The words we heard from the main actors of the AfD rally about “Great Germany” and “the need to forget German guilt for Nazi crimes” sounded all too familiar and ominous. Especially only hours before the anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz.

Also every newspaper is leading with “anti Israel policies” in the headline. That allows the foreign minister to control the narrative with a blatant lie. Ireland is choosing to uphold genocide law in the highest international criminal court. That’s what’s happening here

This is a response to Ireland announcing that it would assist in the International court of Justice genocide case, as opposed to what's expected of a western country, which is to look the other way when it comes to international law
Israel will close its embassy in Dublin in light of 'the extreme anti-Israel policies of the Irish government', Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Saar has said in a statement

Listerine cigarettes, c.1930. The tobacco was infused with the same antiseptic oils used in the mouthwash for a "cooling and soothing effect." Listerine cigarettes were not very popular because there is almost no record of their existence. #histmed

Still no polling card for the Irish general election on Friday. Just checked the register online. I'm there! It even tells you where to vote. Booth number and all!

We humans are the creature with the best conditions, but with the worst judgment. The climate deal from Baku is not enough. The target won't be reached. I fear for the children of this planet. Their future looks devestating. It's time to step up. Time for action.

Linda McMahon lied about having a degree in education to serve on the Connecticut state board of education. She will head the U.S Department of Education under Trump.
The narrative that Trump wants to intentionally corrode our institutions sounds about right.

Trump's education secretary nominee once said she had an education degree. She doesn't.
A questionnaire McMahon filled out to serve on a state board falsely said she had an education degree, according to a copy reviewed by USA TODAY.
