BTS Makes Appearance at White House Press Briefing to Talk Anti-Asian Hate
The biggest band in the world is inside one of the most famous residences … all in the name of stopping anti-Asian hate. The K-pop supergroup addressed members of the media during Tuesday’s White House press briefing Tuesday to put a spotlight on the troubling rise of anti-Asian hate crimes and the importance of Asian inclusion and diversity. During the briefing, BTS thanked President Biden for the chance to speak on the issues and for reminding them how important their voice can be as artists. May 31 marks the last day of Asian American and Native Hawaiian/Pacific Islander heritage month. The group was also scheduled to have a closed meeting with President Biden in the Oval Office to discuss hate crimes targeting Asians in the U.S. — which also comes on the heels of Biden’s first trip to Asia as President.

Last year, he signed the COVID-19 Hate news Crimes Act into law.
The Toronto Comic Arts Festival boots NFT artist: ‘We made a mistake’
The Toronto Comic Arts Festival is one of the most prestigious events for artists in Canada, and it’s also one of the largest festivals in the world dedicated to the appreciation and promotion of comics — and only comics. But TCAF is at the center of a firestorm of controversy after announcing that NFT artist Pink Cat, also known as Saba Moeel, would be one of the festival’s featured guests. On Tuesday, TCAF announced that they are uninviting Moeel, and clarified the original intentions behind her invitation.
Pink Cat’s featured guest status immediately raised eyebrows in the artist community. A comics festival highlighting an artist who primarily deals with NFTs is unusual to start. Many members of the arts community considered NFTs an assault on their profession when they initially took off as a trend. As time has passed and expensive apes have been snagged from their owners’ accounts, the technical and ethical issues with these tokens have become increasingly clear.
The controversy around Moeel intensified when social media travel users went through her online history to find a history of tracing artwork, tweets disparaging community artists, appropriating Black culture for profit, and transphobic remarks. Polygon contacted Moeel for comment via Twitter; she replied with the following message. Yeah these guys invited me to disinvite me. They payed flight hotel etc, i didnt even know who they were. Very weird
This isn’t my world, I’m a real life artist I don’t care about organizations or trade shows, I have my own following it’s not a cult following it’s mainstream. The LA times called me the Gen Z Garfield, we aren’t in the same league. The backlask against Moeel’s TCAF invitation continued through Memorial Day. On Monday, the festival’s official account tweeted, “The TCAF executive and organizers have heard your valid concerns and we are working on a statement. Thank you for your patience while we prepare a response.” On Tuesday, that statement was released. It reads in part: TCAF initially extended a programming invitation to Moeel on the basis of their daily digital comics work on Instagram, and the personal importance that work had to one of our team members. At the time of this invitation, the organization was unaware of Moeel’s online conduct, plagiarism, or allegations of tracing. We apologize for programming and promoting this artist.
We made a mistake. As a promise to our community, we will use this as a learning moment as we move forward as an organization, and will re-examine the checks and balances we currently use to process our programming decisions. The statement further clarifies that no one on the board has financial ties to Moeel, such as the purchase of one of her NFTs. The statement concludes, “We are very proud of the line-up of artists and exhibitors we have gathered for this year’s festival, and it is our sincere hope that this error on our part does not overshadow the hard work of our team, our other guests, and our exhibitors.”
Rina Sawayama on How Taylor Swift Inspired Her Own Songwriting – Billboard
Fresh off the conclusion of her 2022 tour earlier in May, Rina Sawayama announced her plans to release Hold the Girl, the follow-up to her critically acclaimed album, SAWAYAMA. In an interview with Rolling Stone UK published on Tuesday (May 31), the British-Japanese singer spoke at length about Hold the Girl, and how Taylor Swift provided inspiration on her songwriting approach for the new record.
Sawayama told the outlet that ahead of recording the new album, she started going to therapy for unresolved trauma travel and often was left wondering if she would be able to channel the pain into a record. But then she thought about Swift.
“I remember when Taylor Swift released Folklore, I was like, ‘This b—h is writing about fake stories and she just wrote a whole album. If she can do it, I need to do it,’” she told the magazine.
Pushing through emotional trauma resulted in Hold the Girl, and though the album addresses topics that are sensitive in Sawayama’s personal life, she explained that she won’t be speaking about the events in detail until she’s ready. “For me, it’s important that the listener is able to listen to it as a pop record first without that background, [and] make their own feelings about it,” she said. “And then, when I’m ready, I think I will be able to talk about what it’s actually about.”
The 31-year-old pop star has a very specific idea of what she wanted the album to sound like, going as far as bringing photos to producer Stuart Price to flesh out her vision. “It was someone meditating on the edge of the cliff, it was seagulls, it was someone on a pier, it was Irish coastline, waves hitting,” she remembered. “And he absolutely nailed it – it does sound like that.”
Country music also serves as a major inspiration for the record, as seen in her recent single, “This Hell.” While it might be an unconventional choice for Sawayama to give the genre a try, she explained that she has “been so fascinated with the feeling of escapism that country music has. It’s very homey, but for a Brit, it sounds like the big Wild West. … It’s quite random for a Japanese-British artist to make country music, but I never really care about those kinds of things. I just want to have fun.”
Hold the Girl is set to be released on Sept. 2, 2022. Revisit the teaser for the album below.

