The pigeon toes. The earnest crossing guard hand. The way his other arm, holding the camera, is tucked into his side. The way he stands before the threat, looking over his shoulder at the wellbeing of another. The brown, the beige, the hat. One humble soul. Here is another Tiananmen Square.

Did you know you can nominate people for the Nobel Peace Prize?
Some thoughts:
1. The deadline for nominating a person or group for the Nobel Peace Prize is Feb. 1.
2. History professors are qualified nominators.
3. The people of Minnesota have been awe-inspiringly peaceful in the face of state violence.
4. He would be so mad.

Good point. Trump has convinced his cult that he is “America First.” He is Trump First - and that means seeking out corrupt leaders around the world to do business with who run the kind of oligarchic regimes that he envies. Nothing he does overseas benefits average Americans.

Trump's letter to Norway proves it: he's lost his mind over the Nobel Peace Prize
