Alma Allen, un artiste inconnu pour représenter les Etats-Unis à la Biennale de Venise
Le sculpteur autodidacte a un profil décalé par rapport aux artistes choisis d’ordinaire pour cette manifestation. Le département d’Etat avait exigé un travail célébrant les valeurs américaines, et exclu toute œuvre promouvant diversité, équité et inclusion.

I wish I didn’t have to share this. But the BBC has decided to censor my first Reith Lecture.
They deleted the line in which I describe Donald Trump as “the most openly corrupt president in American history.” /1

“One experiment suggests the Danish social democrats did indeed win over voters from right wing parties with the anti-asylum crackdown – but lost just as many voters to their left by doing so.
“The reason this allowed them to stay in power was Denmark’s proportional system.”
“The reason this allowed them to stay in power was Denmark’s proportional system.”
Denmark’s asylum policy isn’t the answer
A harsh, intrusive Danish-style immigration system won’t win right wing votes for Labour and will enrage the party’s traditional supporters. When will this government learn?

trump is having a temper tantrum, ending ALL trade negotiations with Canada.
He's butthurt that they aired an ad of President Reagan that shows how dumb trump's tariffs are.
It's VERY effective.
Be a shame if it went viral. 🇺🇲🇨🇦

It was a beautiful Sunday in Portland. Farmer’s markets, the Portland Marathon, peaceful protests, and some views of Mt. Hood. This city is vibrant, peaceful, and resilient. We do not need a federal occupation, and we sure as hell don’t want one.

Heart-wrenching words by the son of Mario Guevara.
Lost amid headlines: ICE has failed to protect Mario in detention, resulting in his family being extorted for cash.
He may be deported any moment. We may not stop it. But his story will continue. We must keep telling it.
