Read today from Elie Wiesel published today 02.07. by the Auschwitz memorial: "Indifference is the epitome of evil." / „We must take sides. Neutrality helps the oppressor, never the victim. Silence encourages the tormentor, never the tormented"

If it is fascism now it was fascism then but if you were wrong no need to pause to make a special effort to admit your error -- we don't have that much time now, please act right away, get organized, and then tell your followers what you are doing to stop fascism and what they too can do.

Across America and the world, people are realizing it’s not possible to appease America’s dictator.
The only way to deal with him is to stand up to him — and the only way to stand up to him is by joining together against him.
It's time for a massive general strike across the country.

„Lifestyle-Teilzeit", das sagt ausgerechnet eine Partei, in der viele Abgeordnete ihr Mandat selbst nur in Teilzeit ausüben, weil sie nebenbei als Aufsichtsräte, Berater oder Teilhaber kassieren. Jetzt wollen sie, dass Teilzeitkräfte ihre Gründe rechtfertigen. Vielleicht fangen wir mal andersrum an.

So thankful for our friends in NATO that helped us after 9/11. Look how many died fighting along side us.I remember many countries played our National Anthem and stood with us. I appreciate what every country did. I long for the day when Trump is gone and we can begin to undo damage he has caused.

Leaked video from ICE detention shows 50 people crammed in cell with no beds or bathrooms—including U.S. citizens.
"They hit his face. They beat him until he can no longer stand."
"They have been here more than ten days without bathing and enduring hunger."

All 10 shots were fired AFTER they removed the gun from Pretti’s waist. Every single shot was fired after he was disarmed.

The Washington Post published a clear video of federal agents removing Alex Pretti's handgun moments before he was fatally shot. There's nothing in the video to suggest Pretti even reached for his weapon.

The majority of organizing happening in Minnesota isn’t just peaceful, it’s INVISIBLE. Moms showing up who won’t be interviewed on TV, people whose ICE patrols don’t turn into viral video. The grocery runs, the donations, the people filming bc they happen to be there. Please remember this.

On day 424 of protests in Georgia, we mark the birthday of Mikha Khelashvili, a Georgian guerrilla fighter who continued armed resistance against Soviet rule after Georgia’s occupation.
Many such fighters remain unknown; Khelashvili is remembered because of his poetry, banned under Soviet rule.

House raids are underway in search of injured protesters, and civilians are being shot inside their homes. In the south, people are hiding at sea as drones search for them. In some regions, families have fled to the mountains. The killing of ordinary civilians has not stopped.
