If you think Nick Fuentes is right about Hitler, Nazis, and the Holocaust, you should spend some time and read, The Boys in the Light: An Extraordinary World War II Story of Survival, Faith, and Brotherhood

a vertical shot of a placid, cloudy day. on the left, a barren tree reaches up to the overcast sky. on the right, a boxy white food truck has parked with its little window propped open for business. you can just make out the word “pizza” in black curly lettering on the front of the truck. in the center of the photo, sitting squarely in the middle of a green bike lane, a rather large dog that resembles a golden retriever or great pyrenees is sitting patiently in profile, staring expectantly at the food truck’s window while basking in the glow of its lights.
This dog was spotted politely waiting by a pizza truck. He doesn’t have to say what he wants. They already know his order. It is pizza. 13/10 (IG: lauren.bardini)
