Nelson Mandela walked free from prison on this day 1990.
"I was called a terrorist, but when I came out of jail, many people embraced me, including my enemies, and that is what I tell other people who say those who are struggling for liberation in their country are terrorists."

Sir Ian McKellen performing a monologue from Shakespeare’s Sir Thomas More on the Stephen Colbert show. Never have I heard this monologue performed with such a keen sense of prescience. Nor have I ever been in this exact historical moment.TY Sir Ian, for reaching us once again.

🗓️ #OTD in 1943 – the White Ensign is raised over COPP Depot on Hayling Island for the first time (📸 from 'Stealthily by Night' and NARA 286960596). COPP was formed at the end of November 1942 but it's taken until now to get fully up and running. #NavalHistory

Folds on the Kennedy Center 3 weeks ago: I was sick to my stomach when I quit because I knew they were going to run it into the ground. No one that they were appointing had any experience in arts administration, but that was never the point. The point was to take that, run over it, and move on.

When Trump insists something is great, know it’s shit.
When he attacks his adversaries for wrongdoing, know he is guilty of doing what he is accusing others of doing.
And no, he will never accept blame or admit mistakes.
Accusations are confessions.

If a project is going to fail, as Brexit so clearly has, there has to be the foresight and readiness to implement "fail-fast" methodology. Ditch it, fix it, move on.
Full EU membership should be put to the public at the next election. It's time to return home.

A reminder to the news media: “conflicting accounts” is what you say BEFORE the incontrovertible video evidence appears. After that, your job is to ask why one side is lying, not to repeat the lie and pretend no one knows the truth.

I made this video so we can talk about what ICE is actually doing in our cities. I have the details and you need to hear them. Please share this.
ICE isn't targeting criminals or even people here illegally. They are just making up the law - every day. Here's what's going on.
