Today, on International Holocaust Remembrance Day, we remember the 6 million Jewish men, women, and children, and millions more, who were murdered at the hands of the Nazis.
To commemorate the Holocaust and its victims, we must speak out against antisemitism and other forms of bigotry today.

"There is no line Trump will not cross. There is only self-interest." This is what I keep saying--it's no use trying to 'understand' him. There's no there, there. Other people are simply not real to him.

Anyway, another great Q&A with @sarahkendzior.bsky.social.

Heute am #Holocaustmemorialday werden wieder viele Politiker:innen Posts machen, in denen sie das "Nie wieder" beschwören. Wenn aber Erinnerungskultur nur Symbolpolitik bedeutet, hat sie keinen Wert. "Nie wieder" heute bedeutet: AfD-Verbot einleiten, den russischen Genozid in der Ukraine stoppen.

On Jan 27th, the global community marks International Holocaust Remembrance Day, a day to commemorate the lives that were stolen in the Shoah.

Now, more than ever, it is our mission to educate future generations about the atrocities committed by the Nazis.

Weird statement by Rutte. First, it is obviously wrong. Given time and the necessary investments, Europe can of course defend itself without U.S.
And second: Why undermine European deterrence like that? This message increases the risk that Putin will try to exploit the current fracture in NATO.
“If anyone thinks here ... that the European Union or Europe as a whole can defend itself without the U.S., keep on dreaming,” he told lawmakers on the European Parliament’s defense and foreign affairs committees. “You can't.”

Greenland is not about national security. It's about controlling the island's mineral wealth. If it were about national security, the US could just make a phone call and say, 'We want more bases.'

The screenshot (the full video is linked) shows a resident of the part of Pokrovsk "liberated" by Russia.

Victoria, her husband, and her mother-in-law were waiting for the "liberators," as she herself testified to the Russian military police.

The "liberators" arrived.

The third paragraph reads as if the Russians wrote it. Maybe they did. In any event, it is an atrociously big lie; 1984-grade, as Aaron Rupar rightly says.

Margaret Atwood was right: “I didn’t put anything into the book that had not already happened in real life.”

In a nation with no official religion, state power is once again wrapped in religious symbolism ... bright, public, and unmistakable.
