contrast to the room's spare, interior background. The composition is a classic portrait that captures the dignity of a woman whose work at Hull House transformed American social reform. The mood is scholarly and dignified, highlighting her status as a leading public intellectual of the Progressive Era.

It is journalistic malpractice that major news outlets are not producing 5-alarm-fire reports to warn the public that the president of the United States is out of his mind.

Trump posts a map of New Mexico with the word "Mexico" crossed out and "America" added in its place.

If you’re a Google Map user in the US, you’ll now see the name “Lake America” instead of “Lake Ontario,” just days after Trump’s order renaming the body of water. Online reactions of outrage are widespread, but Google has long demonstrated little interest in opposing the Trump administration.

Google's obedience to Trump's "Lake America" order follows a depressing pattern.

The tech giant renamed Lake Ontario for American eyes only—and hedged everywhere else.

Ok. If you're wondering what the SAVE the Fascists Act does, Senator Hickenloper spells it out pretty clearly. It makes it harder for women (and many others) to vote. There is virtually no voter fraud in the US. The Bush DOJ did a years-long study looking at billions of votes. Virtually zero fraud.
