The Annie Walsh Memorial School, founded in 1849, is proudly the mother of all Girls’ Schools in Sierra Leone. In 1865 the school moved to its present location on Kissy Road and was formally named the Annie Walsh Memorial School in 1878. Happy Thanksgiving!

In April 1986 my parents learned about the #Chernobyl nuclear disaster via #RadioFreeEurope, while the Polish communist regime continued to hide the fact that a radioactive cloud was passing over Poland. Thanks to a radio funded by the US government, I and many other children

@KPisarska Yeah, before the internet the radio was important. Not so much now.

@KPisarska My first teen tech project was to fix an old radio to listen to the Voice of America and other news broadcasts from the “evil west”. Fast-forward to the 21st century and 🇺🇸 is done for.
My kids think USA 🇺🇸 is a joke ruled by an orange clown 🤡.
This is just sad 😢.

@KPisarska We may need a Radio Europe to broadcast into the USA. So US citizens can find out about disasters in the US.

Historian here:
“To announce that there must be no criticism of the President, or that we are to stand by the President, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public.”

A letter from Geesink to Bavinck on December 7, 1899.
Geesink was professor at the VU, while Bavinck was professor at Kampen.
Is anyone able to read Dutch handwriting and willing to transcribe?!

I came across this image in a newspaper celebrating the 25th anniversary of Bavinck as a professor (1908 - same year as his Stone Lectures).
I don’t think this portrait has been shared anywhere before.

SCOOP --> Trump's State Department quietly terminated a contract that was in the process of transferring evidence of Russian abductions of Ukrainian kids to European law enforcement, two sources familiar with the situation tell me.
Details here:

This contract is highly sensitive. The Yale lab tracking these kids is doing highly sophisticated work. They released an explosive report about 314 kidnapped kids in Dec. The transfer of underlying evidence to Europol has now been interrupted, sources say.

Tomorrow marks one week since the U.S. proposal for a ceasefire in the sky, at sea, and on the front lines has been on the table. The implementation of this proposal could have begun long ago. Every day in wartime is a matter of human lives.

People in 🇬🇧&🇪🇺 who are still claiming that America is their friend need to listen to what the American government is actually saying.
America is now Russia's friend. It is no longer Europe's friend.

@Lucian_Kim It's doubtful that many Americans fully grasp just how dangerously compromised Trump's approach and his administration have become. Gabbard's optimistic portrayal stands in stark contrast to the reality—Trump is not "focused on peace," but instead actively undermining global

On my call with President @vonderLeyen, we spoke about the ReArm Europe Plan and Canada’s role in strengthening defence at home and abroad.
In the face of global threats, Canada is meeting this moment — securing new military equipment and working with allies to keep us all safe.

It’s important you understand this. The people in this photo were residents of the USA that were denied due process. They were rounded up and shipped to a prison in El Salvador—without trial, without evidence—simply on suspicion of gang affiliation. This was done in defiance… pic.twitter.com/r4W9PHTeYT— Joshua Reed Eakle 🗽 (@JoshEakle) March 17, 2025

@tomkarren @JoshEakle And they all had court hearings?
Because the constitution provides equal protection to any person on US soil.
Or are they just being held without bail pending a trial?

@commonsense_tom @JoshEakle So enemies of the U.S. drop a toe on U.S. soil and have the same rights as citizens? Might want to check that.

@tomkarren @JoshEakle They might be, but non of us know that. The government makes mistakes, sometimes very serious mistakes, that's one of the reasons why due process is important.
