An email sent by the Department of Homeland Security instructs people in the US on a temporary legal status to leave the country. But who the email actually applies to—and who actually received it—is far from clear.

9 Amazing sculptures: Fragmented travelers by Bruno Catalano

Embracing the Journey: Bruno Catalano's Vision In the vast and versatile world of sculpture, few artists can make a claim to a style so unique that it becomes instantly recognizable.

Immigrants sue ICE over alleged ‘Russian Detention & Deterrence Scheme’

msn.com/en-us/politics/governm

Lawyers representing hundreds of people being held in immigration detention around the country say that U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement has been arbitrarily singling out asylum-seekers from post-Soviet countries, detaining and keeping them locked up for extended periods of time — in violation of federal law and internal policies.

It is sickening to see how silent the so called "progressives" in #Europe and #US are about the terror attack in #Sweden.

The self centered assholes who demanded sympathy and support from the world after every freaking #terror attack in their country are are completely ignoring the worst mass shooting in Sweden's history.

I guess it would have been a whole different story if the terrorist was a #muslim and the target was a jewish school, even the freaking #Trump and #Starmer would have been on #TV condemning it.

US House of representatives voted 263-156 to pass the Laken Riley Act—which will enable Trump’s ICE to put migrants in detention without due process & empower states to block visa programs & federal immigration policy.

46 Democrats voted with Republicans.
12 Senate Democrats did the same.
Will be first bill Trump signs.

Stop acting like Democrats are any different than Republicans!


PS. I am usually not post US internal politics, but the current rapid jump toward fascism is too important to ignore!

I'm not real sure about the recent pardons. Couldn't Trump pardon the other millions of drug law offenders along with Ross Ulbricht?

What about all the other tax avoiders?

What about all the other guys who just hired undercover FBI agents to murder ex employees?

What about all those immigrants just trying to follow Libertarianism and be free and prosperous? Should they start a website to launder drug money and then they'll be ok?

Swedish minister wants to cancel permanent residency and deport those who carry the flag of Hezbollah or Hamas in Sweden.


Not only the flag of Hamas, but also any support for the Hamas leader or Hezbollah fighters.

Media have watered down his words who is far worse than what Germany suggested to demand those who want to become German citizens to pledge allegiance to Israel (kind of), but the Swedish migration minister want to push their agenda to cleanse the Swedish society from non nordic inhabitants, but starting the cleansing process by removing those who "glorify and celebrate terrorism".

"Runt om i Sverige hyllas terrorledare, bland annat i demonstrationståg mot Israels krig i Gaza. Nu vill migrationsminister Johan Forssell (M) kunna utvisa dem som viftar med terrorflaggor.
– Ägnar man sig åt terrorromantik och sprider antisemitism, och inte är svensk medborgare, då ska man lämna Sverige, säger han."


Anyone who wants to become a swedish citizen "must be well behaved and willing to embrace Swedish values" , in his case the Swedish values are tolerance and cooperation with neo Nazis and right wing extremists.

Sweden: The government wants to send a signal to immigrants: "Go home"


The extreme right coalition government in Sweden is no longer hiding it's desire to cleanse Sweden from all othose who are not pure blood Swedes.

I really wish the people in Sweden with non nurdic background could go on strike for a few days to show these lunatics what their advocating.

Most of the active members of the beo Nazi SD and their christian Taliban tail K(s)D has never had a job in their lives and almost entire leadership of their parties have one or more criminal convictions.

But they are doing such a great job blaming Their decades of failed policies on immigrants and the public is buying it.

Regeringen vill sända en signal om att invandrare inte är önskvärda. Vilka konkreta effekter den signalen ger får ”vi väl liksom utvärdera” senare.

9 Amazing sculptures by Bruno Catalano: Fragmented travelers

Embracing the Journey: Bruno Catalano’s Vision

In the vast and versatile world of sculpture, few artists can make a claim to a style so unique that it becomes instantly recognizable. Bruno Catalano is one such artist. His bronze sculptures, characterized by their distinct fragmented form, have become a beacon of contemporary art, illuminating the themes of travel, migration, and journeying that are intrinsically woven into the human experience.

Born in Morocco to a Sicilian family and later moving to France, Catalano’s life has been defined by movement and change. As a young man, he spent years sailing the seas, his voyages taking him to far corners of the globe. These experiences seeped into his art, creating a unique perspective that is both personal and universal.

His most famous series, “The Travelers,” embodies this perspective. Each figure, while physically incomplete, feels emotionally whole. These sculptures, with their substantial sections missing, are a metaphor for the artist’s own feelings of incompleteness caused by his extensive travels.

This article dives into the fascinating world of Bruno Catalano, exploring his inspiration, the development of his unique artistic style, and the profound impact of his work.

Navigating Life’s Seas: Catalano’s Own Odyssey

Bruno Catalano was born in 1960 in Morocco, to a family of Sicilian origin. His early life was enriched by a vibrant blend of cultures, a foundation that shaped his perspective of the world and his understanding of identity. The intricate tapestry of his early experiences would go on to influence his artistic expression, forming the basis for his unique, fragmented sculptures.

When Catalano was ten years old, his family relocated to Marseille, France, setting him on a path of migration that would significantly influence his work. Moving to a new country as a child is a transformative experience, one that often leaves lasting imprints. For Catalano, this transition shaped his perception of home, identity, and belonging, themes that would later become central to his art.

In his twenties, Catalano’s life took another dramatic turn as he became a sailor. He spent several years journeying across the globe, exploring the world’s vastness while experiencing a sense of detachment from his roots. The feeling of being scattered across various places, of leaving pieces of oneself behind with every move, is a sentiment that deeply resonated with Catalano.

His voyages on the sea were not just physical journeys but also emotional and psychological explorations. The experiences of constant motion, of witnessing new places and cultures, and of grappling with the feeling of being perpetually in transit profoundly impacted his personal and artistic development.

In many ways, Catalano’s life has been a series of voyages, each one leaving him a little more fragmented, a little more spread out across the globe. His personal journey, from Morocco to France and beyond, is not just a tale of geographical migration but also a profound exploration of the human condition, of identity and belonging, of home and displacement. These themes, so central to his life, have found a powerful expression in his iconic sculptures, inviting us to reflect on our own journeys and the fragments we leave behind.
