So utterly weird we've got to a point where a war leader not wearing a suit being used as the pretext for why a meeting went badly.

Unbelievable. Donald Trump has been invited to a state visit to the UK. We should not be rolling out the red carpet to celebrate this man. Agree? Add your name to the petition today: you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/no...

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.

Heroin was first synthesized in 1874. Bayer commercialized the drug & began mass producing it in 1898. The drug was promoted as a cough suppressant as well as a better and safer substitute for morphine and codeine. #histmed

While studying medicine at the University of Edinburgh in 1778, Charles Darwin’s uncle (by the same name) cut his hand dissecting a child’s corpse. He died within days, likely from meningococcal meningitis. Death was often inescapable for those trying their hardest to prevent it. #histmed #histsci

Yep. Or that in just the first 6 months of this year foodbanks in the @trusselluk.bsky.social community had to provide 1.4 million emergency food parcels. 500,000 for children. A 69% rise compared to only 5 years ago.
Truly appalling.
Totally fixable.
