The only comment I’m making on the current situation unfolding in the United States is the following.
If I saw a young mother stealing nappies for her one year old.
No I didn’t.
A child was killed after an officer fired upon a vehicle following a reported shoplifting at a Walmart in Mississippi, authorities said. https://t.co/1VGa7XrDbi
A 1-year-old in Mississippi was shot and killed by police after a cop opened fire on a vehicle involved in an alleged shoplifting incident at a Walmart. An adult was also critically wounded.
A witness says they saw 2 women leaving the store with an infant, Kohen Kartier Wiley, and a box of diapers. Relatives deny that Wiley's mother and aunt were shoplifting, with some saying they had a digital receipt on a phone.
This is a national tragedy.
The officers knew about Kohen Kartier Wiley being in the car before they opened fire.
Firing into a moving vehicle in a crowded parking lot over a non-violent offense is both criminally reckless and completely unjustified.
RIP Kohen Kartier Wiley
USA. A breakfast counter. The waitress recommended the biscuits and gravy, and when the plate arrived, I thought something had gone wrong in the kitchen.
I say this with shame. The dish looked like a construction site after rain. Pale mounds. Gray ladle-fall. Speckles I could not identify.
In my land, the eye eats first. A meal is arranged like a garden. This meal was arranged like weather.
"Is it… finished?" I asked, carefully.
"Honey, that's what it looks like."
The man beside me was already eating his. He did not look up. "Just try it."
I am a man who has charged hillsides at dawn. I raised the fork. I tried it.
I must now formally apologize to the biscuits, the gravy, the waitress, the kitchen, and the entire breakfast tradition of the American South.
It was magnificent. Warm. Peppered. The biscuit drank the gravy the way a field drinks rain — THAT is why it is shaped like that, you fool — and every mound I had insulted was a soft fold of comfort that my homeland, in eight hundred years, never once thought to invent.
"Well?" the waitress asked.
"I judged it," I confessed. "By its appearance. I am ashamed."
"Everybody does, hon."
Everybody does. A national dish that forgives you for doubting it. It expects the doubt. It waits for you on the other side of it.
Do not judge the gravy by its face. Judge yourself, for hesitating.
I order it every Saturday now. I no longer see the construction site. I see only the garden.
It was a garden the whole time. The eye must be trained.
The artist behind this painting, Criselda Vasquez, painted this portrait of her parents in 2017. The man in this painting, her father, was recently taken by ICE. He has lived in the United States for forty years. This loss has made it hard for the family to support themselves. If you want to support them, you can go to their GoFundMe here:

We received a request from the United States for specific support in protection against "shaheds" in the Middle East region. I gave instructions to provide the necessary means and ensure the presence of Ukrainian specialists who can guarantee the required security. Ukraine helps partners who help ensure our security and protect the lives of our people. Glory to Ukraine!
Like its painfully obvious that everyone just signed on to this to ensure the system keeps working as intended even if the actual logic is virtually nonexistent
This is so niche, but reading the Urias-Orellana opinion feels like I was transported into an alternate reality where words dont mean what they mean and everyone is brain-damaged
The U.S. administration did not send a single representative to the official commemoration events marking the anniversary of Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine, nor did it issue a single word through its embassy in Kyiv -- not even a standard diplomatic boilerplate.
This is all just tragic at this point.
A federal judge from West Virginia concluded that when U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers use masks and unmarked cars for arrests, it breaches the Fourth Amendment of the Constitution, removing accountability and undermining due process.

"I want to underpay healthcare workers"
* CNAs & sitters deserve a pay raise
* RNs deserve a pay raise
* Techs of all flavors deserve a pay raise
* Residents deserve a pay raise
* Primary care, pediatrics, OB/GYN, etc deserve to be paid more than they currently are
A 23-year-old U.S. citizen was shot and killed by an ICE HSI agent on South Padre Island on March 15, 2025, and officials did not initially reveal ICE’s involvement.
The shooting only recently came to light after internal records were obtained.
