Today's a good day to remember the Tiananmen Square protests and massacre of 4 June 1989.
These photos serve as a reminder that sometimes you need to be fed-up with your government, and brave like Tank Man, also known as the Unknown Protester or Unknown Rebel. This unidentified Chinese man stood in front of a column of Type 59 tanks leaving Tiananmen Square in Beijing on June 5, 1989.

Do you also wonder what the future may look like?
I look back 20 years and ask myself what has changed
Has it become better?
Have we become better?
The thoughts from back then
that the world is turning bad
Have not really become better
They are worse
We go, humanly speaking, steps backwards
We are not moving forward

If ever somebody doubted that economical sanctions are not only unfair, but also affect the poorest parts of populations, thus making immigration rocketing.
Venezuela didn't get a cent of international aid against Covid, nor did the English Central Bank allow the country to access it's own money to fight the disease.
Guess what, Venezuelans are flooding to the US border.
"...we also provide in-depth discussions of three sanctions episodes — Iran, Afghanistan, and Venezuela — that illustrate the channels through which sanctions damage living conditions in target countries.
In the three cases, sanctions that restricted governments’ access to foreign exchange affected the ability of states to provide essential public goods and services and generated substantial negative spillovers on private sector and nongovernmental actors..."
