Mr. Rogers' famous advice to "Look for the helpers" was meant to help parents comfort kids in a terrifying world. For adults, there's an implied second part: ...And if you can, be one yourself.

This member of the Brown University community is a hero.

Brown university has shut down teaching. No finals, projects, papers, etc. will be due. Students are free to leave at any time, and students who want to or have to stay will be fully supported with food, housing, counseling , etc.

Donald Trump is on live TV addressing the shootings at Brown University and in Australia. He quickly shifted to bragging about all of the tariff based money pouring into the US “more than four times as much as ever before.“ The network cut away from it.

This isn’t immigration enforcement; it’s blatant racial profiling against the very people who have called this land home for thousands of years.

Trump Tyranny Tracker Jan 25-26: Weekend Roundup

Lithuania is already mining bridges on the border with Russia and installing concrete barriers to stop tanks

A bird's-eye view of a former Auschwitz II-Birkenau camp showing a wide dirt pathway flanked by parallel rows of barbed-wire fences. Groups of visitors walk along the path, surrounded by the remnants of brick structures and barracks, now reduced to foundations. Green grass contrasts with the somber history of the site, as the path leads toward a guard tower in the distance.

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.

What's up with John Fetterman? He's apparently been drinking the orange Kool-Aid. So 😔 SAD!!

Lawyers have warned of “immediate and robust legal action” in the Polish courts, if Netanyahu sets foot on Polish soil. https://interc.pt/4ggRQgO
