For civil rights analysts, what the First Step Act gives doesn’t make up for what President Trump has taken away.

People worked hard long before there was a thing called the “work ethic,” much less a “Protestant work ethic.” The phrase itself emerged early in the twentieth century and has since congealed into a cliché.

Passing the baton....

Ah, Rivalry Week. A time to reminisce on how much the Philadelphia Flyers suck. These jabs are all in good fun, of course. Most of the time.

Today, we’re going to re-examine the tweet that has defined a generation... and became a meme in the process.

I’m talking about when Sidney Crosby passed the baton.

In a since-deleted tweet from Flyers reporter Sam Carchidi during the 2012 playoff series between the Flyers and Penguins... Читать дальше...
