Who are these two men? They are Marcus Harvey and Tre Jones from Marion, Indiana. They should have been all over the news but they weren't...
Some time ago they saw a house fully engulfed in flames with people still inside.
So they kicked in the front door and risked their own lives to save the occupants inside.
None of the occupants would still be alive if it wasn’t for them.
Neither one gave a second thought about anybody’s color, they just did what was right.
These are the heroes the media tends to not show us.

@salltweets @JustineLattimer Millions of women with no experience of endometriosis would never dream of taking on this role.

@SamaHoole Interesting! My Dad and his Sister were small children in Amsterdam during the occupation and nearly starved to death. Yet they both grew up to be tall (6 ft 4 and 6 ft 2).

In the mid-1800s, the average Dutch man was 5'4".
Shorter than the average American. Shorter than most of their European neighbours.
Today the average Dutch man is 6'0". The tallest national population on earth.
That is a 20-centimetre transformation in about 150 years.
One of the fastest documented height increases in human history.
What drove it? Researchers are consistent: dairy. Meat. High-quality animal protein at scale, democratised across the population as prosperity spread.
The Netherlands is a dairy farming country. It always was. What changed was that ordinary people, not just the wealthy, could access what the land produced.
The Dutch didn't get taller because of a new crop.
They got taller because of a cow.

🚨🇦🇺 Greens Senator Mehreen Faruqi, who came from Pakistan, stood in Parliament and attacked 'you white people' for speaking English as their first language.
She complained that everything is in English, even though Australia’s main language is English.
If she hates it so much, why stay? Go back to speaking Urdu in Pakistan.

@lady_valor_07 Was shocked when I moved to Western Australia in the late 90s and all the Shopping Malls were closed on Sunday.
