My name is Julika Spiegel. I was born in 1939 in Budapest to Pal and Erzsebet. During the war we lived in Eger. In June of 1944, German soldiers murdered me in the gas chamber at Auschwitz. I was 5 years old. This photograph is all that is left of me.

How ironic is that! Merz presents tRump his (German) grandfather's birth certificate as a gift. Maybe as a reminder that he's an immigrant too? www.wionews.com/world/german...

Breathtaking sunset Salar de Uyuni, amid the Andes in southwest Bolivia, is the world’s largest salt flat.

Last year, Nike made $23 billion. Its founder is worth $35 billion. But Nike pays just dollars a day to the workers who make its products. Today I met Dinar, who sews 222 labels an hour onto Nike products. She is paid $202 a month. This is corporate greed at its worst.

If there were ever a sign that our media is a corrupt as the current regime, this is it.

All kidding aside, this is the narcissistic President of the United States verbally going nose to nose fighting in public on social media for the world to see with a spoiled narcissistic gazillionaire who probably helped him cheat to win an election. I mean WTF America?

So let’s see orange fat blob how long until he says he will deport Musk? I say by tonight? Bets anyone

One more quick question…

Exhibit 1.

These two psychos have access to all your personal data, by the way.

TACO strikes again:BREAKING: Despite telling MAGA he would defy court orders demanding he bring back illegally deported migrants, Trump caved. He just returned a migrant to the US – a gay Guatemalan man seeking asylum over fear of persecution. 💪 More of this!

I’ve been saying to be wary of those who are trying to downplay what our community experienced at Lake and Bloomington. Please save all the documentation so people are held accountable. From ICE in our community, to MPD assisting with crowd control with a side of police brutality.

Staten Island Ferry 1929

Ukraine’s attack on Russia wasn’t just a drone strike. It was a masterclass in 21st century warfare. With less than the cost of a fighter jet’s wing flap, Ukraine penetrated 2.5k miles into Russian territory and dismantled a 1/3 of the Butcher’s long range bomber fleet. #FAFO

This statement from Jonathan Joss's husband is heart breaking. No, headline writers, he wasn't "killed in an argument with a neighbor." He was *deliberately murdered* for being gay right after his dog was decapitated. Bet the murderer calls himself a "Christian." THIS is why Pride is important.

I live in Sweden where Tesla sold 53.7% less cars in May compared to 2024. We could do better but it's a start. Elon Musk has caused the world in reversible harm. He should never be forgiven. He claims to be on the spectrum like me but that doesn't excuse his shitty behavior. 😡

Israeli anthropologist Jeff Halper, in an interview with Witness Eye, questioned the legitimacy of Jewish claims to Palestine based on ancestral or religious narratives. Halper says such stories are used to justify the displacement of Palestinians, rather than reflect historical rights.

The Bernsteins were a German Jewish family. In June 1939, 16-year-old Susanne Bernstein was sent to safety in England on a #Kindertransport, joining her brother, Heinz. Her parents, Richerd and Grisela, were both murdered in Auschwitz.

You aren’t really grown until you’ve learned how to communicate, apologize for your mistakes, be truthful with others and accept responsibility for your mistakes without blaming others. It’s time to take a stand and be who you’re meant to be. #OneLove

When law-enforcement officers need to hide their faces from the public, it's a sign of something ethically & morally very wrong happening in society.

Here’s my promise to you as Virginia’s next Governor: you’ll never have to guess whether I’ll protect reproductive freedom.

Here's something everybody should be paying attention to: Congressional Republicans are trying to weaken the Affordable Care Act and put millions of people at risk of losing their health care. Call your Senators and tell them we can't let that happen.

I'm so over this lying, puritanical pixie.

This lecture by Jimmy Carter from when he received the Nobel Peace Prize in 2002 is a sobering and interesting read. You realize how much has changed in the world since then. 😔 www.nobelprize.org/prizes/peace...

Watch $4 trillion in debt appear while Medicaid, SNAP, and the poor vanish. Funny how “fiscal responsibility” never touches Pentagon boondoggles or corporate subsidies, but always lands squarely on kids’ healthcare and workers’ paychecks. #oligarchy www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...
