This Jan. 6 plaque was made to honor law enforcement. It's nowhere to be found at the Capitol
Approaching the fifth anniversary of the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the Capitol, the official plaque honoring the police who defended democracy is nowhere to be found.

What is remarkable is how the team around Starmer also buys into a myth around 1990s Labour that venerates performative hippy-punching rather than a more complicated reality where Blair and Brown also bought the party "hippies" off by giving them key wins in social, welfare and human rights policy

Alma Allen, un artiste inconnu pour représenter les Etats-Unis à la Biennale de Venise
Le sculpteur autodidacte a un profil décalé par rapport aux artistes choisis d’ordinaire pour cette manifestation. Le département d’Etat avait exigé un travail célébrant les valeurs américaines, et exclu toute œuvre promouvant diversité, équité et inclusion.
