Buffalo shooting: Biden slams white supremacist ′terrorism′ | News | DW | 17.05.2022

US President Joe Biden on Tuesday condemned what he called the “poison” of white supremacy behind the mass shooting that killed 10 Black people in the second-largest city in the state of New York.

The FBI had said the case was being investigated as a hate crime and an act of “racially motivated violent extremism.”

“What happened here is simple and straightforward: Terrorism, terrorism, domestic terrorism,” Biden said.

Las ausencias dejan huecos, remembranzas y olvidos. Las ausencias, cuando pertenecen a alguien tan amado, duelen tanto y rasgan al ser. En los cementerios, suelen percibirse las ausencias, con sus alivios y sus dolores; pero al mirar aquí y allá, en un sitio y en otros más, uno nota que abundan los sobrantes, los nombres y los apellidos -algunos hasta con títulos, fatuos e innecesarios ya, de lo que fueron en la vida-, los epitafios que sustituyen historias, las flores secas que mueren como los anhelos, los recuerdos y los instantes…

More than 200 people being tracked for possible monkeypox exposure (Me: Perfect example of how an infectious disease can go global in 24 hours)
