Bonsai apple tree growing a full-sized apple.
A perfect balance of extremely impressive and completely ridiculous.
Apple trees are DETERMINED. My parents planted a twig of an apple tree, and that first year it grew one apple. And the whole thing was bent over from the weight of it. It had one job and by God it was gonna do it.
she did such a good job I’m so proud
I can’t believe that wee little thing grew a whole apple as big as itself!

Law never made men a whit more just; and, by means of their respect for it, even the well-disposed are daily made the agents of injustice.

On this day, 31 May 1921, one of the worst single incidents of racial violence in US history took place: the Tulsa race riot, which left 300 dead after a false allegation of a black man attacking a white woman. The Tulsa Tribune newspaper contained a front page article entitled “Nab Negro for Attacking Girl in Elevator,” and a back page editorial entitled, “To Lynch Negro Tonight.” Local whites were inflamed, and they attacked the black community of Greenwood, at the time the most prosperous African-American community in the US, commonly known as the “Black Wall Street”. The white mob murdered hundreds and razed the entire 35 block area to the ground, making up to 10,000 homeless. There are a few survivors alive today, who still await justice and reparations.

On this day, 10 March 1952, Fulgencio Batista led a coup in Cuba and appointed himself President. Backed by the US, business and the wealthy elite, his government killed thousands in anti-Communist purges. He was eventually overthrown by the revolution in 1959. https://ift.tt/2Hcyiyi

One aspect of the U.S. trade war against China is its attack on the high-tech company Huawei and its 5G wireless network. The globally organized campaign against Huawei by the U.S. represents an effort to stifle Chinese technological development. It is also an attempt to impose strategic military hegemony.
