Alex Pretti was an American hero. He saved lives. He protected people. He cared deeply about his community, unlike the murderous thugs who killed him. The very last thing he did was try to help a woman who had been pepper-sprayed and violently shoved to the ground by ICE. 1/

Leiden, 15 juli 1606. Schilder Rembrandt van Rijn werd geboren. Rembrandt werd wereldberoemd om zijn voorstellingen vol dramatiek, met grote licht-donkercontrasten en experimentele penseelstreken. Tegenwoordig behoren zijn schilderijen tot de meest waardevolle werken ter wereld. 1/3
