Auschwitz was at the end of a long process. It did not start from gas chambers.

This hatred was gradually developed by humans. From ideas, words, stereotypes & prejudice through legal exclusion, dehumanization & escalating violence... to systematic and industrial murder.

Zuckerberg shamelessly kowtowing to Trump today shows that we have moved from the "Influential Americans Strolling Towards Fascism" to the "Influential Americans Elbowing Each Other Out of the Way Towards Fascism" chapter in our nation's dangerous story.

I am remaining outwardly civil but know that there are a number of people that I want to grab by the shoulders and shake, while shouting “JUST WHAT WERE YOU THINKING!”
