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.

Auschwitz took time.

Please remember that this administration is not “the government.” They are not governing. The government is not the bad guy. Trump and the oligarchs are the bad guys. They are dismantling “the government.”

It was always bullshit.
A former FBI informant has agreed to plead guilty to lying about President Biden and his son Hunter taking a bribe from a Ukrainian oligarch, as well as other federal charges, according to a court filing on Thursday.
Ex-FBI Informant Alexander Smirnov Agrees to Plead Guilty to Lying About Bidens
Alexander Smirnov’s deal with the special counsel overseeing the investigation into Hunter Biden could lead to 48 to 72 months in prison, though a federal judge would need to review the deal.

There’s no such thing as working productively with MAGA nihilists like Elon, Vivek and RFK, Jr. They want to bring down our Republic. Don’t normalize them by pointing out a few of their good ideas.

You can’t play nice with the leopards. Let them into your house and they will eat your face.

It shouldn’t be ignored that Kash Patel chose to plead the Fifth in response to a grand jury subpoena over the Mar-a-Lago classified documents.

He only testified, involuntarily, after being granted immunity.

Think about that. Trump’s FBI nominee pled the Fifth in response to a DOJ subpoena.

the frenzy over the hunter biden pardon is a good reminder that the press knows how to make something a scandal and has decided that nothing trump does is truly deserving of that treatment

Maybe it’s me, maybe I’m old fashioned, but I’m pretty sure our president shouldn’t be a rapist, our DNI shouldn’t be on a TSA watchlist list and our head of counterintelligence should probably be able to pass a background check.

Right?

Honeybee by Craig Silvey is a moving book which opened my eyes to the LGBTQ experience. I want to read other books that broaden my horizon and let me walk in someone else's shoes.
