Miles Davis - Birth Of The Cool (1957)

Birth of the Cool is a compilation album by American jazz musician Miles Davis, released in 1957 on Capitol Records. It compiles twelve tracks recorded by Davis's nonet for the label over the course of three sessions during 1949 and 1950. Featuring unusual instrumentation and several notable musicians, the music consisted of innovative arrangements influenced by classical music techniques such as polyphony, and marked a major development in post-bebop jazz. As the title implies, these recordings are considered seminal in the history of cool jazz. Most of them were originally released in the 10-inch 78-rpm format and are all approximately three minutes long.

Speak up and Be Heard - William Lloyd Garrison

William Lloyd Garrison

He is best known for his role as an anti-slavery advocate during the years leading up to the Civil War. 

He used his knowledge of the newspaper business and his skill as a writer to promote awareness of the evils of slavery. 

He published his newspaper, The Liberator, until the end of the Civil War.

William Lloyd Garrison (December 10, 1805 – May 24, 1879) was a prominent American abolitionist, journalist, suffragist, and social reformer. 

He is best known as the editor of the abolitionist newspaper The Liberator, which he founded with Isaac Knapp in 1831 and published in Massachusetts until slavery was abolished by Constitutional amendment after the American Civil War. 

He was one of the founders of the American Anti-Slavery Society, and promoted "immediate emancipation" of slaves in the United States.
 

He became involved in the anti-slavery movement in the 1820s, and over time he rejected both the American Colonization Society and the gradualist views of most others involved in the movement. 

Garrison co-founded The Liberator to espouse his abolitionist views, and in 1832 he organized the New-England Anti-Slavery Society. 

This society expanded into the American Anti-Slavery Society, which espoused the position that slavery should be immediately abolished. 

Garrison also emerged as a leading advocate of women's rights, which prompted a split in the abolitionist community. 

In the 1870s, Garrison became a prominent voice for the women's suffrage movement.

William Lloyd Garrison/Quotes



I am in earnest - I will not equivocate - I will not excuse - I will not retreat a single inch - and I will be heard!

I will be as harsh as truth and as uncompromising as justice.

Our country is the world--our countrymen are mankind.

With reasonable men, I will reason; with humane men I will plead; but to tyrants I will give no quarter, nor waste arguments where they will certainly be lost.

Enslave the liberty of but one human being and the liberties of the world are put in peril.

Are right and wrong convertible terms, dependant upon popular opinion?

Wherever there is a human being, I see God-given rights inherent in that being, whatever may be the sex or complexion.

That which is not just is not law.

We may be personally defeated, but our principles never!

The apathy of the people is enough to make every statue leap from its pedestal and hasten the resurrection of the dead.

5 RULES FOR WHEN NEWS ABOUT MUELLER REPORT COMES OUT. by Neal Katyal

5 RULES FOR WHEN NEWS ABOUT MUELLER REPORT COMES OUT. 
1. Believe only the text of the Report, not others’ characterizations of it. This WH in particular spins “up” as “down” (like the Nunes documents).

2. Ask what the scope of the Report is. Is it just conspiracy with Russia? Does it include, for example, the campaign finance allegations, where federal SDNY prosecutors have said the President ordered the commission of felonies?

It’s almost never happened in American history that federal Prosecutors have said a sitting President orchestrated the commission of felonies.

3. Examine whether the Report is limited to criminal acts. Some of the most egregious allegations against Trump, like lying to the American people about his business dealings with Russia before the 2016 election and saying he had no biz in Russia, are not necessarily criminal.

Others, like being beholden to the Kremlin out of self interest, may be. Has Mueller only resolved the latter? If not, expect Congress to be taking all of that up.

4. Ask whether Mueller has actually resolved anything. Has he said there are other avenues to investigate for matters within the scope of his Report, such as a sit-down interview with Trump? Again, Congress may investigate further — but also don’t forget about state prosecutors.

5. Ask yourself, if the American people knew in 2016 what Mueller’s Report says,even if the Report says Mueller won’t indict the President, Trump would have won the election. Does this President have the judgment&transparency appropriate to serve as the nation’s highest official?

Don’t focus on the one-line spin. Focus on the facts, judgments, and limitations in the Mueller Report.

And ask yourself, if Trump had just been honest and forthcoming about all of this, we could have spared this long ordeal.
