Duterte to drug dealers: ‘I will kill you. I will really kill you’
Agnes Callamard, the UN Special Rapporteur on extrajudicial, summary or arbitrary executions has paid a surprise visit to Philippines in order to investigate President Rodrigo Duterte’s war on drugs.

Far from toning down his remarks about the drug war, Duterte issued a message to drug dealers that typically pulled no punches. -

If you're planning on opening a business, ask yourself the same questions grocery stores ask themselves before decorating.

William J. Astore: Memories of War
Memories of war are powerful and fragmentary. At a national level, we do best at remembering our own war dead while scarcely recognizing the damage to others. This is one cost of nationalism. Nationalism is violent, bigoted, and discriminatory. It elevates a few at the expense of the many. It fails fully to recognize common human experience, even one as shattering as war.