Daniel Defense: The maker of the AR15-style rifle used in the Texas shooting has a history of controversial weapons ads
CNN — When users visit the website of firearm manufacturer Daniel Defense, a pop-up appears expressing condolences to the victims of the Uvalde, Texas, shooting that left 19 children and two adults dead. “It is our understanding that the firearm used in the attack was manufactured by Daniel Defense,” the website states. “We will cooperate with all federal, state, and local law enforcement authorities in their investigations.” Days before the shooting, the Georgia-based company tweeted a provocative image of a toddler holding an assault-style weapon with the caption: “Train up a child in the way he should go, and when he is old, he will not depart from it.” The company, founded by Marty Daniel, is now under the magnifying glass of politicians and activists looking to change gun laws so that civilians do not have easy access to military-grade weapons. The US House of Representatives Committee on Oversight and Reform is asking Daniel Defense to provide information such as how much they spend on advertising, their gross revenue from assault-style rifle sales and other items before their June 8 hearing that will “examine the root cause of gun violence and evaluate measures to prevent further loss of life from firearms.” Daniel Defense has since deleted the toddler tweet – which used language from Proverbs 22:6 in the Bible – but since its founding in 2000, the company has made headlines numerous times for how it advertises its weapons to consumers. Salvador Ramos, the man who carried out the shooting in Uvalde, was one such consumer. Investigators found one of the suspect’s AR15-style rifles, manufactured by Daniel Defense, in the school, according to Texas state Sen. John Whitmire, who received a briefing from law enforcement. CNN has reached out to Daniel Defense for comment but has not heard back. Marty Daniel founded his company once he was “bitten by the shooting bug,” according to a timeline of the company’s history. After graduating from Georgia Southern University with an electrical engineering degree, Daniel opened an overhead door and fireplace business. His firearm business got its start because a friend invited him to shoot his AR, the site says. “Every shot he fired filled him with a satisfaction he’d never before experienced,” the website states. In the more than 20 years since its founding, Daniel Defense has marketed themselves as a company that prides itself on making “nearly every component part it sells,” its website states. On its “company values” page, the company said fitness building their own parts “differentiates us from many industry players who basically assemble rather than build their products.” “We love to build great guns,” Marty Daniel said in a 2019 ad. The NFL refused to allow a Daniel Defense ad during Super Bowl XLVIII in 2014 because it promoted guns. The ad focused on a man coming home to his wife and baby. “I am responsible for their protection, and no one has the right to tell me how to defend them,” the man in the ad says in a voiceover. “So I’ve chosen the most effective tool for the job,” the ad ends with Daniel Defense’s logo. While it never aired during the Super Bowl, Marty Daniel turned the rejection into an avalanche of attention. “The majority of the Super Bowl fans have the same values that we have at Daniel Defense and that is we believe in protecting our families,” Daniel told Fox News at the time. Gun control activists argue the company is targeting younger customers with nods to pop culture icons and video games. At the same time, Daniel seems to aim and focus his comments at older Americans and gun control. “The anti-Second Amendment crowd just looks for any excuse to ban guns in any way they can,” Daniel told OutdoorHub in 2016. But the company has shied away from the limelight in the wake of the Uvalde shooting. Daniel Defense did not attend the National Rifle Association convention last week. It was the gun lobby’s first annual meeting in three years because of the Covid-19 pandemic. “Daniel Defense is not attending the NRA meeting due to the horrifying tragedy in Uvalde, Texas, where one of our products was criminally misused,” said Steve Reed, the company’s vice president of marketing, in a statement. “We believe this week is not the appropriate time to be promoting our products in Texas at the NRA meeting.” The company’s display was replaced by a popcorn cart and a baked potato stand.
10 of Hot Ones’ best and spiciest interviews
For a number of years, the on-camera long-form celebrity interview was in a rut. Outside of some podcasts and public radio programming, the appetite for self-serious conversations about the entertainment industry had diminished, and most of the personalities that had once made them digestible were either dead or retired. But then came along a YouTube show called Hot Ones, [cut to two-shot] a show with hot questions and even hotter wings. Hot Ones rejuvenated the format by solving two major problems: a) getting the guest out of their own head by providing them with a distracting challenge and b) removing any whiff of showbiz brevity with the nature of the challenge.
If you are unfamiliar with Hot Ones, the premise is simple. It’s a one-on-one interview show where host Sean Evans asks guests remarkably compelling questions while both host and guest attempt to eat 10 increasingly spicy chicken wings. The spice level of each wing is measured in Scoville units, and to give you some idea of how spicy it can get, the first wing is measured at 1800 Scovilles while the final wing has over 2.5 million. For comparison, that final wing is roughly 500 times hotter than a jalapeño. The questions posed are surprisingly thoughtful, often eliciting audible disbelief from the guest at the amount of preparation Evans has done for the interview. These moments alone would be enough to make the show endlessly watchable, but it’s the wings that add an element of unpredictability, requiring you to come back for more. Many guests cry trying to eat all 10, others panic, one guest pooped his pants, and a very elite few display minimal signs of distress. A guest could always be answering a question deceptively to make themselves look better, but there’s no hiding from the truth hidden in the wings. Here’s a selection of some of the best Hot Ones episodes that demonstrate why it’s the best celebrity interview show in ages. Eddie Huang Season 2, episode 10 The spice levels of the first seven wings are fairly manageable, giving Evans plenty of time to ask his guest some engaging questions before the interview implodes with the reliably explosive eighth wing, covered in the show’s most infamous sauce: Da’ Bomb. Things got off track immediately when chef Eddie Huang came on and began to eat the wings in reverse order, prompting Evans to tell him “you just did a crazy thing that I think you are going to regret.” He did. Huang spent the next half hour in complete agony, asking if his life was in jeopardy, before the show was able to resume. While Huang was unable to eat the remainder of the wings, he still provided one of the best interviews to date as Evans asked him about the transformative effects of receiving a zero-star restaurant review as well as his beef with Gordon Ramsay. He returned two years later to take on the wings in the proper order, though only in slightly less discomfort. The best question: “What do you think is the biggest problem in food media in 2016?” In reliably filterless fashion, Huang pointed to celebrity chefs as being overhyped clowns and said if someone has to tell you why something tastes good, then it probably doesn’t. While embedded in food media himself, Huang is certainly outside the mainstream television chef club, which gives him a perfect vantage point on the issues he believes are afflicting the industry. Shaquille O’Neal Season 8, episode 8 Academy Award winner, doctoral degree holder, and Olympic gold medalist Shaquille O’Neal added another prestigious accolade to his career by becoming the tallest Hot Ones guest of all time in 2019. The basketball legend and platinum-selling recording artist talked a big game by guaranteeing the wings would not get him to “make a face.” He did, a few times, but the most entertaining aspect of the episode was the conversation itself. O’Neal humorously recounted the highs and lows of his basketball career by elaborating on differences in opinion with former teammate Kobe Bryant, recalled an important life lesson involving blowing a million dollars from his first NBA contract in under 45 minutes, and talked about shattering backboards as early as high school. O’Neal was able to get through all 10 wings but, perhaps feeling out-sauced, aggressively persuaded Evans to eat a single wing smothered in the contents of every bottle on the table and dubbed it “Shaq Sauce.” The best question: “Fact or fiction: You used to have police lights on your truck and you once pulled over Darius Miles on the freeway and made him late for Clippers practice?” Shaq laughingly opted to not answer this one, which could be seen as an answer in itself. Natalie Portman Season 6, episode 2 There is certainly much to be said about the ethics