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

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

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. www.usatoday.com/story/news/e...
usatoday.com
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.

One year ago today, we drove to Twin Falls, Idaho, to pick up a 5-yr old beauty we'd agreed to foster for a month (at most). Dear reader, it only took 3 hours for us to decide we were never giving him back. Happy #gotcha day to Rye.

When you give your unsolicited opinion, in German you give your "mustard" (yummy?), in French your "grain of salt" (without your opinion it was too bland) and in English your "two cents" (how generous!). In Spanish, however, you'll be asked: "Who gave you a candle at the funeral? Languages are fun!
