๐ŸŒน Love is wanting someone to be safe.

Today, Iโ€™m thinking of friends who fall asleep to sirens,
who text โ€œweโ€™re okayโ€ in the middle of the night,
or call to say โ€œweโ€™re backโ€ from the safe house.

Holding ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ฆ close this Valentineโ€™s Day.
If you can, turn love into support.

And someone dared to suggest that remembering them is a โ€œviolation.โ€

Remembrance is not a violation.

Supporting ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ฆ is not about choosing sides.

From the campsโ€™ registers to our streets, his name survived: Alfred, resistant, deported, murdered #OTD in 1945.

The earth there remembers what happens when a people are marked for annihilation.

#HolocaustRemembranceDay is not only about the past. Today, Ukrainians are targeted because their right to exist is denied.

Memory fails if it does not shape our choices.

Itโ€™s not loud or flashy, but it lasts. Donors and volunteers around @69thsb.bsky.social have delivered 900+ trucks to the front since 2022.