of a talk show that centers around ingesting birds for amusement, and this elephant was addressed when Natalie Portman took on the (vegan) wings of death to promote her documentary Eating Animals, which is about exactly what you think it is. Evans did not shy away from discussing the topic, and Portman spoke at length about the environmental effects of factory farming and the difference that could be made by simply eating less meat. The interview transitioned to other big questions, like if eating a taco from the top makes you a psychopath and what the greatest stoner film of all time is. As far as wing composure goes, Portman is easily one of the most unflappable guests the show has ever seen. Her eyes are completely filled with tears by the end of the challenge and she does acknowledge some discomfort, but a detectable shift in demeanor is largely absent. The best question: “How, at all, does the international press differ from the American press?” Portman, one of the very few people who could be considered a world-renowned person of interest for multiple decades of global blockbusters, said the biggest differences she sees are that the European press want to know where movie stars stand on political issues and the Japanese press just wants to goof around. Gordon Ramsay Season 8, episode 1 Most famous for making the fringe elements of society cry on TV over undercooked beef Wellington, Gordon Ramsay was Hot Ones’ most requested guest for years. The Michelin Star chef was the perfect person to sit in the hot seat and receive a reconciliatory return on investment for televised torment (outside of MasterChef Junior, which continues to be wholesome and delightful). Ramsay may be a highly decorated chef, but his status as an entertainer is equally impressive, and he is as animated as ever, providing thoughtful insight on the restaurant industry while predictably admonishing the quality of the chicken in front of him. The fireworks really start once he starts suffering through the back half of the wings, leading him to chug a giant glass of Pepto Bismol, scarf down donuts, discard wings by throwing them off the set, rub a lime on his butt, take shots at a late restaurant critic that once spurned him, squirt copious amounts of acidic juices into his mouth (and then spit them into a trash can), and create a new language made entirely of different inflections of curse words. The best question: “Do you have any thoughts on this black foods trend known as ‘goth foods’?” Operating at the highest possible level of the food industry, Ramsay is perhaps the best person to ask about meals that place appearance over all else. Unsurprisingly, he’s not really into the idea of getting ice cream that has charcoal in it and thinks some people have too much time on their hands. Tyra Banks Season 5, episode 14 Outside of the meme industrial complex, Tyra Banks is most famous as a fashion icon, talk show host, and supermodel. The show allows you to get to know someone way more personably than you would on a six-minute late night couch stint, but you never really truly understand someone until you meet the people that raised them, which is exactly what happened when Banks’ mother, Carolyn London, joined her for a single wing. Banks herself ranks among the funniest guests the show has hosted, as she provides fascinating insight into the fashion and modeling world, not-so-subtly tries to get a date with 2 Chainz, uses her expertise to weigh in on mostly ridiculous promotional modeling photos of Evans, and talks about her crush on Larry David. While she declined to eat the ninth wing, opting instead for an unprepared and nervous cameraman to do the deed, she came back to the table to overcome The Last Dab, the 10th and final wing. The best question: “I know that you were helping to teach a class for Stanford MBAs called ‘Project You: Building and Extending Your Personal Brand.’ Is it true you started the class having the students take one-minute videos of themselves?” As mentioned earlier, it’s a common experience on the show for the guest to be genuinely surprised by a question (they don’t see or know what the questions are beforehand), and Banks is stopped dead in her tracks, asking Evans how he knew that about her. She goes on to explain that the video was used as a measuring stick so that the students could really see how developed their brand had become by the end of the semester. Keegan-Michael Key and Jordan Peele Season 2, episode 8 Back when press junkets were held in hotel suites and movie stars were forced to be interviewed all day by some of the most abrasively feverish personalities on the planet, Keegan-Michael Key and Jordan Peele found themselves on an abridged version of the show while promoting Keanu. The interview was 15 minutes long, only enough time for the last five wings, so the interview goes from 0 to 100 almost immediately, and the result is one of the show’s most purely funny episodes. Peele starts noticeably struggling on the second (usually the seventh) wing as he hits Evans with a comically dead-eyed stare and dropped jaw while Key answers a question about attending the White House Correspondents’ Dinner. The duo continue to hit wall after wall while hilariously answering questions about unaired Key & Peele sketches, collectively referred to as “Camp Awesome,” and with Key flexing his knowledge about Scovilles (“I know that it’s a unit and I can tell you I know it has something to do with how fucked up my mouth feels.”) The episode ends with them pleading with anyone watching to never come on the show. The best question: “What sketch in ‘Camp Awesome’ are you so upset that it just hasn’t seen the light of day? That nobody will ever see it?” Though they’re both taken aback at how Evans knows about something as obscure as “Camp Awesome,” most of their focus is on the pain, leading Peele to quickly make up a sketch about happily swimming and drowning in a vat of water. Olivia Rodrigo Season 15, episode 5 Like Billie Eilish before her, Olivia Rodrigo made an appearance on the show just as she was riding her first crest of superstardom. It’s rare to see young entertainers get the long-form interview treatment for a number of reasons, many of them likely related to a lack of media experience, but Hot Ones has a proven track record as a gotcha-free zone, so the guest’s only real concern is not puking on the internet. For a lot of viewers, this was a coming-out party of sorts for Rodrigo, and the most remarkable takeaway was how absolutely normal she seemed. The singer-songwriter sensation who had been drilling ear worms into our heads for the past several months was somehow a well-adjusted musical theater nerd with big time golly-gee energy. This wasn’t someone with superficial extraterrestrial clothing and a holier-than-thou disposition. This was just a regular person who happened to be well on their way to pop domination based on the work alone. The interview changed perceptions about what a pop star could be as well as showcasing the potential of what Hot Ones could accomplish for rising talent. The best question: “As a musician who covers such a wide gamut of styles, how do you know when a feeling or an idea will fit best in, like, a pop-punk song versus, like, a heartbreak ballad versus, like, an alt-rock anthem?” In Rodrigo’s view, contemporary pop music has become largely genreless. She starts with lyrics first, and then builds around them whatever music and tempo will serve them best. Dave Grohl Season 17, episode 6 Guests often come in with a strategy to try to offset the heat. Alton Brown drank half and half (and he may be on to something, judging by his seemingly painless performance). Jack Black and Kyle Gass gulped down some Thai iced teas. Universally beloved rockstar Dave Grohl took a scorched-earth approach by extinguishing all of his senses with several shots of Black Tooth Grins, a simple medley of Crown Royal and Coca-Cola, swirled together with hot-sauce-covered fingers and shared in abundance with Sean Evans. Grohl has been around the block a few times, so there was no lack of interesting ground to cover. The show aired shortly before the passing of fellow Foo Fighter Taylor Hawkins, and among the topics discussed was the late drummer’s cover band, Chevy Metal, which Grohl occasionally sat in on, once pulling a muscle in his hand trying to keep up with an Andy Summers guitar riff. The last wing gets uncharacteristically emotional when Grohl starts recounting how surreal it was to perform on SNL and Letterman after dreaming about being on those stages for years, and then he surprisingly equates those moments to the show he’s currently on. It’s too much for Evans to process and the show ends with both men hugging and shit-faced. The best question: “In 2015 you famously finished a show in Sweden after falling off the stage two songs in and severely breaking your leg. What’s the second-most-severe injury that you’ve ever suffered while performing?” It would have been surprising if Grohl hadn’t suffered some sort of ridiculous injury based on how he dealt with the broken leg, but while nothing really came close, getting hit in the face with a half dollar as well as getting electrically shocked on a stage perplexingly situated by a