26 January 1942 | The number of prisoners at the Auschwitz camp during the evening roll-call was 11,432 men.
On that day 41 prisoners perished in the camp: 20 Poles, 10 Soviet POWs, 5 Germans, 3 reeducation prisoners, 2 Jews, and 1 Czech.
@verdantsquare Vote for Joe Biden. Voting for anyone other than Joe Biden is helping trump. This fight would be better fought once trump is dead.
@zleap of course … the illegality of Israel’s behavior as an occupier, from the beginning, is the main issue for me. It begins in 1948 in fact. Israel occupied and immediately annexed territory designated by the UN partition decision to a Palestinian state. The Israeli excuse is that the Arabs and Palestinians rejected the partition, and started a war. It’s still illegal, afaik, but never discussed, since there’s some “consensus” around the 1967 borders. But to be honest with their “mandate” (whitewashed colonialism) returned to the UN, and the British actively sabotaging the work of the UNPC (United Nations Palestine Commission), there’s so much the UK needs to answer for.
UK government ignored foreign office concerns over Israeli war crimes

Huge support for new rules.
Poll: 82% of Ireland favours social media companies being made to stop building up data about their sexual desires/political & religious views/ethnicity/health etc, and using that data to pick what videos are shown to them.
Strong support across age, education, class, income, property ownership for rules to prevent TikTok, YouTube, Facebook, etc. from using profiling-based recommender algorithms, unless a user has asked the companies to do this.
It is well known that Netanyahu self-admittedly created & financed Hamas for his own purposes.
Now the EU’s top diplomat, Josep Borrell, has weighed in:
“Hamas has been financed by the Israeli government to try to weaken the Palestinian Authority of Fatah" & to prevent a Palestinian state.
Hamas was created in December 1987 shortly after the start of the first Palestinian Intifada, or uprising, in the Israeli-occupied Palestinian territories.

BORIS JOHNSON: The global wokerati are trembling so violently you can hear the ice tinkling in their negronis... but a Trump presidency could be just what the world needs
Interesting piece from the former UK PM. Seems to fail to mention many thing such as the fact he took classified documents, accused of rape, etc. Not taking briefings seriously is also very concerning. Good enough reasons NOT to allow him back in the White House. Lets not start on his total contempt for the judicial system.
I am not sure how the US system works, but I get the impression he can back Ukraine 100 percent, but if the house / congress / senate don't back that support, it won't happen or will be delayed
Boris seems to be forgetting the right wing elements of the GOP who hold a great deal of power or at least seem to. To me they are probably MORE dangerous than a lying, corrupt former president regaining office.
