Auschwitz was at the end of a process. We must remember that it did not start from gas chambers.
This hatred gradually developed: from ideas, words, stereotypes & prejudice through legal exclusion, dehumanization & escalating violence... to systematic and industrial murder.
Auschwitz took time.

France announced today it’s phasing out Teams, Zoom, etc. to be replaced with a French/European solution called Visio. The data is hosted on Outscale. Transcripts and subtitles are also handled by French providers. The target is set on 2027 for government agencies.

The people of Minnesota have executed one of the most impressive civil resistance campaigns I can remember:
- Organized a city wide general strike
- Maintained nonviolent discipline amidst violence
- Mobilized 10,000s in subzero temps to protest and watch ICE
- Flipped public opinion against ICE

Homeland Security doesn’t like it when we call ICE and Border Patrol “the Gestapo.”
So let’s set the Gestapo aside. Instead I’ll use this thread to compare Trump’s thugs to other secret police and terror squads from different times and places. It’s tyranny, no matter where it comes from. 1/10🧵🧵🧵🧵🧵

I guess they didn't really want to get criminals off the streets.
CBP chief Bovino has confirmed that the officers who executed Alex Pretti in the street yesterday are not only *not on administrative leave,* they have all been reassigned to other jurisdictions and are all on the street today.
This is totally unheard of for any officer-involved shooting

The Washington Post published a clear video of federal agents removing Alex Pretti's handgun moments before he was fatally shot. There's nothing in the video to suggest Pretti even reached for his weapon.

💥She could be Hungary’s next foreign minister: Anita Orbán (no relation to Viktor) — a diplomat and energy expert before Hungary’s pro-Kremlin turn, author of “Power, Energy, and the New Russian Imperialism,” and ex Cheniere, Tellurian & Vodafone exec — is opposition leader Péter Magyar's pick.

There you have it, the Board of Peace is nothing more than a corrupt real estate deal dressed up as diplomacy with the sole purpose of enriching Trump and his favoured cronies.
Trump makes concluding remarks. He says Gaza ceasefire push began because he is “a real estate person at heart, and it’s all about location, and I said, ‘look at this location, on the sea, look at this beautiful piece of property’”.

Hongrie: «Je suis très honoré», Viktor Orban accepte de rejoindre le «Conseil de la paix» de Donald Trump
Donald Trump a invité une centaine de dirigeants à siéger dans un « Conseil de la paix », qu’il présiderait lui-même. Ce Conseil aurait pour objectif d’œuvrer à la résolution des conflits dans le monde, et d’empiéter sur les plates-bandes de l’ONU, bête noire du locataire de la Maison Blanche. Le Premier ministre hongrois Viktor Orban, grand admirateur du président républicain, a été le premier à répondre « oui » avec enthousiasme à cette invitation.