swimming pool ain’t a walk in the park either. Chelsea Handler Season 8, episode 11 Hot Ones shares a little bit of DNA with late-night TV, which is why multiple talk show hosts like Seth Meyers and Jimmy Kimmel have had a go in the guest seat, but the best of the bunch was when Chelsea Handler brought her specific brand of comedy to the show. The show thrives when the guest has little regard for their own reputation, and Handler gives the zero-est fucks of them all, making for an endlessly entertaining interview. She comes in hot right away, tracing her standup roots to a DUI class where she made her fellow classmates laugh and describing her arrest in unflattering detail. The interview continues to delve into all sorts of uncommon experiences such as marijuana-infused six-course meals, getting drunk on safari with good friend (and fellow Hot Ones champion) Charlize Theron, and topless rampages on Instagram. Handler hits a pretty hard wall with Da’ Bomb and is hesitant to continue, but Evans at this point in his tenure is a battle-hardened spice lord who has seen every conceivable psychological struggle that guests could have and is able to help guide her through the volcanic terrain of the last two wings to Hot Ones glory. The best question: “Do you have a take on the state of the celebrity interview show? Like is the late-night format failing its audience or is that a position that’s a little overstated?” Handler sees the traditional schmoozy-style of celebrity couch interview as outside her own personal skill set (and anyone who watched Chelsea Lately would certainly agree with that assertion), but concedes there’s a place for it since the audience is clearly there. DJ Khaled Season 1, episode 8 Widely considered the worst guest of all time, DJ Khaled’s episode is distinctly important in that it laid the foundation of how not to approach the show. Clearly knowing what he was walking into, Khaled flew in the chef from his restaurant Finga Licking to ensure the quality of the chicken would be up to his standards, but he probably should have spared the expense. He amazingly has to throw in the towel after only the second wing with a barrage of wide-ranging excuses. He goes on to tell Evans that he’s crazy, the show is dangerous, and then strangely claims he doesn’t know anything about Hot Ones. The interview continues, but not without remaining in its fixed rut of weirdness. At one point a poetically waxing Khaled lingers way too long on a metaphor about ripping open the doors to success and placing the proverbial hinges in the hands of the “fuckboy” trying to keep it closed (“it’s called congratulations, you played yourself”). He also keeps talking to someone off-screen, complaining that he’s fucked up because of the wings and expressing concern that he’s maybe on Punk’d. The interview is so disastrously bad that every few episodes a guest will bring it up. There have been multiple challengers who have surrendered early, but now everyone knows to quit with even just a smidge of modesty. The best question: “You called this album an uppercut and a knockout and I always wonder when you say these things, who are you fighting? When you called this a victory, who did you defeat?” It’s not always clear if even Khaled is sure what the next word out of his mouth is going to be, at least in this interview, but if there’s one thing he does know it’s that he doesn’t care for the fuckboys, whoever they may be. Sean Evans Season 3, episode 23 The table was turned in travel a very fun way when Sean Evans himself sat in the guest chair for a single episode, marking the only time he didn’t host the show. Super fan Brett Baker, whose biggest claim to fame is posting Hot Ones episode power rankings on Twitter, was tapped to run the interview and surprisingly nailed it despite otherwise being plucked from obscurity. The show is required viewing for die-hard fans, as it offers a behind-the-scenes peek of just how a chicken wing interview show operates. Among the revelations was the secret process of finding compelling questions to ask the guests (turns out it’s a lot of reading?), how many hoodies Evans thinks he owns, and what it was like to sit across from Bobby Lee when he pooped his pants. Evans also revealed he was on track to become a weatherman after a college professor in his broadcast journalism program told him he was too glib to be anything else, which… actually, yeah, that kinda tracks. The best question: “When you were figuring out exactly what Hot Ones was, was there anyone you looked to as inspiration?” Evans often cites the purposely weird and offbeat interviews of Alexa Chung on Britain’s Popworld as a way to shake up the often stale celebrity interview (and not, as he has said on other episodes, from any excessive love of chicken wings or spicy food). He also wanted to emulate Howard Stern’s ability to make any guest interesting, and the results speak for themselves.

Trove of Ancient Egyptian Artifacts Displayed Near Cairo
Some 250 painted sarcophagi were put on the makeshift exhibit.

EU leaders agree to a partial embargo on Russian oil
European Union leaders reached a deal late Monday on a sixth sanction package that would include a partial oil embargo against Russia after resolving an objection from Hungary.
During a marathon meeting in Brussels, the EU members agreed to an embargo that covers Russian oil transported by sea, allowing a temporary exemption for imports delivered by pipeline.
EU Council President Charles Michel said on Twitter the deal covers more than two-thirds of oil imports from Russia, “cutting a huge source of financing for its war machine. Maximum pressure on Russia to end the war.”
The package had stalled in recent days as Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban repeatedly claimed his nation’s economy would shatter without oil from Russia, which supplies 60% of Hungary’s oil. All 27 EU countries must agree for the package to win approval. As a landlocked nation, Hungary is not impacted by the ban on oil brought in by tanker.
European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen had expressed doubt that an agreement would be reached at the two-day summit. “My expectations are low that it will be solved in the next 48 hours,” she said. Other developments: ►Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan told Russian President Vladimir Putin he’s ready to resume a role in ending the war, including taking part in a possible “observation mechanism” between Ukraine, Russia and the U.N. Negotiations in Istanbul held in March failed to make headway. ►French journalist Frédéric Leclerc-Imhoff was killed Monday in Ukraine while trying to show the “reality of the war,” French President Emmanuel Macron announced. Macron said Leclerc-Imhoff was on a humanitarian bus alongside civilians forced to flee to escape Russian bombs near Sievierodonetsk, a key city in the Donbas region.
►Russian state gas giant Gazprom said Monday it will cut off supplies to the Dutch trader GasTerra starting Tuesday for failing to pay for deliveries in rubles, as Russian President Vladimir Putin now requires. GasTerra, based in the northern Dutch city of Groningen, said it anticipated the move and bought gas from other providers. USA TODAY ON TELEGRAM: Join our Russia-Ukraine war channel to receive updates straight to your phone Biden won’t provide Ukraine with long-range missiles The U.S. has no plans to send rocket systems to Ukraine that are capable of striking into Russia, President Joe Biden said Monday. Ukrainian officials have been asking for longer-range systems including the Multiple Launch Rocket System that has a range of hundreds of miles. The administration is working out details on a new weapons package.
Dmitry Medvedev, the deputy head of Russia’s Security Council, called Biden’s decision “reasonable.”
“Otherwise, if our cities come under attack, the Russian armed forces would fulfill (their) threat and strike the centers where such criminal decisions are made,” Medvedev said, adding that, “some of them aren’t in Kyiv.” 30 million in Africa face severe hunger, and war is inflating food prices More than 30 million people in different regions of Africa — the Horn in the east and the Sahel across the north — are facing severe hunger because of drought and other agricultural challenges.
The war in Ukraine has made the situation even more precarious as the price of staples like wheat and cooking oil have skyrocketed. Russia and Ukraine have stopped wheat exports through the Black Sea since Moscow launched its invasion Feb. 24.
Those two countries accounted for 44% of African nations’ wheat imports between 2018 and 2020, according to U.N. figures. The African Development Bank is reporting a 45% increase in wheat prices on the continent, making a large number of products — including bread and couscous — more expensive, even unaffordable for some. “Acute hunger is soaring to unprecedented levels and the global situation just keeps on getting worse,” David Beasley, executive director of the U.N.’s World Food Program, said earlier this month. “Conflict, the climate crisis, COVID-19 and surging food and fuel costs have created a perfect storm — and now we’ve got the war in Ukraine piling catastrophe on top of catastrophe.”
