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 national newspaper journalist went on a British TV channel to claim police stats showed asylum-seekers committed 44% of sex crimes in Dorset.
This shocking claim was treated as fact by the channel which promoted the clip on social media where it was amplified by AI.
Except... it's bollocks.

Should we just give cash to homeless people? I wrote about what the evidence shows--and a London-based charity called Greater Change that has a simple, innovative way of making a difference:

Thank you to @mrjamesob.bsky.social for having me on, one of the v few people in the UK press to follow this story during what is now a decade of media apathy &/or complicity
‘The threat couldn’t be more urgent and imminent. Yet here we are, still putting our head in the sand.’
@carolecadwalla.bsky.social says it’s ‘peculiar’ that the case of Farage ally Nathan Gill admitting to making pro-Russia speeches for cash isn’t being followed more closely.

Absolutely heartbreaking. Every name is a person. Each one should be looking forward to full lives. Families and friends bereft forever.
It is really hard to believe that this will not sow further discord, distrust and hate against the perpetrators.

Das, was derzeit meinen Kollegen @dunjahayali.de und Elmar Theveßen widerfährt, dürfte z.T. auch eine orchestrierte Kampagne sein. In den digitalen Kloaken genügt es ja, jemanden zu markieren und dann wird das zum Selbstläufer, in rechtsfreien Räumen, denen sich bislang keine Kraft entgegenstellt. 🧵

Thanks for the reminder @janemunday.bsky.social. Every summer, I repost this article DROWNING DOES NOT LOOK LIKE DROWNING. To date, I know of FOUR kids who were saved after someone who'd clicked on the link learnt how to spot actual drowning. Take time to read and pass on.
