8/ Wiggins says that the gravedigging was so traumatising that no one talked during the day, except for the few who would pray over the graves and some who quietly cried.

4/ One of those roles was burying the dead, a highly traumatic duty as many of the bodies were severely mutilated. The cemetery was constructed by the 960th Quartermaster Service Company, an all-Black unit of 260 men under the command of a White officer (as was usual).

3/ One of the two panels described how a million African-Americans volunteered for service during World War II, but had to fight against both the enemy and racism on their own side, including segregation within the army itself that confined many to supporting roles.

2/ The Dutch newspaper reports that two memorial panels installed at the NAC were removed some time earlier this year. They commemorated African-American soldiers who helped liberate Europe from German occupation during World War II.

Relatedly anyone suspended from Nextdoor? They allowed tons of snti-Mamdani stuff but shut down anti-Trump stuff. It's very clear what's happening over there.

Palestinians have long known the true nature of the New York Times.
Unfun fact: the NYT's Jerusalem Bureau is in yet another stolen Palestinian home. The NYT bought it from the Israelis who stole it.
The rightful Palestinian owner was a journalist himself.

Ghada Karmi visits the ‘New York Times’ reporter in her former house in Jerusalem
When NYT’s Jodi Rudoren spoke to the Jewish Community Center in NY, no one asked about the house she lives in in Jerusalem, which a Palestinian family once lived in. But this is all Palestinians think...