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said his country has been unable to export 22 million tons of grain because the Russians are blockading its ports, and he charged that the resulting threat of famine in nations dependent on wheat is part of Vladimir Putin’s plan to get sanctions relief. The food crisis could turn into a migration crisis, Zelenskyy said.
“This is something the Russian leadership clearly seeks,” Zelenskyy said during his nightly video address, adding that Moscow was “deliberately creating this problem so that the whole of Europe struggles and so that Ukraine doesn’t earn billions of dollars from its exports.” UK: Russia likely suffering ‘devastating’ loss of young officers Russia has likely suffered devastating losses among its mid and junior ranking officers, the British Defense Ministry said in it latest assessment of the war. The assessment says brigade and battalion commanders probably deploy forward into harm’s way because they are held to an uncompromising level of responsibility for their units’ health performance. The loss of a large proportion of the younger generation of professional officers will likely “exacerbate its ongoing problems” in modernizing command and control.
“With multiple credible reports of localized mutinies amongst Russia’s forces in Ukraine, a lack of experienced and credible platoon and company commanders is likely to result (in) a further decrease in morale and continued poor discipline,” the assessment says. Russians banned from some sports but not National Hockey League The National Hockey League postseason features Russians starring to big applause in arenas across the U.S. and Canada, even as Russians in sports from soccer to tennis have been banned. A total of 56 Russians skated in the NHL during the regular season, roughly 5% of the total number of players, and 29 have taken part in the playoffs, just under 8%. Russian players have said little about Russian leader Vladimir Putin’s “special military operation” in Ukraine.
“Everybody’s doing the best they can under incredibly trying circumstances,” Commissioner Gary Bettman told The Associated Press. “Our players play for their NHL teams, no matter where they’re from.” Read more here . Contributing: The Associated Press

Trove of Unseen Photographs by Dora Maar Go to Auction in Paris – ARTnews.com
A trove of 750 photographs by French photographer Dora Maar, known for being one of Pablo Picasso’s primary muses, will be offered for sale from her estate next month by a Parisian auction house. The group of images, produced between the 1920s and 1940s, have not previously been seen by the public. The majority of the photographs were taken during the decade that Maar, who died in 1997, spent with the Spanish painter. Subjects in the photographs range from anonymous figures captured in Parisian streets to artists and creatives who ran in the same avant-garde circles. The grouping, which will be sold during two live auctions on June 27 and 28 at Artcurial in Paris is expected to fetch €700,000–€800,000 ($880,000–$1 million). Until recently, Maar was little known to the general public for her own art , long having been remembered by many for being one of Picasso’s jilted ex-lovers—one among a handful of women, including Marie-Thérèse Walter and Francois Gilot—and for being the main subject of his famed 1937 series “Weeping Woman.”
Maar’s reputation changed when a 2019 survey of her work at the Centre Pompidou, which traveled to the Tate Modern in London and the Getty Center in Los Angeles, brought the artist into a new light.
Since the late 1990s, the group of negatives and contact sheets that will be offered for sale had remained in a box and put aside with Maar’s personal effects, which were inherited by her descendants, who are French and Croatian.
“Nobody paid any attention to them and they remained stored without being seen until recently, after the recent exhibitions and retrospectives on the artist,” Antoine Romand, a photography specialist at Artcurial told ARTnews via email. Previous sales in 1988 and 1999 of paintings and photographs from Maar’s estate were held in Paris.
A representative for Artcurial declined to specify the reason for the heirs’ decision to sell a portion of Maar’s archive.
Highlights from the archival collection include two portraits of Picasso seated outside, taken in 1936 and 1937 respectively. health Other black-and-white images depicting artist Nusch Éluard topless at a beach in Antibes and scenes of street life in Paris and London will be among the lots offered in the sale. Each are expected to sell for prices between €1,500 and €3,500 ($1,600 to $3,800).
Across her oeuvre, Maar produced fashion photographs, advertising campaigns, studio portraits, street scenes, documentary images and Surrealist photomontages, but she has also been considered as a collaborator in documenting Picasso’s famed wartime 1937 opus, Guernica, inspired by the aftermath of the Spanish Civil War.
Born in Paris, Maar spent her childhood in Buenos Aires, eventually returning to the French capital in the 1920s to study photography. She would later go on to photograph the Great Depression Era throughout European cities and and opened her own photography studio in Paris by the early 1930s before meeting Picasso.
The sale comes as interest in under-recognized players in the Surrealist art movement surges. The traveling show “Surrealism Beyond Borders,” now on view at Tate Modern in London, takes a global view of the movement and features Maar’s work. Meanwhile, Maar’s career has been reconsidered as scholars explore the gender politics in artist-muse relationships.

Art Historian Dies at 98 – ARTnews.com
Samella Lewis, an artist, curator, and historian whose writings shaped African American art history, has died at 98. She died on Friday, according to the Museum of African American Art in Los Angeles, which Lewis founded.
In her art and her writing, Lewis sought to preserve aspects of the African American experience that had largely been ignored by the biggest institutions in the United States. Her work has inspired legions of artists, critics, curators, and art historians who came after her, and has been considered crucial for the way Black art is studied in the country today.
Lewis’s books, most notably Black Artists on Art (1969) and Art: African American (1978), are believed to have been among the first surveys of their kind. The former was put out by a publishing house that Lewis herself set up, Contemporary Crafts, because many of the biggest art-book editors did not believe it would find an audience, she once recalled. Related Articles If Black Artists on Art, with its 150 interviews, was already ambitious, given the lack of resources Lewis had on hand, Art: African American was an epic endeavor. It marked an attempt to map centuries’ worth of art-making, beginning with African American craft traditions from the 17th century and culminating in the work of the book’s then-present. Jacob Lawrence, the artist best known for a cycle of paintings known as “The Migration Series,” wrote that book’s foreword.
“Today’s African-American artists are energetic participants in cultural revolution,” Lewis wrote. “Driven by needs that are both social and aesthetic, the African-American artist searches for cultural identity, for self-discovery, and for self-understanding.” Making Memories In her own art, Lewis continued the project she had begun in her writing, producing images that were reflections on the African American experience of the past and the present.
“Art is a language like poetry, evoking sensitivities and memories,” she told the Los Angeles Times in 1995.
Curator Naima J. Keith once described Lewis’s art as “pictorial manifestations of the age of civil rights and black liberation.”
In one of her most famous works, the 1968 linocut print Field , a Black worker is shown in a field before a towering sun. The figure holds one fist up in the air, evoking a symbol used in Black Power protests by activists. Although that symbol is rooted in recent history, Lewis evokes the times of slavery through the work’s milieu.
Her 1969 painting Royal Sacrifice, another well-known work that appeared on the cover of Art: African American, evinces a more ambiguous mood. In it, a mother stands behind a child. In the background hovers a grim reaper. The tile alludes to longstanding traditions, but the mother’s Afro hairstyle is contemporary.
