I found it online, I wasn't the first one to see it. I'm not sure the original source but almost sure it was a news agency. Thanks for sharing the painting!

This painting is fabulous!
And thank you!

Good morning! I'm in Uganda to visit family and friends.

But depending on your perspective, don't worry or I'm sorry: I'll be back by the end of the month.

See you soon, NYC.

There exists no mathematical universe where people in the US without a visa contribute more than 2% of the total violent crime in the United States. It's in no way proportionate to the violence of ICE in our communities.

This is all lies.

Hello 👋🏾

And the slow enunciation while shouting their compliment in my ear.

Do children have a right to exist?
Do human beings have a right to eat without bomb strikes?
Do people have a right not to be starved?

With the updated RCV totals just released by the Board of Elections, our campaign has officially earned the most total votes in a primary in New York City history.

Cruz Seen Vacationing in Greece After Deaths Recorded in Texas Floods One witness confronted Cruz at the Parthenon, asking, “20 kids dead in Texas and you take a vacation?”…

Although it was well known by July 4 and 5 that the floods were catastrophic, Ted Cruz remained in Greece, sightseeing at, among other places, the Parthenon. “As he walked past us, I simply said, ’20 kids dead in Texas and you take a vacation?’”

a couple of hours before my keynote, I went through an intense negotiation with the organisers (for over a hour) where we went through my slides and had to remove anything that mentions 'Palestine' 'Israel' and replace 'genocide' with 'war crimes'

Do children have a right to exist without being burned alive?
Do women, and men, and teenagers have a right to fall asleep without being bombed?
Do people have a right to food without being shot by tanks and drones and mercenaries and soldiers?
Do human beings have a right to exist?

Years before Auschwitz, there was Dachau and while the Nazis were jailing and torturing their enemies, Hitler was talking about peace and not wanting any wars. As he invaded the Rhineland and shut down newspapers and clamped down on society, he was telling Germans he would keep them safe.

This is an attack on education and health, on knowledge and well-being, on the ability to think for yourself and have the strength to resist fascism. It is an effort to destroy your interior and private life beginning with your public access to specific freedoms and rights.

Biniam Girmay!

Read the new habeas petition at Law Dork.

Not yet! But they're great. Enjoy Rome!

Nobody has covered this, but this #GradPLUS cap is going to cause some #medicalschool to close, including some that just opened. I'm thinking schools in more rural areas, like satellite campuses of Michigan State and Medical College of Wisconsin in northern MI or central WI

Snazzy glasses 🥸

I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE.

This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined.

It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.

Italy to issue half million non-EU work visas over next three years The move is part of a strategy to expand legal immigration channels in response to labor shortages.

I had to read this twice to believe it...Meloni, who ran for office on an anti-immigration platform, has now announced plans to let in hundreds of thousands of immigrants, in order to deal with the Italian labor shortage

BREAKING: Zeteo has released, globally, the film the BBC so controversially refused to air.

"Gaza: Doctors Under Attack" is now available to watch in full at gazadoctors.film and zeteo.com.

Here's the trailer:

Everyone thinks of 1944 auschwitz and not 1933 Dachau. It didn't start as extermination camps. It's a process to get there and one the Trump administration is starting now.

The alarm is real but $200 billion is not correct.

The bill gives $170.7 billion in immigration-related funding to be spent through Sept. 30, 2029, of which $75 billion goes directly to ICE, including $45 billion for detention. A $3.5 billion fund to states could be used for some detention too.

AOC: Trump has insisted that this bill does not cut Medicaid. He has also said he doesn’t think I’m a smart person. It doesn’t take a smart person to know when you are being lied to. President Trump, you are either being lied to, or you are lying to the American people.

Pardoned Jan. 6 Rioter Who Threatened Police Joins Justice Dept.

Chance that this guy—who onJan 6 told other rioters who were attacking law enforcement officers, “Kill ’em! Kill ’em! Kill ’em!”—could get a security clearance in normal times:

Zero.

Blood money.
Someone I knew, like another sibling/son in our family, was a pilot on one of those flights. Boeing lied from beginning, using racist arguments. Repugnant.

Boeing negligence killed people, flight after flight. Lie after lie.

“Is all this horror for us?” Abu Sultan muses. “It’s hard to believe that all this firepower in the sky is reserved for civilian families whose only concern is to save their children from bombardment and feed them so they don’t die of hunger.”

Never even made it on TV in most countries. There is definitely a concerted effort to hide the fact that the majority of the world absolutely hates this genocide
