This week, Chile announced a proposed new constitution written by a democratically elected convention, and it is likely the most legitimate constitution in the world, as it is written boldly in the context of the climate crisis. A 🧵on its inspiring climate provisions.

Another. The smoke rising in the background is somebody's home, the police laughed and made the owner watch it burn. Thatcher waged war on any community she saw as a threat to capitalist greed, proclaiming "people should be free to choose, so long as they make the right choice".

A lace made from silver-coated silk yarns was found with an infant hidden in a burial of a man inside the church on Hailuoto Island. During the 17th century, these elaborate and valuable metal laces were made in most capital cities in Europe. It was likely illegal. #PMAC22 6/16