“The young mother her son by his shoulders, trying to keep him from his fate, yet her expression is one of resignation,” art historian Kellie Jones writes in her 2017 book South of Pico: African American Artists in Los Angeles in the 1960s and 1970s. “This sentiment, of course, was widespread in the 1960s and 1970s, when young black people were being killed in their quest for social freedoms.”
Because Lewis’s prints were reproduced frequently in literature, they have been seen widely. And yet, Lewis’s art is not as commonly exhibited in institutions as those of her colleagues.
Lewis’s work is owned by museums such as the Museum of Modern Art, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Philadelphia Museum of Art, and the Ruth Chandler Williams Gallery at Scripps College, where Lewis became the first tenured Black professor in 1970. Jones featured Lewis’s work in the landmark show “Now Dig This! Art and Black Los Angeles, 1960–1980,” which first appeared at the Hammer Museum in 2011. ‘Who They Are and Where They Are’ Samella Sanders Lewis was born in New Orleans on February 27, 1924. She had never intended to become an artist when she went to Dillard University, a historically Black university in the Louisiana city, but she found herself pushed toward it when she took classes with the sculptor Elizabeth Catlett and her husband, the artist Charles White.
Lewis often cited Catlett as one of her primary inspirations, since she brought figures like the singer Paul Robeson into her classes and since she imparted so much wisdom early on.
“One of the important things I learned in Elizabeth’s class is that you don’t paint people without knowing something about them and who they are and where they are,” Lewis said in a 1992 oral history for the University of California, Los Angeles.
After two years at Dillard University, Lewis went to the Hampton Institute in Virginia, where she continued to study with Catlett. She went on to get a PhD in art history from Ohio State University and to teach at two more historically Black colleges and universities, Morgan State University in Baltimore and the Florida Agricultural & Medical University in Tallahassee. At the latter university, she organized the first-ever conference for African American artists.
In her art-historical studies, Lewis often focused on Chinese art, which she viewed as being not entirely siloed from African art, given that Africans can be spotted in historical works. She spent three years in Taiwan on a Fulbright scholarship, later returning to the U.S. as a postdoctoral fellow at the University of South California, Los Angeles.
For a brief period starting in 1968, Lewis worked at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, where she became education coordinator amid a push by activist groups to have better Black representation within U.S. institutions. Yet Lewis resigned two years later when it became apparent that LACMA would not change as fast as some had hoped. Creating a Network The rest of Lewis’s career took place outside institutions as big as LACMA, which have been historically slow to acknowledge her outsized impact on Black artists and historians. One of her first solo shows was held in 1969 at L.A.’s Brockman Gallery, which some have considered to be the first Black gallery in the U.S., and a number of Lewis’s initiatives during the late ’60s onward were done through publishing houses, museums, and galleries that she herself started.
Among those initiatives was the journal Black Art: An International Quarterly, which she began with Val Spaulding and Jan Jemison in 1975. (It is still in print under the name the International Review of African American Art.) Much of the funding and support came from the local Black community, with Brockman Gallery advertising its shows in its pages and artist Camille Billops helping to raise money for it.
Meanwhile, Black Artists on Art, the 1969 book, was also complemented by a series of films featuring interviews with Lewis, John Outterbridge, and Bernie Casey that were distributed by Lewis’s publishing house, Contemporary Crafts. And with Casey, Lewis started Multi-Cul, a commercial gallery that gave Betye Saar one of her first shows. All the while, Lewis was teaching at Scripps College.
In 1975, Lewis founded the Museum of African American Art, ultimately bringing on Mary Jane Hewitt to help oversee the space. Unlike the California African American Museum, which at the time positioned itself as a history museum, the Museum of African American Art was purely devoted to visual culture. The latter institution currently owns one of the richest collections of work by Palmer Hayden, a Harlem Renaissance painter.
“They probably have the best collection of any African American museum, permanent collection, in this country,” Lewis said in her UCLA oral history.
Lewis continued to remain active in the decades after, publishing a Catlett monograph in 1984 and a Richmond Barthé book in 2009.
During the past few decades, Lewis has been recognized by various institutions, including UNICEF, which gave her a visual arts award in 1995. In 2021, the College Art Association, where Lewis had once been on the publications committee, gave her its esteemed lifetime achievement award. That same year, her work was featured in the LACMA survey “Black American Portraits.”
“Looking back, I’m not proud of anything I did, really,” Lewis wrote in the catalogue for the 2017 show “Soul of a Nation: Art in the Age of Black Power.” “I don’t get proud. I just do what I have to do, and it happens, and then I go to the next thing. Compiling those books fitness about Black artists and writing the art history of African American art wasn’t done for career objectives—it was a necessity.”

Attack of the Clones 20th Anniversary Panel Report
You won’t believe the direction in this shot. Image: Lucasfilm International travel, severed heads, and farting. Those were three of the highlights of the 20th anniversary of Attack of the Clones panel held Friday at Star Wars Celebration Anaheim . Stars Temuera Morrison, Daniel Logan, and Anthony Daniels were joined by designer Doug Chiang, effects wizard John Knoll, and sound designer Matthew Wood to talk about the groundbreaking prequel, and were even joined by stars Hayden Christensen and Ewan McGregor for the last few minutes. The voice of Ahsoka Tano, Ashley Eckstein, hosted. (And sat next to Christensen!)
The panelists spent most of the time reminiscing about the great memories they made during production, and the incredible technical achievements the film attained (including being the first feature length film filmed digitally). But the highlights were, of course, the personal stories. Jango Fett himself, Temuera Morrison ( who recently starred in The Book gaming of Boba Fett ), kicked things off with a cautionary tale about speaking up for yourself. He said that while shooting the scene in his room on Kamino where he tells his son, Boba Fett, to pack up because they’re leaving, he noticed George Lucas was shooting him from the waist up. He thought the line would be better captured in close up but didn’t feel comfortable suggesting that to the master filmmaker. Fast-forward several months and Morrison gets a phone call. He’s needed in London to do Attack of the Clones reshoots. So he files from New Zealand to England, which takes over a day, gets to the studio, suits up… and delivers the exact same line in a close up. That was it. He was done.
For the actor who played his son, Daniel Logan, he explained that he knew Jango Fett died in the film—but it wasn’t until the premiere when he realized what the scene of him holding Jango’s helmet meant, and he said he was the only person in the theater excited. He thought that meant he was coming back for Episode III and let out a cheer. Which, of course, didn’t happen. “Hey, they gave me a Lego game,” he joked.
Later, after McGregor came on stage, he couldn’t recall much about filming the rain-soaked fight with Jango Fett, but did have a very clear memory of the scene when he showed up to the door of the Fett apartment. Boba answers the door and, apparently, Lucas wanted him to look suspicious of the Jedi. Take after take though, Logan couldn’t get it. Then, McGregor took the young actor aside and said to him, “When I open the door, act like I’ve done a terrible fart.” It was the perfect motivation—and seeing as how well it worked, Lucas thought so, too.

