The world’s richest person, without any actual authority, is infiltrating entire govt agencies and gaining access to sensitive info. And it's being done in an effort to slash federal spending in the name of "efficiency" so America’s wealthy can get another huge tax cut.

@lindsayncurrie.bsky.social lures you in like a ghost in a graveyard. It's Watching is suspenseful, creepy, spooky, & clever. When Alison, Josie & Jackson sneak into Bachelor's Grove cemetery, they never imagined they would be haunted. No wonder 2 of her books are this year's Geneva304 Viking books.

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.
