Regrann from @nasa - What’s up for April in the night sky? This month, you won’t want to miss red Mars and golden Saturn in the south-southeast sky. By April 7, the Moon joins the pair and if you’re in a dark area, you may see some glow from the nearby Milky Way.

@Regrann from @nimblenews - No one knows exactly who wrote the lyrics, but the melody came from the song 'Good Morning to All,' attributed to American sisters Patty and Mildred Hill.

@Regrann from @history - On #ThisDayinHistory 1967, Thurgood Marshall becomes the first African American to be confirmed as a Supreme Court justice. He would remain on the Supreme Court for 24 years before retiring for health reasons, leaving a legacy of upholding the rights of the individual as guaranteed by the U.S. Constitution. After graduating from Lincoln University in 1930, Marshall sought admission to the University of Maryland School of Law, but was turned away because of the school’s segregation policy, which effectively forbade blacks from studying with whites. Instead, Marshall attended Howard University Law School, from which he graduated magna cum laude in 1933. (Marshall later successfully sued Maryland School of Law for their unfair admissions policy.) As a lawyer, Marshall distinguished himself as one of the country’s leading advocates for individual rights, winning 29 of the 32 cases he argued in front of the Supreme Court, all of which challenged in some way the ‘separate but equal’ doctrine that had been established by the 1896 landmark case Plessy v. Ferguson. The high-water mark of Marshall’s career as a litigator came in 1954 with his victory in Brown v. Board of Education of Topeka. In that case, Marshall argued that the ‘separate but equal’ principle was unconstitutional, and designed to keep blacks “as near [slavery] as possible.” In 1961, Marshall was appointed by then-President John F. Kennedy to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit, a position he held until 1965, when Kennedy’s successor, Lyndon B. Johnson, named him solicitor general. Following the retirement of Justice Tom Clark in 1967, President Johnson appointed Marshall to the Supreme Court, a decision confirmed by the Senate with a 69-11 vote. #ThurgoodMarshall #SCOTUS #history #legalhistory #ushistory

The other side of the story... @Regrann from @time - "It humbled me a whole lot, just seeing how a picture like that can reveal so much," said officer Darius Nash during an Aug. 14 portrait session with @ruddyroye in #Charlottesville. Two days earlier, a picture of Nash patrolling a KKK rally in July had found new online momentum as the Virginia college town erupted over a rally of white nationalists, neo-Nazis and Klansmen. The image was shared widely online, with some of those who did so appearing to think it was made that day.⠀ ⠀ In the uncomfortable haze of live breaking news it became the latest in a long line of photographs to be grabbed and shared without credit or context. Social networks are now minefields for information-gatherers. Photographers lose control of their work while those who rip and share it can reap the rewards: retweets, likes, followers. Images are separated from their intended meaning, and can even take on a new one. Nash, a school resource officer at Charlottesville High School, told Roye "it also brought my family closer in that they were able to see what I and other officers have to go through on a daily basis."⠀ ⠀ Read the full story about the viral photo and the search for the photographer on TIME.com.⠀ ⠀ Photograph by @ruddyroye for TIME

@Regrann from @time - The officer stands calmly as a group of white supremacists act out behind him. The provocative scene one Saturday afternoon in #Charlottesville, shot with an iPhone, was shared online with a modest public following but would attract a wide audience. "A picture worth a thousand words," one commenter wrote on Aug. 12, 2017. "A black police officer protecting a group of men who wish him harm. Incredible,” wrote another, prefacing that remark with a question common during breaking news: “Who took this photo?” And when was it taken?⠀ ⠀ The picture went viral in recent days as the Virginia college town was rocked by unrest over the planned “Unite the Right” rally. As intense images emerged of the street clashes between white nationalists, neo-Nazis and Klansmen who faced off against counterprotesters, this one stood out. But as the retweets entered into the tens of thousands, doubts emerged that this image was from Saturday. In the uncomfortable haze of live breaking news it became the latest in a long line of images to be grabbed and shared online without credit or context.⠀ ⠀ And so began a search for the photographer, a hunt that started on Twitter and wound through Google, Reddit and Facebook until stopping on Instagram, where it appeared on the feed of Jill Mumie (@lil_mooms). That's where the story behind this photo begins.⠀ ⠀ Read an interview with the photographer and the officer in the picture on TIME.com.⠀ ⠀ Photograph by Jill Mumie (@lil_mooms)
