“Trump wants us to associate immigrants with criminality. That is the reason behind a weekly published list of immigrant crimes – the first of which was made public on Monday. Singling out the crimes of undocumented immigrants has one objective: to make people view them as deviant, dangerous and fundamentally undesirable. ” The Guardian, March 22, 2017
“`I didn’t want this job. I didn’t seek this job,’ Tillerson told the Independent Journal Review (IJR), in an interview (…) `My wife told me I’m supposed to do this.'” The Guardian, March 22, 2017
“…under the GOP plan, it estimated that 24 million people of all ages would lose coverage over 10 years (…) Trump’s plan, for instance, would cut $5.8 billion from the National Institutes of Health, an 18 percent drop for the $32 billion agency that funds much of the nation’s research into what causes different diseases and what it will take to treat them.” The New York Times, March 5, 2017

better if colder
Posted in pictures, Running with tags camera, ice, Parc de Sceaux, sunrise on February 15, 2012 by xi'an
It was colder this morning, when compared with two days ago, around -8⁰ and earlier as well, but it felt better, maybe because there was no wind at all, so I managed my usual 40mn loop around the Parc. The waterways were still frozen solid.
There was a full moon, too, but not low enough to make for a great picture (with my low quality camera), even though this was my hope when I went running, delaying my departure till sunrise…
