“Never think that war, no matter how necessary, nor how justified, is not a crime. Ask the infantry and ask the dead.”

One of the hidden benefits of reading old books is that they rescue you from the arrogance of the present.

This is the same kind of behavior that led to the murder of two American citizens.

Trump’s violent goon squad is out of control. We need to completely clean house and rebuild from the bottom.

▶️ Un video viral captó el tenso momento en que un agente de Inmigración y Control de Aduanas (ICE) apunta con un arma de fuego hacia Carolina Molina, una conductora de 24 años, durante un encuentro en Falls Church, Virginia.

Molina, quien trabaja realizando evaluaciones psicológicas para casos de inmigración, relató que se acercó a agentes que arrestaban a dos hombres para decirles que consideraba que su accionar era incorrecto.

Minutos después, al regresar a la zona, los agentes bloquearon su vehículo y un agente la acusó de haberlos "casi atropellado", amenazándola con arrestarla y apuntándole con su arma a través de la ventanilla.

La conductora asegura que los agentes mintieron sobre el peligro que ella representó y que, al mencionar que tenía un video de dashcam, los agentes la dejaron ir sin detenerla ni pedirle que bajara del vehículo.

Emily Wilson, whose 2017 translation of the Odyssey Christopher Nolan drew on for his new film, has brought Homer back from antiquity. One of the most celebrated translators in the world, she is reviving a fading academic discipline and shining with a harsh and brilliant light in the humanities’ gathering gloom. “The ancient Greeks teach one to be modern,” the poet and classicist A. E. Stallings observed. “They taught that to me and to Emily. It was time to strip away all the mannered layers—the tarnish of centuries—and she does that. Her translations have the freshness of the sky after a storm. Read Judith Thurman’s 2023 profile of the translator: https://t.co/4c9tma8Cdq
