What we know about Alex Pretti, the ICU nurse shot and killed in Minneapolis
For another individual to be gunned down in the street by ICE agents is appalling. Among the alphabet soup of government organizations that need to be abolished, ICE ranks among the highest. There is no reason for Alex Pretti to be dead right now. As a law-abiding citizen of the United States of America, he was exterminated because of his own individualism. The fact he had a right to carry a firearm shows that the Second Amendment only applies to only a few.

The Architecture of the Empty. Content Warning.
"In a world increasingly obsessed with 'hollow thinking' where people are reduced to units and human dignity is phased out of the budget the act of creation becomes a form of resistance. This piece was born from a week of rigid rules and 'authoritarian bull shit,' but it ends in the only place the parasites cannot reach: the sanctuary of the imagination.

The Right’s Loud Romance With Violence and Fascism
For decades, American conservatives have warned about the “moral decline” of the United States. Sometimes those warnings sounded sincere. I remember the Terri Schiavo case, when many conservatives framed the removal of a feeding tube as a profound moral failure. You could argue some of that outrage was politically convenient, but it was at least plausible that many of the people involved genuinely believed life was sacred and violence, broadly defined as merely ending a human life (even out of medical mercy), was wrong.

Trump Backs Down Over Tariffs and Greenland.
Trump caused panic, worry, anger, and frustration when he threatened his European partners with tariffs because they would not support him in his plan to take over Greenland. Trump wanted to buy Greenland from Denmark, or he would use force, or so it seemed to take it. Trump threatened his opponents with 10% tariffs if they did not acquiesce to his Greenland adventure, or should that be misadventure? These were to start from 1 February and would rise to 25% if those nations that opposed him did not give in.
