Interview: “The American Revolution Was Hardly an Anti-Colonial Movement”

"Although the declaration famously asserts that all men are created equal... that clearly did not extend to Indigenous or enslaved Black people."

“When the drafters developed this declaration, they assumed that human beings were basically white men."

Banks, insurers, shipping companies and logistics providers have become so afraid of violating #US sanctions that they often refuse to work with #UN agencies trying to get #humanitarian aid to Cuba.

Donald Trump wants to have the largest fireworks display in history for July 4th, so the people of D.C. and Northern Virginia are going to get to breathe air with enough fireworks-related pollution in it that experts advise staying indoors and wearing an N95 mask if you have to go out

https://www.washingtonpost.com/climate-environment/2026/07/01/july-fourth-fireworks-likely-cause-hazardous-air-pollution-documents-show/

#USPol

Alt...

A draft air-quality analysis, based on the National Park Service’s modeling, states that people should “avoid prolonged exposure” to the pollution around the Mall. The Interior Department and the National Park Service did not immediately respond to questions about the documents and pollution associated with the event. In downtown D.C., Arlington and the Capitol Hill area, where pollution will be “very unhealthy,” the document says that people should “expect irritation symptoms” and limit their postshow exposure to the pollution. It projects that pollution will remain at elevated levels for three to six hours after the show. The analysis highlights best, worst and most likely scenarios based on wind conditions, humidity and other factors. In the “expected” or “most likely” scenario, the fireworks show will generate 600 to 1,200 micrograms of PM2.5 per cubic meter in the Mall area. A worst-case scenario would see more than 2,000 micrograms per cubic meter. Levels of up to 1,200 micrograms per cubic meter match what have been recorded with other fireworks events but are nevertheless reason to take precautions, said George Thurston, a professor of medicine and population health at New York University. He added that the worst-case scenario would exceed anything he has seen previously recorded from pyrotechnic displays. “People should use the precautionary principle, which is to minimize exposures,” Thurston said. “An N95 mask would be a good idea.”

The plane leaves behind thick, swirling exhaust trails that sweep upward across two horizontal dashed reference lines — the lower one marked "$1 BILLION" and the upper one marked "$2 BILLION" — visually conveying a dramatic, rocket-like surge in crypto-related income or wealth.
