A heartbreaking moment that was saved by an SS photographer at Auschwitz II-Birkenau during the deportations of Hungarian Jews. It was taken 80 years ago, most likely in late May 1944. A little child finds a dandelion in the grass and is handing it or showing it to an older boy.

All the people in this picture had already gone through the arrival selection and were awaiting to be murdered in a gas chamber. They were killed shortly after.

4 years to the day after George Floyd was murdered, here's where we are:

  • Racist people are just as racist as the day before George Floyd was murdered.

  • Black people are still asking for the exact same things.

  • "Liberal" and "Centrist" white Americans are more racist, and less supportive of DEI than they were the day before George Floyd.

  • Police budgets have grown faster than they did the day before George Floyd.

  • Biden has undone any of the gains made during the protests.

I'm not going to pretend that I haven't had to do so many threads over the past 4 years, proving to supposedly smart people with titles like "Data Scientist," how basic math exposed the blatant lies claiming that Black criminals and shoplifters were responsible for:

  • Drug Stores closing
  • Whole Foods closing
  • SF's doom loop
  • NYC subway ridership being down
  • Small restaurants closing
  • Asian Hate
    🤡

We're not really going to pretend like that didn't happen.

There’s an Italian(?) animated short involving mosquitoes living off a sleeping human, as an allegory for modern dependence on oil.

I don’t remember the name. Anyone?

Only in a mainstream media devoted to covering up for fascists, could we still be reprinting Alito's bullshit excuse for why "his wife" was flying an upside down flag in solidarity with the Jan 6th 2021 attempted fascist coup, AFTER its been publicly revealed that Alito also flew an explicitly Christian Nationalist flag at his vacation home, ALSO associated with the coup

Dawg, it's your job to report AND analyze the news; reprinting fascist lies when you KNOW THEY ARE LIES is not journalism

Saturday's Washington Post report raises many questions — several relating to the fact that the Post, at least passively, made the decision not to reveal the (first) Alito flag story many times since 2021. https://www.lawdork.com/p/washington-post-bombshell-washington

Widespread seawater intrusions found beneath the grounded ice of Thwaites Glacier, West Antarctica. This makes the glacier more vulnerable to melting from a warmer ocean than anticipated, which in turn will increase projections of ice mass loss.

Alcatraz ferry workers go on strike, but service continues

On Saturday morning, workers for the sole provider of ferries to Alcatraz Island went on a four hour strike to contest what they allege to be unfair labor practices. “The cat’s out of the bag,” said Evan McLaughlin, an organizer with the International Longshore and Warehouse Union, which represents some 90 Alcatraz ferry workers. At 8:30 a.m., some 50 workers and supporters began to rally at the ferry’s boarding terminal at Pier 33.
