Went to the funeral of a WWII veteran today. A heavy machine-gunner in the 100th Infantry Division, he helped retake France in 1944. Purple Heart. Two bronze service stars. His division liberated over 100 French villages & towns, never once retreating. Legit war hero.
He was 98.
And he was Jewish.
And he was my father-in-law.
And anyone advocating we teach "both sides" of the Holocaust or questioning the ethics of our fighting Nazis with every weapon we had is asking for a punch in the face.

On International Holocaust Remembrance Day we remember the Jewish, Roma, 2SLGBTQ+, and other people murdered by Nazism and fascism. As the world careens in a far-right direction once again, we must be upstanders and organizers in our communities.

Billionaires lost $1.9 trillion in 2022.
Elon Musk lost $115 billion.
Jeff Bezos lost $80 billion.
Mark Zuckerberg lost $78 billion.
None of this has any real consequence on their daily lives.
Hoarding wealth like this is grotesque.
