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.
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.

the knitters too. this is the top pattern on ravelry right now
A red knitted cap with a pointed crown with a braided tassel. It's titled "Melt the ICE Hat" and it's by YarnCultMN n the 1940’s, Norwegians made and wore red pointed hats with a tassel as a form of visual protest against Nazi occupation of their country. Within two years, the Nazis made these protest hats illegal and punishable by law to wear, make, or distribute. As purveyors of traditional craft, we felt it appropriate to revisit this design. The sample shown was knit in Blue Sky Fibers Skyland for the DK version. All proceeds from the sale of this pattern go to the LynLake community of businesses who will distribute the funds to those impacted by the actions of ICE.

Have you met the Wikipede? In another universe, maybe it has been Wikipedia's logo for over two decades. Community members submitted many designs, proposed changes, and debated them openly 🧵⬇️ (1/5)
The pixelated picture of a caterpillar. Text reads: What if this were Wikipedia’s logo? Before the puzzle globe, Wikipedia’s community explored other possibilities. And the early 2000s delivered.

This is how free and open access works. There is no way to have a free and open access project and then go “wait, no, not like that”.

I'd recommend this article to people, but I'm biased because it opens with "Ian Ramjohn remembers the first time he edited Wikipedia" #Wikipedia25

This is of course a tangential point to the fact that Trump posted an image claiming he's "acting president" of Venezuela.

But with such a recognizable Wikipedia element I was curious whether vandalism had slipped through or if they're faking Wikipedia screenshots almost as an appeal to authority.

Use the Wikipedia app.

It’s funny how Wikipedia used to seem relatively unreliable, because it was written by regular people instead of encyclopedia experts, and now it seems relatively reliable, because it’s written by regular people instead of glib CliffsNotes robots

Although this image appears to be a screenshot of a Wikipedia infobox, the Wikipedia article about Trump never showed this (even as brief vandalism).

It's either photoshopped or someone used the edit preview feature but didn't (or couldn't) commit the change.
