RIP Polish-born writer Czesław Miłosz, died this day 2004.
"Sometimes you hear a distant refrain.
What does it mean, you ask, who is singing?
A childlike sun grows warm.
A grandson and a great-grandson are born.
You are led by the hand once again."

There are widespread reports of ICE agents abducting people while masked, without warrants or identification. Due to recent events, we strongly advise: do not open your door or car for anyone you don’t know. That’s the message. No need to elaborate.

Trump used a pic of war deaths in Democratic Republic of Congo to push lie of South African white "genocide."
