4 September 1930 | Czech Jewish boy František (Franta) Bass was born in Brno.

He was incarcerated in Theresienstadt ghetto on 2 December 1941. He wrote poetry there.
Franta was murdered in Auschwitz on 30 October 1944.

His poem "The Garden”.

A little garden,
Fragrant and full of roses,
The path is narrow
And a little boy walks along it.

A little boy, a sweet boy,
Like that growing blossom.
When the blossom comes to bloom,
The little boy will be no more.

“I've always tried to present a positive view of the world in my work. It's so much easier to be negative & cynical & predict doom for the world than it is to try & figure out how to make things better. We have an obligation to do the latter."

- Jim Henson

The Reaganomics trickle down scam has redistributed $50T from bottom 90% to top 1%.

If the minimum wage increased with inflation & corporate productivity it’d be $26/hr today.

Corporations annually steal $15B from workers and face zero meaningful accountability.

Think about these facts next time you hear an exploitative CEO of a blue collar retail store complain “People just don’t want to work anymore.”

Deactivated my Twitter account. Weigh me now.

I saw a post today that was scolding progressives for not being able to admit Poilievre’s media is “good” or watching it to understand why it appeals.

No, I understand exactly why RW messaging appeals, and it’s all the same. They lie confidently and constantly, describe nonexistent problems or issues their politics caused, and gives solutions that either don’t work or are shallow and impractical! It’s like an “AI” chatbot, regurgitating high scoring nonsense!

And to clarify: Yes, the screenshot of the payout could certainly be fake, or based on previous content. But the point is, whether the motivation for disinformation is $$$ or LOLz or even just to show how easy it is for misinformation to spread, if you're not able to correct it afterwards, the impact is the same. And I guarantee you that there will be conspiracy theorists out there still talking about the government cover-up of desert ebola a year from now.

Knutella finds our cheap bedsheets acceptable for now.

Don't let people get you down about how you look on the outside, because there will always be people that think you're beautiful no matter what.

He can’t accept that HE completely fucked Twitter, so now he’s saying The Jews did it, eh.

G is checking an estimate with a contractor, and Parsley the #cat is dutifully supervising the negotiations 😹😹😹

Untrue.

The reason we won’t have clean drinking water, biodiversity in our wetlands isn’t the EPA…

Is because of lavish yacht vacations and cheap-as-free real estate for our nation’s corrupt conservative Supreme Court

Oh that's why Washy doesn't listen

It's time for some sleeep

Goodnight my dear friends ❤️

Three words: tax the rich.

Twitter owner Elon Musk just blamed the ADL, a Jewish advocacy organization, for the explosion of antisemitism on his platform.

Blaming Jewish people or groups for the hatred of Jewish people is the same perverted logic found in Hitler's "Mein Kampf."

Musk is the world's richest person and his companies are paid billions by the US government.

He posted the message in conversation with Keith Woods, an Irish neo-Nazi whose account Musk reinstated in April a few months after buying Twitter.

What does she want?
