Amid an alarming global rise in antisemitism, it is more critical than ever for us to learn the lessons of the Holocaust. This International #HolocaustRemembranceDay, join the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum in paying tribute to the victims and survivors. www.ushmm.org/remember/int...

Trump's intentional avalanche of garbage Just because we knew the deluge was coming...doesn't make it any less alarming to behold

"If it feels like an insurmountable amount of garbage is being dumped on us, that's by design. Itโ€™s creating such an avalanche of disappointment that we're left feeling disheartened, disillusioned, and discouraged. He wants us to become so numb to injustice that it becomes our new normal."

You think it canโ€™t get more disgusting or craven and then you hear that Trump has told ICE agents to โ€œdress for the cameras,โ€œ and has Dr. Phil along with them.

A bird's-eye view of a former Auschwitz II-Birkenau camp showing a wide dirt pathway flanked by parallel rows of barbed-wire fences. Groups of visitors walk along the path, surrounded by the remnants of brick structures and barracks, now reduced to foundations. Green grass contrasts with the somber history of the site, as the path leads toward a guard tower in the distance.

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.

Times like this reveal everyone's character.

Never forget the people who giddily collaborated with fascists.

Also, never forget the people who would rather die than bend the knee.

Idaho Lawmakers Want Supreme Court to Overturn Same-Sex Marriage Decision (Gift Article) A state legislative committee has advanced a resolution asking that the power to regulate marriage be returned to the states.

Remember when you thought SCOTUS wouldn't overturn Roe v Wade?

Well, now Idaho is asking SCOTUS to overturn Obergefell, the case that makes same-sex marriage legal

Thereโ€™s a psychological concept called โ€œstereotype vulnerabilityโ€, which is where a member of a minority group is subject to additional pressure due to the possibility that their behavior or performance will reflect not just on their own reputation, but on the minority group to which they belong.
