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.

LIVE: Local news crew captures fire tornado in LA.
The largest of the LA fires, in Palisades, is still only 8% contained.
Local news station KTLA 5 captured this fire tornado on its northern flank, funnelling flames hundreds of feet into the air.

We expect that some 50 Auschwitz Survivors will come to the Memorial for the 80th anniversary of the liberation.
The eyes and ears of the world should rest upon them.
We must safeguard their voices from silence, distortion, or being overshadowed.

Seriously. I sue drug companies, you don't have to tell me they suck, nor explain to me the risks of pharmaceuticals.
But vaccines are different, they're like stealing fire from the Gods and burning plagues with it. Their benefit/risk ratio is downright magical.

Jan 6th was a violent attack on our country, not a “day of love.” The truth is well documented, witnessed by dozens of GOP officials, it’s up to us to defend it against the relentless lies. My latest:

THREAD: In 2023, I received an envelope with no return address. Inside was a flash drive containing tens of 1000s of secret files.
It came from a vigilante with a tumultuous past, who'd conducted a years-long undercover operation. He didn’t tell the FBI or his family. He only told me.

RFK Jr. has said time and time again that he wants to ban the polio vaccine, citing no evidence and going against the advice of medical
professionals. And Trump? He says he's not for mandates. Translated: he's not for laws about vaccines. Which means lots of people getting polio.

One after another, the billionaire media and social media bosses - Bezos, Zuckerberg, Soon-Shiong, Benioff - bend the knee to Trump. No wonder Trump himself is bragging about having "tamed" the US media. For once, he's not lying.

If you want to understand why healthcare pricing is horrific, the first thing to know is that our system puts 100% of the credit risk for deductibles, copays and co-insurance on hospitals and doctors. That's insane.

Democrats follow norms and the constitution. Republicans bust norms and the constitution. That’s life. When Dem President Biden pardons his son from abuse by a future Trump DOJ, the NYT is livid and disgusted. When Trump abuses everything the NYT only finds him unprincipled. Maybe we need new norms?

Bolton: It's going to be very interesting to see what the files that may be uncovered in the Syrian government, if the rebels succeed in capturing Damascus, what they show about a number of Americans.

It isn't the format, it's the hosts. People are done with the tepid both-sides approach of legacy media. That is why independent media and YouTube are growing and legacy outlets are shrinking.
One of my boring media hobbyhorses: People have tuned out of the modern Sunday show format (one host, multiple guests, panel) and whoever brings back the classic format (three reporters and one guest for 60 minutes) will get a big W.

Trump reiterated this morning on Meet the Press that he intends to end birthright citizenship. When told the 14th Amendment says all persons born in the US are citizens, he said, “Well, we’re going to have it changed. We have to end it.”
