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 young caller on @mrjamesob.bsky.social has just struck such a chord.
Women are presented with things to make them feel bad about themselves, and then they are sold things to fix it.
What insight.

Completely and absolutely agree, the message Trump’s actions in Venezuela sends to Russia and China is that anything goes, international law be damned. Russia and China will act aggressively no matter what, but this adds cover to their agendas on Ukraine and Taiwan.
Nigel Farage expresses support for Trump's "unorthodox" breach of international law - on grounds that they may "make China and Russia think twice"
But the main impact on Russia and China will be to help them to legitimise aggression in cases like Ukraine and Taiwan, citing Trump/US as analogous.

There seems to be some *confusion*
among Reform supporters over Nathan Gill being one of them
“But, but, Reform didn’t exist when he took his Russian bribes”
“But, but he was in UKIP”
“But, but it has nothing to do with Farage, he barely knew the guy”
So here’s a little history lesson 👍🏼🧵

Wow! France gifted her to us, and now they’ve captured what so many Americans are feeling on Independence Day. The values the Statue of Liberty stood for are no more.

A widely shared video claims to show a large number of asylum seekers on a Dover beach.
But the footage isn’t from Dover. It appears to have been filmed on a popular beach in Goa, India.

Viral video does not show migrants at the beach in Dover – Full Fact
A widely shared clip which contains a voiceover of someone claiming people on a beach are asylum seekers at Dover is misleading.

@matthew-wright.bsky.social so good to hear you raising the issue of the damage that pet spot-on treatments can cause to our waterways.
However, it's worth noting that it doesn't stop there!

Special assignment for me: a night out in Blackpool in Britain's first Reform Pub. The owner told us he'd now vote Remain, if he knew then what he knows now.
The story though was the same as everywhere: the most profound rejection of politics itself.