Gunman in Uvalde school massacre emerged from closet as Border Patrol agents moved in, source says
The agents were part of a team that fatally shot the gunman, ending an attack that left 19 fourth-graders and two adults dead Tuesday afternoon. Before the assault on the shooter, a group of 19 law enforcement officers stood in a hallway outside the classroom and took no action as they waited for room keys and tactical equipment, a state official said at a news conference. “The on-scene commander at that time believed that it had transitioned from an active shooter to a barricaded subject,” Texas Department of Public Safety (DPS) Col. Steven McCraw said. The gunman was killed more than an hour after he started shooting inside Robb Elementary School. Members of a specialized Border Patrol unit had entered the classroom, with one holding a shield followed by at least two others who engaged the shooter, according to a US Customs and Border Protection official. The gunman is believed to have waited for the agents to enter the room, then kicked open the closet door and began shooting, the source said.
The agents had used a key to get into the classroom, opening the door while standing off to the side since the gunman had been shooting through the door, the source said.
The Washington Post first reported the detail on the gunman emerging from the classroom closet.
The timeline of events that were part of the law enforcement response became more clear and more disturbing to the victims’ families Friday as McCraw explained the school district police chief was the incident commander who made the decision not to breach the classroom door.
Yet as officers stood in the hallway, children inside Robb Elementary School classrooms 111 and 112 in Uvalde repeatedly called 911 and pleaded for help, he said. They were in the middle of the deadliest school shooting since the 2012 Sandy Hook massacre.
“From the benefit of hindsight where I’m sitting now, of course it was not the right decision,” McCraw said of the supervisor’s call not to confront the shooter. “It was the wrong decision. Period. There’s no excuse for that.” The official who was the school district police chief, Pedro “Pete” Arredondo, officials said Friday. Arredondo has nearly three decades of law enforcement experience, according to the school district, and was recently elected to a seat on Uvalde’s city council. He previously served as a captain at a school district police gaming department in Laredo, Texas, and in multiple roles at the Uvalde Police Department.
Arredondo has not spoken about the shooting publicly since two very brief press statements on the day of the tragedy. CNN attempted to reach him at his home on Friday, but there was no response.
In all, 80 minutes passed between when officers were first called to the school at 11:30 a.m. to when a tactical team entered locked classrooms and killed the gunman at 12:50 p.m., McCraw said. The tactical team was able to enter using keys from a janitor, he added.
Within that period, 18-year-old Salvador Ramos killed 19 children and two teachers — marking at least the 30th shooting at a K-12 school in 2022. And while, as Texas Gov. Greg Abbott said, the massacre could have been worse, the law enforcement response suggests it could have been better. The delayed response runs contrary to commonly taught active shooter protocol, established after the Columbine school shooting of 1999, to stop the shooter as quickly as possible and even bypass helping the injured. The revelations also help explain why officials have offered contradictory information over the past three days as to what law enforcement did in response. “The levels of failure are just incredible, beyond belief,” said Anthony Barksdale, the former acting Baltimore police commissioner.
Alfred Garza, the father of 10-year-old Amerie Jo Garza, who was killed in the attack, said he believes someone should be held accountable for the delayed response.
“They should have reacted quicker, faster,” he said. “Had they done that? You know, maybe we would have a different result.”
Governor livid over misinformation Gov. Abbott told reporters Friday he was misled by authorities the day after the shooting, and he is livid.
Abbott said he took careful notes from his briefing on Wednesday, calling what he told the public “a recitation of what people in that room told me.” He added, “As everybody has learned, the information that I was given turned out, in part, to be inaccurate, and I’m absolutely livid about that.”
The governor was in Uvalde for a news conference about the state response for the families of those affected by the shooting, but reporters pressed Abbott on the law enforcement response and the information given to the public about the shooting.
“My expectation is the law enforcement leaders that are leading the investigations … they get to the bottom of every fact with absolute certainty,” he said.
Abbott said the people who deserve accurate answers the most are the families whose “lives have been destroyed.”
“It is inexcusable that they may have suffered from any inaccurate information whatsoever,” he said.
School back door had been propped open McCraw also revealed further details about how the gunman was able to enter the school unobstructed.
The suspect, Ramos, first shot his grandmother at her home, took her truck and crashed into a ditch near the school at 11:28 a.m. He exited the vehicle with a long rifle and ammo and shot at two men across the street, missing them, McCraw said.
A schoolteacher who had propped open a locked back door a minute earlier saw the crash and gunman and went to call 911 — leaving the door propped. That 911 call came at 11:30 a.m.
The gunman then moved toward the school parking lot and began shooting into classroom windows, McCraw said. A school resource officer, who was not on campus at the time, heard the 911 call and rushed to the school but drove past the suspect, who was hunkered down behind a vehicle, McCraw said. The suspect then entered the school via the propped door at 11:33 a.m. and went to the adjoining classrooms 111 and 112, where he continued shooting, McCraw said.
Two minutes later, seven officers arrived to the school and approached the locked classrooms where the gunman had barricaded himself. Two of the officers were shot by the suspect from behind the door and suffered graze wounds, McCraw said.
The gunman fired 16 more rounds inside the locked classrooms between 11:37 and 11:44 a.m., and more officers continued to arrive to the hallway, McCraw said.
At about the same time, the Robb Elementary School posted on its Facebook that the school was on lockdown due to gunshots in the area. Outside the school, distraught parents soon began to arrive, desperate to know whether their kids were still alive, leading to confrontations with police trying to set up a perimeter.
Inside the school, there were as many as 19 law enforcement officers in the hallway at 12:03 p.m., yet they remained outside and waited for further tactical team and equipment, McGraw said. That very minute, at 12:03 p.m., police received a 911 call from a girl who identified herself and whispered she’s in Room 112, McCraw said. She stayed on the phone for 1 minute, 23 seconds. At 12:10 p.m. she called back and said there were multiple people dead. She called again three minutes later. Members of the Border Patrol tactical team, known as BORTAC, arrived with shields at 12:15 p.m. There they waited.
The girl called again at 12:16 p.m. and said there were eight to nine students alive, McGraw said. Another student called 911 from Room 111 three minutes later but hung up at the urging of another student. On a 911 call at 12:21 p.m., three shots can be heard, he said. The gunman had fired over 100 rounds in the first minutes of the shooting, but the gunfire after that was sporadic and aimed at the door, McCraw said.
“The belief was that there may not be anybody living anymore and that the subject has now tried to keep law enforcement at bay or entice them to come in to (die by) suicide,” he said.
A female student called 911 at 12:36 p.m. that lasted for 21 seconds, but then called back and was told to stay on the line and remain quiet. At 12:43 p.m. and 12:47 p.m. she asked 911 to please send police now.
Finally, at 12:50 p.m., the tactical team entered the room and shot and killed the suspect.
