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.

I’m stunned. Dimitri was my long-time “companion” on my drive home from the office after evening meetings. My prayers for everyone in his family and at WTOP.

@nealaugenstein.bsky.social I’m shocked to hear about Dimitri’s death. Please know that you and the entire WTOP team are in my prayers. He will be missed.

Before today, there was a lot of chatter about people going back to church today (following The Sermon from Bishop Budde).

Raise your hand if you went.

These fake Christians wouldn’t know Jesus if he came down from heaven and died on a cross for them…

First they came for the immigrants, and I spoke out, because I’ve read the damn poem before and I know how it ends.

Trump has deployed active military to help round up migrants and put them into detention camps.

The military forced us out of our homes at gunpoint in 1942 because we were considered possibly disloyal Americans. They sent us to internment camps for four years.

History is repeating. Pay attention.

Predictably, the public is lifting up Budde is a shining example of TRUTH TO POWER.

But let's be clear: her theology is NORMAL for Progressive Christians.
(She's even called it this...it was the setting that was unique)

JOIN THE MOVEMENT not just lift up a "hero."

This reminds me of when Jesus said, “Whatsoever you did for the least of these, even with the strings attached and all the other conditions and stuff - you did it to me.” Matthew 25:40, kind of.
WELKER: Can you commit that California disaster relief won't have strings attached?

MIKE JOHNSON: No, I won't commit to that ... when state and local officials make foolish policy decisions that make the disaster exponentially worse, we need to factor that in.

Yes, it sucks. Big time. But I’ve a Lions fan since Joe Schmidt prowled Tiger Stadium and I ain’t about to stop now. #OnePride
It was stunning, sudden. A loss, season over. This from Dan Skipper says it all: "It sucks cause next thing up is OTAs. Like, fuck. I don't know that it's hit yet. It just fucking sucks. That's kind of the only thing I can put into words right now is where we're at." www.freep.com/story/sports...
Lions' dream season comes to crushing halt with playoff loss: 'It just (bleeping) sucks'
The Lions committed five turnovers and had no answer for rookie Commanders quarterback Jayden Daniels
