When future generations read about Gaza with horror and wonder how we allowed a livestreamed genocide to happen, what will you say?
www.theguardian.com
"When future generations learn that, for 19 months, we woke up every morning to videos of children being burned alive – bombed with weapons that the US taxpayer helped pay for and the western world helped justify – will you be able to say that you spoke up?"

here's Trump's full racist rant about MN's Somali community: "Somalians ripped off that state for billions. And they contribute nothing... Ilhan Omar is garbage. She's garbage. Her friends are garbage. These aren't people that work... They come from hell & do nothing but bitch. We don't want them"

On the one hand, anything to distract from reports of his increasingly well-documented, lifelong racism.

At least the title on the "U.S. Fuhrer Convicted" article gives some cause for hope - should history repeat itself.
On this day in 1939, while allied with Nazi Germany, Russia invaded Finland.
Roughly 11% of the country was eventually occupied by Russians, and since 1947 has remained so.