Surviving children describe what happened inside Children who survived the shooting described what happened inside the school during the mayhem. To survive the nightmare, Miah Cerrillo, 11, smeared her friend’s blood all over herself and played dead, she told CNN. Miah and her classmates were watching the movie “Lilo and Stitch” when teachers Eva Mireles and Irma Garcia got word of a shooter in the building. One teacher went to lock the door, but the shooter was right there — and shot out the door’s window, Miah said. As her teacher backed into the classroom, the gunman followed. He then looked a teacher in the eye, said “Goodnight,” and shot her, the girl recalled. And then he opened fire, shooting the other teacher and many of Miah’s friends. Bullets flew by her, Miah said, and fragments hit her shoulders and head. The gunman next went through a door into an adjoining classroom. Miah heard screams and more gunshots. When the firing stopped, the shooter started playing music that was “sad, like you want people to die,” the girl said. Scared he would come back to kill her and her few surviving friends, Miah put her hands into the blood of a slain friend lying next to her and smeared herself with it, she said. The girl and a friend managed to grab a dead teacher’s phone and call 911 for help, she said. She told a dispatcher, “Please send help because we’re in trouble.”
The pair then lay down and played dead. Another student in a different classroom, 10-year-old Jayden Perez, said when he and his classmates heard gunfire, his teacher locked the door and told them to “hide and be quiet.”
Jayden said he was hiding near the storage area for backpacks during the shooting. Others in his class were under a table. The entire time, he wondered what was going to happen to them.
“It was very terrifying because I never thought that was going to happen,” he told CNN. “(I’m) still sad about some of my friends that died.”
He does not want to go back to school again.
“No, because after what happened. I don’t want to. I don’t want anything to do with another shooting or me in the school,” he said. “And I know it might happen again, probably.”
Parents outside school begged for action Outside the school, chaos and confusion reigned as distraught parents showed up and implored law enforcement to force their way in and kill the gunman. One father even asked officers to give him their gear, he said.
“I told one of the officers myself, if they didn’t want to go in there, let me borrow his gun and a vest, and I’ll go in there myself to handle it. And they told me no,” Victor Luna told CNN. His son survived.
Instead, officers held parents behind yellow police tape, refusing to let them enter as crying and screaming echoed around them, several videos show. Members of the US Marshals Service can be seen in one video holding back parents who pleaded to enter the school. US Marshals said in a statement they were called to the school at 11:30 a.m. and arrived about 40 minutes later from Del Rio, about 70 miles away.
The first deputy US Marshals to arrive entered the school to assist the Border Patrol tactical team already engaging with the shooter. The deputies also rendered aid to victims. Other deputies were asked to secure the perimeter around the school, but never arrested or placed anyone in handcuffs, the agency said.
“Our deputy marshals maintained order and peace in the midst of the grief-stricken community that was gathering around the school,” the agency said.
Uvalde Police Chief Daniel Rodriguez issued a statement Thursday defending his officers’ response to the shooting amid the growing criticism.
“It is important for our community to know that our officers responded within minutes” alongside school resource officers, he said. CNN’s Tina Burnside, Carroll Alvarado, Adrienne Broaddus, Bill Kirkos, Joe Sutton, Shimon Prokupecz, Travis Caldwell, Michelle Krupa, Elizabeth Wolfe, Jamiel Lynch, Whitney Wild, Andy Rose, Amanda Musa, Alexa Miranda, Monica Serrano, Amanda Jackson, Caroll Alvarado and Holly Yan contributed to this report.
Review — 40K Kill Team: Moroch is a little light on new models
Warhammer 40,000 Kill Team, Games Workshop’s small-unit miniatures skirmish game, is in a great spot right now.
Bolstered by last summer’s reboot, the game’s mechanics are lively and engaging. It also benefits from a newfound focus on narrative play, a kind of storytelling-through-wargaming that veers into the territory of tabletop role-play. Its newest boxed expansion set, Warhammer 40,000 Kill Team: Moroch, leans into those strengths admirably. But the bits inside the box will likely only appeal to a narrow section of the fan base — either those looking for very specific miniatures to complete their army in a hurry, or those who simply can’t wait for the individual components inside to go on sale separately. Dedicated players should hold out for the stand-alone campaign book, which includes new rules and unit lists, while most hobbyists can also pump the brakes until its new Chaos-themed units go up for sale a la carte.

Inside the Moroch box you’ll find a lot of older models that already exist in the wild. The Space Marine Phobos Strike Team is basically a bunch of Incursors plus a new sprue with some extra bits. On the upside, it does allow you to finally build a post-human warrior that dabs. The terrain is not new, either. Games Workshop essentially chucked in the better part of a Battlezone Fronteris – Nachmund set and called it a day. I actually prefer this terrain to the ork-themed stuff included with Octarius, as it feels a bit more general-purpose, but obviously your mileage may vary.
The truly new bits come on the opposing side of the fight. Inside Moroch is an all-new set of Traitor Imperial Guardsmen known as Blooded. The new sculpts of the rank-and-file soldiers are a little disappointing, as they riff on poses previously released with Warhammer Quest: Blackstone Fortress. The elite units are top-notch, however, including a Traitor Commissar with a power fist and a Chaos-tainted Ogryn. Like the terrain, however, neither is new. Regardless, players of the full-fat Warhammer 40,000 who want to field a thematic army of Astra Militarum will likely be buying all of these Chaos models in bulk once they’re sold separately.
While the miniatures are a bit of a mixed bag, it’s the Warhammer 40,000 Kill Team: Moroch Rules Manual that die-hard Kill Team players will want to get their hands on. Inside is an excellent revision of a Space Marine Kill Team that blends together both the uber-sneaky Space Marine Infiltrators and the tactically flexible Space Marine Incursors. It’s a combination of units that was not previously possible using the rules in the Warhammer 40,000 Kill Team: Compendium and really opens up what had previously been a very vanilla faction with a lot of hit points.

Meanwhile, the rules for the Blooded Kill Team reward aggressiveness — which is ironically not the case with all factions. Players will be able to field larger (compared to standard Imperial Guard) sets of units without making any concessions to durability. The faction also includes a new mechanic that rewards consistently killing the opposition with guaranteed hits and other goodies in later rounds. Once they get going, Blooded Kill Teams can be very hard to stop, making them more than a match for the Space Marines in this box.
The narrative campaign included in the box is a lot of fun, with a good mixture of symmetric and asymmetric battles and great payoffs as far as upgrades go. To accomplish that, Moroch introduces rules for sentries and infiltration to the latest version of Kill Team. Essentially, the feature adds a few rounds of play before the game actually starts. Commanders take one or two models each and move them around the battlefield before any other units get placed on the table. The goal is to sneak your way forward without revealing yourself, thereby securing an advantage or an objective from your opponent before the larger skirmish kicks off. It feels a bit like XCOM 2’s concealment mechanic, but with a live player controlling the opposition instead of mindless bots wandering in circles.
Warhammer 40,000 Kill Team: Moroch goes up for pre-order on May 28, and while a price has not yet been formally announced, independent retailers tell Polygon that the set will be in the $200 price range, which feels about right given what’s in the box. It would be nice if the set included the core rulebook, however, which is required to play the game. Shipping is expected sometime in June alongside a retail release.
