This Art Deco masterpiece in Toulouse, France, the “Immeuble de La Dépêche,” 1927 by the famous French architect Léon Jaussely.
The building was going to be the newspaper’s headquarters of the time. To reflect this mission, the famous mosaic artists Alphonse Gentil and François Bourdet made this eye-catching female figure that covers the building’s front.
She is wrapped in a dress in shades of blue, and rays of sunlight spread out from around her head.
This mosaic represents “News/the Press and Enlightenment.” On the sun rays and cloud patterns around it, the newspaper’s headlines, topics and news categories of that time are worked in.
So the building is a tribute to its original purpose: the power of the press and of spreading information.

Minnesota Republicans are running campaign ads linking Somalis to crime, fraud, and violence.
Meanwhile, Minnesota has witnessed some of the most horrific acts of violence in recent memory, including the murder of young children at Annunciation Catholic School and the assassination of former House Speaker Melissa Hortman and her husband.
Both crimes were committed by white individuals.
And Minnesota's biggest fraud scandal, Feeding Our Future, was led by a white woman.
Yet nobody is running campaign ads blaming white Minnesotans for those crimes.
And rightly so.
When politicians turn the crimes of individuals into an indictment of an entire ethnic community, they're revealing far more about themselves than about the people they're attacking.
Keep running those ads. We see exactly what you're doing. And we won't forget it.
Elections come and go. Politicians rise and fall. The political attacks will eventually fade.
But Somalis will still be here. And we will come out of this stronger, more united, more organized, more politically aware, and more determined than ever to stand up for ourselves and shape our own future.

Alex Pretti's mother: The federal government went on TV and lied about Alex. They tried to slander Alex to cover up their crime. We want to clear our son's name, and the world to understand who Alex really was. We want our son's killers brought to justice once and for all. We are begging for the Department of Justice to hold the men who murdered our son accountable for what they did.

To recap— Obama clowned Trump’s decorating taste, and they tried to turn it into an attack on the common man whose affordability concerns Trump is belittling as he crushes farmers and workers with a pointless war of choice to build himself a giant ballroom and pockets billions🤷🏼
Ecclesiastical complicity…
NEW via me and @AlejaCorazonHM: *Multiple* bishops now suggesting/outright claiming they were "manipulated" by White House staffers into the recent viral Oval Office prayer video.
Another says they were "assured that no photographs would be made public." religionnews.com/2026/10/26/…
