14,000 Free Images from the French Revolution Now Available Online It’s often said that the French Revolution (1789-1799) created the “blueprint” for all revolutions to come. Unlike any event before it, the Revolution drew its strength from ideology — an ideology that turned on the belief that France had created a radical break with its monarchical past, and would now radically re-organize itself along egalitarian and democratic lines. To drive this message home, the revolutionaries produced thousands of pamphlets and political works of art. What’s more, they created a new revolutionary calendar and a series of revolutionary festivals that helped give cultural expression to the idea that France had entered a new political age. More than a century later, the Russian revolutionaries would use the French blueprint and all cultural tools at their disposal to promote its Marxist ideals. Above you can see one image celebrating a founding document of the Revolution — 1789’s Les droits de l’homme et du citoyen (The Rights of Man and Citizen). via Hyperallergic

Trump talte til den amerikanske nation dagen efter frifindelsen i rigsretssagen – her er, hvad han sagde Derfor bringer Berlingske præsident Trumps tale – uforkortet USAs præsident, Donald Trump, undgik forleden den skæbne at blive fjernet fra sit embede. Men afstemningen i Senatet udstillede, hvor splittende en figur Trump er: Med undtagelse af den republikanske senator Mitt Romney blev rigsretssagen afgjort langs de samme linjer, som skiller demokrater og republikanere. Situationen i Amerika er følgende: De, der er for Trump, er bandsat for ham. Når præsident Trump ikke vil give formanden for Repræsentanternes Hus, Nancy Pelosi, hånden, som tilfældet var før Trumps State of The Union-tale forleden nat, og når Pelosi efter talen rev den i stykker bag præsidentens ryg, da er det tegn på et demokrati, som trænger til et lægebesøg. Torsdag efter frifindelsen i rigsretssagen stillede Trump sig op i 75-80 minutter og talte til sine støtter. Men samtidig har vi besluttet her at bringe hvert ord, den amerikanske præsident sagde ved denne begivenhed, ufiltreret og direkte oversat. Og vi vandt jo.
