"They came for him in the garden. They took him out of his chair. The instrument lay on the lawn like a dead bone. I made certain inquiries; he is dead now. And it was even more terrible—they came and sat down and listened until the rehearsal was over. And then they took him. It is as though they wished to take him at exactly the moment when he was most beautiful. I know how you feel—but I tell you nothing any longer is forbidden. Nothing."

I convinced them no harm would come to them; I brought them to my castle; we all lived together. The oboist was twenty, twenty-one—the heart stopped when he played certain tones.

'It was only when the Obama administration struck the 2015 nuclear deal with Iran that the United States got a fuller picture of its capabilities, thanks to the work of inspectors. And those inspections were choked off — and many security cameras disabled — after Mr. Trump declared the nuclear accord a “disaster” and withdrew from it.
Tehran’s reaction was to scale up centrifuge production, enrich uranium at levels only weapons states need, and stonewall the I.A.E.A.'

2. Foreign Affairs, Ilan Goldenberg:
‘Iran’s other significant retaliatory capability is its fleet of small boats, which when dispersed are difficult to defeat and could start dropping mines in the Strait of Hormuz or attempting suicide bombing attacks against U.S. ships. This course of action could block roughly one third of the world’s oil trade, causing a spike in prices that could set off a global recession.

"I want to know who they are. And just like we once saw at Nuremberg and in courtrooms from Tel Aviv to Cleveland, I want the worst offenders to face judgment for what they have done. Because right now, the American Experiment is going off the deep end, and it’s going to be a long swim back not only to save democracy, but to reclaim our humanity. "

"Think about it. There’s a reason those ICE agents hastily pulled masks over their faces before they handcuffed a stunned and shrieking Rumeysa Ozturk and threw her into a van. They understand enough about the moral consequences surrounding their actions to know they don’t want decent citizens to know who they are.

"The sword of justice should someday come for the likes of Noem or immigration czar Tom Homan, who sees no problem in sending an innocent man into a gulag and who presides over the system that rounded up a mother and her three children in his hometown of Sacketts Harbor, N.Y., before his neighbors united in protest.

"I want to know who these people are, because they are wantonly committing human rights violations in my name and yours. Because when all this nonsense is over — and I swear that one day it will be, at the ballot box or in the streets or by any means necessary, even though I might not live to see it — I want more than just people feeling ashamed of their role in this spree of inhumanity.

Senator Cory Booker has held the Senate floor for over 14 hours now.
“He didn’t tell us he was going to do all these things. He promised to lower your grocery prices—they’re higher. He promised, “I’ll be a better steward of the economy”—it’s worse than when he inherited it. Over and over, he’s breaking promises and doing outrageous things.”

Just makes you wonder: Is Trump, Heritage, et al trying to force an economic collapse–force Americans into poverty, immiseration like this..?
Remember, Biden handed over a strong, burgeoning, enviable economy to Trump in January. And in 3 short months, Trump - Musk - Heritage have fired civil servants, prices up, tariffs are taxes on consumers. It feels sinister.

“When Chancellor Heinrich Brüning’s government declared a long bank holiday on July 13, 1931, after a run on the banks following the collapse of the Darmstädter and Nationalbank, the economic crisis began to hit home. There was a “9% salary reduction” for civil servants [..] and higher value-added taxes for consumers"

4. The Nov. 1 collapse of a concrete canopy suspended over the station’s entrances crushed the people below it and triggered the snowballing protest movement, which was driven by a belief that official negligence and graft were responsible for the tragedy. The station was renovated by a consortium of state-owned Chinese companies, and work on the canopy was carried out by a private Serbian contractor that had been promoted by officials.
