Under the cold glow of the Champs-Élysées, Nawell Madani walks with a closed expression. This photo, above all, tells the story of a celebrity's solitude captured by the public eye. It is in this bright and mundane setting that an action, in just a few seconds, potentially falls under the Penal Code regarding violence against minors. The image here conveys the ambivalence between visibility and vulnerability.

Donald Trump, President of the United States, alongside the late Charlie Kirk, founder of Turning Point USA. On September 17, 2025, Trump announced his intention to classify Antifa as a terrorist organization during a state visit to the United Kingdom. This announcement came a week after the assassination of Kirk in Orem, Utah, who was elevated to the status of a martyr by the White House to justify a tightening of domestic security. This political move has a disputed legal scope: federal law does not provide for the designation of domestic entities, risking a clash with the freedoms protected by the First Amendment.
