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.

Most immigrants Trump targets have been here 10+ years, paying taxes, raising families, contributing to our communities.

Mass deportation would devastate our economy and tear apart the social fabric of America.

Even if he weren’t a right-wing quack who got famous hawking snake oil on TV, Mehmet Oz would be utterly unqualified to run CMS.

He’s trained as a surgeon. He knows jack about administering complex programs that provide health insurance to 100 million elderly, disabled, and/or low-income people.

Now that OJ is gone, her NDA is no longer valid. This is her personal account of OJ’s lawyers paying off USC to keep mum and why that spurred her to change her major in college.

A 1960 Kennedy Campaign Ad Is Rebooted for R.F.K. Jr. American Values 2024, the super PAC supporting Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s presidential campaign, paid $7 million for a Super Bowl spot.

That catchy jingle you heard from your TV just before halftime at the Super Bowl was an ad supporting Robert Kennedy Jr. running for president, and was essentially a reboot of an ad supporting his uncle John F. Kennedy in his 1960 presidential campaign.

A picture of pink lilies with a giant black X over them.

It's almost Valentine's Day so it's my yearly reminder that lilies are DEADLY to cats. Every single part of the lily. Even the tiniest sniff of pollen will send a cat into kidney failure within an hour. Lilies are a death sentence. If you have cats DO NOT have lilies in your home!
