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.

@normeisen.bsky.social: “We have independent inspectors general. That's what IG stands for… They're there to make sure that the public interest is served... This is a nakedly illegal action, because Donald Trump doesn't want that oversight.”

Despite The Indian Citizenship Act of 1924, Trump officials are questioning birthright citizenship of Native Americans. According to a filing defending the Trump executive order, Indians on tribal lands aren’t “subject to the jurisdiction” of the U.S., therefore, not citizens.

I want to talk about the Laken Riley Act that would mandate that cops detain any immigrant, even legal residents, merely accused of a crime, without ability to have a hearing or bail!
Why does Trump want this?

One conclusion: "Several experts say the US will lose out on a trillion dollar plus renewable energy boom, leaving other countries like China to rule the green economy."

Oligarchy (noun): A government of and by a few at the top, who exercise power for their own benefit. Their power and wealth increase as they make laws that favor themselves, manipulate financial markets, and create monopolies that put more wealth into their pockets.

Jon Stewart nails it: Republicans want Californians to suffer for partisan politics—but only when blue states are hurting. California pays more in federal taxes than 30 red states combined, but they won’t admit it.
