Mark Grantham (artist, Nova Scotia) was a neighbour of mine in Halifax, and he's a wonderful soul. He and his partner were assaulted while out. They are both independent artists, and have suffered some pretty significant injuries.
Please give if you can.

With attacks on speedboats in the Caribbean Sea, President Trump has ordered the summary execution of people who may not have committed the crime of which he accused them, the editorial board says. “It is a violation of legal due process that should alarm all Americans.”

Opinion | No President Should Have This Kind of Power

Even if the allegations are correct, blowing up the boats is a lawless exercise in the use of deadly force.

As happened to the artworks of many historic female artists, this work by French painter Marie-Denise Villers -Young Woman Drawing, 1801 - was wrongly attributed to a male artist before being truely recognised.....

Painting of a woman sitting while in the of drawing, the subject is looking outwards, she wears a white dress and has fair hair, she sits in an interior with a window behind her, through which, in the distance a couple can be seen by a white building
