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 process. We must remember that it did not start from gas chambers.
This hatred gradually developed: from ideas, words, stereotypes & prejudice through legal exclusion, dehumanization & escalating violence... to systematic and industrial murder.
Auschwitz took time.
To be fair these sycophants kind of are sicko fans

This is outrageous - we are supposed to be a free Republic and these people want an authoritarian police state. Lawsuits should be filed & ranking Dems in Congress should act.

We can't allow ourselves to look away from this cruelty. Abolish ICE.
They hide their faces because they know what they do is shameful and they are too cowardly to face it

Watching @flintdibble.bsky.social's video about the mess with Rogan put a lot of pseudoarcheaology debunking videos into my recs, and I'm trying to wrap my head around the idea of claiming the pyramids weren't tombs when there was a strange period of Europeans eating bits of mummies as "medicine."

Between the holidays last month and the utter insanity that has been 2026 so far, it was easy to miss this fun interview with @flintdibble.bsky.social about how archaeology can be used for interrogating the legends of Robin Hood! πΉβοΈπ

"When it happens, Republicans will object (and you can only imagine the meltdown Trump himself will have on Truth Social). The response Dems give should be simple: *Too bad. We have the power now.* A strong message must be sent to the country and future generations that Trump will not be honored."
