Trump said he wants to “clean out” Gaza and push the millions of Palestinians living there into neighboring countries.

There is a name for this — ethnic cleansing — and it’s a war crime.

This outrageous idea should be condemned by every American.

Trump says to ‘clean out’ Gaza, urges Arab countries to take more refugees

#Auschwitz was liberated 80 years ago today. Sometimes 80 years doesn't seem like such a long time (and I'm sure I don't need to tell you that #antisemitism is very much with us today). BBC's continuing live coverage, including speeches by survivors: www.bbc.com/news/live/c5...

Auschwitz-Birkenau: Desperate cries haunt me to this day, Auschwitz survivor says

On the 80th anniversary of the death camp's liberation, one of the youngest survivors Tova Friedman addresses the commemoration in Poland.

Bebelplatz book burning memorial in Berlin. The empty shelves reflect a past we must never repeat. Censorship and repression still threaten knowledge and progress. Let’s defend the power of ideas.

Standing before the remnants of the Berlin Wall, I couldn’t help but reflect on how division and walls—physical and ideological—still shape our world today. Remember walls may fall, but unity and freedom must be continuously fought for. #BerlinWall #HistoryLessons #FreedomMatters #LearnFromHistory

A grim but essential memory: 80 years ago today Auschwitz was liberated. That there was an Auschwitz to liberate is unspeakably tragic. . .

During my trip to Warsaw, I visited the Warsaw Uprising Monument—a powerful tribute to the resilience and courage of those who fought for freedom during World War II. Remember that unity and determination can overcome even the darkest times.

The Hegseth confirmation shows that Republican lawmakers have put party over country. They should be ashamed, but I doubt if they are.

It’s Sunday, and here’s a painting I started over two years ago with so much enthusiasm and… well, here we are. Always pushed aside for other projects and STILL unfinished. Maybe today’s the day?

I really hope other countries don’t follow our path of MAGA. Once you open that door, it’s hard to close—especially when it’s being held open by conspiracy theories and bad reality TV logic. #Politics #MAGA #LessonsFromAmerica #DemocracyMatters

Owning a cat is a lot like having an eccentric millionaire roommate— they demand the finest food, ignore you unless they need something, and occasionally sprint through the house like they’ve seen a ghost. #CatsOfBlueSky #CatLogic #SendHelp #ILiveWithRoyalty

Hey, does anyone know if we can return 2025 for a better version? I’m still within the 30-day trial period, and honestly, I think I got a defective one. The settings are weird, the pacing is off, and the supporting cast seems confused. Asking for a friend… and myself. 🤔 #ReturnPolicy #2025Vibes

Being a cat owner is basically living with a tiny, judgmental roommate who contributes nothing to the rent, insists on 3 AM zoomies, and stares at you like you’re the disappointment in the relationship.

A record 47 percent of the European Union’s electricity now comes from solar and other renewables, a report Thursday said, in yet another sign of the growing gap between the bloc’s push for clean energy and the new U.S. administration’s pursuit of more fossil fuels.

While Trump pursues more fossil fuels, Europe posts a record year for renewable energy use

Nearly three-quarters of the EU's electricity doesn't emit planet-warming gases into the air.

Starting a new art project is all fun and games until you realize… you’re in too deep. Suddenly, you’re covered in paint, questioning your life choices, and wondering if art supplies have a vendetta against you. But hey, at least it’s cheaper than therapy… right? 🎨😅 #ArtistLife #SendHelp
