I just remember when the roof of Notre-Dame de Paris was on fire and how every Western leader became a cultural expert and lamented the damage and how everyone donated money to rebuild it.

I am having a hard time finding a single article in any European or American publication about this.

ICE locked up a deaf kid without his hearing aidsβ€”and wouldn't let him have them back Rep. Eric Swalwell is working to help the family seek humanitarian parole.

β€œThink about that for a moment: a six-year-old child with a disability suddenly in a different country, separated from the country he has come to know, now surrounded by silence. The horror stories from this White House continue from ICE.”

Investigators say there are undisclosed detention sites scattered around Colorado, hidden in plain sight between strip malls and office parks.

After the bombs and missiles shatter bodies and buildings, the survivors are left without clean water, food and infrastructure to support their daily lives. Of course Trump's war poses public health risks.

The bombing of Iranian children is an unforgivable crime America has blood on its hands.

New in PN: The bombing of Iranian children is an unforgivable crime

"American disinterest in the lives of people abroad is a resource politicians use to justify cynical wars. It's hard to see on what moral grounds we claim a right to decide the fate of those about whom we clearly care so little."

9 days in, the most basic question about the Iran war remains unanswered In just over a week, Trump and top administration officials have given at least 17 different responses about why the war began

Think we may have lost the moral high ground when it comes to dispensing refugee advice to other countries.
More broadly, the US has been simultaneously telling Europe it is destroying itself by accepting refugees from the Middle East, and also setting the scene for the next refugee criss.
