The doc, known as the Interim National Defense Strategic Guidance & marked “secret/no foreign national” in most passages, was distributed throughout the #Defense Dept in mid-March & signed by #Hegseth. It outlines, in broad & partisan detail, the execution of #Trump’s vision to prepare for & win a potential #war against #China & defend the #UnitedStates from threats in the “near abroad,” including #Greenland & the #PanamaCanal.

The #legal #rights people have if #ICE stops them

A sense of anxiety is gripping noncitizen residents of the #UnitedStates.

The 2nd #Trump admin kicked off w/a shock-&-awe effort aimed at arresting & deporting many immigrants without legal status. But stories are now emerging of both longtime legal permanent residents & visa holders being detained by ICE & other #immigration *officers*.

The Imperialism Has no Clothes (excerpts) - Timothy Snyder.

Thoughts on USA, Greenland and Denmark.

" We are the only ones ever to have invoked Article 5, the mutual defense obligation of the NATO treaty, after 9/11; and our European allies did respond. Per capita more Danish soldiers were killed in the Afghan war than were American soldiers. Do we remember them? Thank them?"

Da, who's a professor at Tsinghua University in Beijing, lives in a country where expression is limited, especially on sensitive topics. But American specialists in #China have found him a useful interlocutor, offering a window into the thinking inside the #UnitedStates' great geopolitical rival.

Here's what he had to say about shifting #US #ForeignPolicy approaches & how changes may benefit China.

Da Wei, a Chinese scholar who studies the #UnitedStates shares opinions about how the early moves of the second #Trump admin help #China.

Da Wei spoke w/NPR last year. He told us then that his decades of studying China's rival gave him some idea of what made America strong, including a "mature political system," stable institutions & immigration, among other things.

Now the US has a new president, so we asked to meet Da Wei again.

Zapatos Rojos
Red Shoes

#ZapatosRojos or #RedShoes is an art project realized by the Mexican artist #ElinaChauvet. It deals with a city route which consists in lots of pairs of red or red-painted shoes to commemorate the many cases of #ViolenceAgainstWomen in the whole world. In particular, her first work was realized in #CiudadJuarez, the border city between #Mexico and the #UnitedStates, where for the first time it was used the expression “ #femicide ”.

👠

Pairs of different kinds of red shoes - pumps, sandals, boots, sneakers - arranged on the pavement. One pair of boots has a single red rose.
