CBP chief Bovino has confirmed that the officers who executed Alex Pretti in the street yesterday are not only *not on administrative leave,* they have all been reassigned to other jurisdictions and are all on the street today.
This is totally unheard of for any officer-involved shooting

Minneapolis protester as he's being brutalized by feds: "You're gonna have to kill me! You're gonna have to kill me! I've done nothing wrong! My name is Matthew James! I'm a US citizen! You're gonna kill me! Is that what you want?" (You can hear his wife screaming)

Competent law enforcement officers can defuse situations involving potentially dangerous individuals. They are trained for this, and they understand it is their job.
ICE seems to be the exact opposite: escalating situations to the point of killing peaceful individuals.

"In a time of rising populism and ethnic nationalism, Canada can show how diversity is a strength, not a weakness... Canada can't solve all the world's problems. But we can show that another way is possible. That the arc of history isn't destined to be warped toward authoritarianism".

We are Christopher Isherwood, watching the increasingly alarming scenes in the Berlin street below from our apartment window above.
This video filmed by Ben Luhmann shows the moment a federal agent sprayed chemical irritants directly into a man's face in south Minneapolis.
Three agents already had the man pinned to the ground when a fourth agent walked up and sprayed the irritants.

Už když 16.6.2015 Trump sjel po zlatém eskalátoru v Trump Tower, oznámil kandidaturu na prezidenta a prohlásil, že zastaví příliv “rapists” do USA, mi bylo jasné, že je špatný člověk, naprosto nevhodný pro tuto funkci. Od té doby jedeme z kopce a teď už se Trump úplně zbláznil. 1/2

For this post to be about the United States and not Russia shows that there has been an absolute diplomatic revolution.
I spoke to the Secretary-General of NATO, Emmanuel Macron, Keir Starmer, Friedrich Merz and Giorgia Meloni.
Together we stand firm in our commitment to uphold the sovereignty of Greenland and the Kingdom of Denmark.

2026 is seeing that the U.S. Army is mobilizing a unit specialized for winter conditions, but not knowing if the intended mission is violent repression of an American city or stealing territory from a U.S. treaty ally.

Miltonův Ztracený ráj jako by lákal k překládání do češtiny vždy jednou za sto let. Roku 1811 Jungmannův, v roce 1909 J. J. Davida a loni přibyl překlad Martina Hilského.

Miltonův Ztracený ráj nalezený v moderním překladu Martina Hilského
Rozsáhlá epická báseň Ztracený ráj byla poprvé publikována roku 1667. Autor díla, John Milton (1608−1674), byl v té době zcela slepý – v noci si do paměti ukládal verše, které ráno diktoval zapisovatelům, v závěru své třetí manželce.

Oh wow. Trump got a hand-me-down Nobel Peace Prize! Did you know:
It would not be the first time a Nobel laureate has given his or her medal away: in 1943 Nobel Literature laureate Knut Hamsun gave his medal to Nazi propaganda minister Joseph Goebbels.
