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.

I remember when advocating for mercy and compassion was considered Christian.

Now it's considered radical ideology.

Today marks 96 years since Tintin and Snowy departed Brussels to investigate what was happening in Russia, at the start of “Tintin in the Land of the Soviets”.
Their first public appearance was the week before, when this image was published to advertise the start of the story.

Caroline Lucas, "When you say President trump has different views, it's not about different views it's about telling lies, and we should call that out"

"The truth is the truth and we should be promoting that"

Well said @carolinelucas.bsky.social

It’s an interesting story in its own right, but it’s highly unlikely that Hergé took Captain Haddock’s family name from an English admiral from Leigh-on-Sea, as claimed in @theguardian.com today. www.theguardian.com/culture/2024... 1/3
