“No one understands how little boys become villains without even trying. Trauma, when left untreated, has the capacity to make make a villain out of you. Take this as your reminder. Not all heroes wear capes. Some wear darkness, some wear wounds.” —Nikita Gill
please stop spreading misinformation and hopelessness because so, so many people are misunderstanding what bernie did today
bernie suspended his campaign because he has more important things to focus on such as dealing with the pandemic
he is still on the ballot and if your state hasn’t had a primary yet you can still vote for him to earn him delegates
there is some cause for concern that everyone reporting that he’s dropped out altogether can affect voter turnout, and we need to counteract this by spreading the word on what’s actually happening.
“He was beautiful, that was always affirmed, but his beauty was hard to fix or to see, for he was always glimmering, flickering, melting, mixing, he was the shape of a shapeless flame, he was the eddying thread of needle-shapes in the shapeless mass of the waterfall. He was the invisible wind that hurried the clouds in billows and ribbons. You could see a bare tree on the skyline bent by the wind, holding up twisted branches and bent twigs, and suddenly its formless form would resolve itself into that of the trickster.”
a 10 minute request from your local student rabbi for International Holocaust Remembrance Day 2020
Hi all,
I have a request of you as we approach the 75th Anniversary of the Liberation of Auschwitz. I care very deeply about education on the suffering of others and care that we all work hard to learn and grow together to build a brighter world. It will only take you ten minutes, and will help you to make the world a better place. Please reblog this message and make it go viral.
#1) For Five Minutes: Learn something new about the Holocaust from the American Holocaust History Museum or Yad Vashem in Jerusalem. It will take you five minutes to learn something new. Do your part in remembering by learning about the travesty which murdered six million members of my collective Jewish family and in total about eleven million members of our collective human family. Please make time either now or in the future to watch a testimony from a survivor. It will only take you five minutes to learn something new about the Holocaust so we can continue to work to make a world where every human being feels safe– especially the Jewish People within this context.
#2) For Five Minutes: Learn about a marginalized group that faces oppression today. Learn about antisemitism- and if your politics leads you to criticize the State of Israel, learn to do so without being antisemitic. Learn about disability advocacy and how we can create a society that is no longer abelist. Learn about transphobia, homophobia, and biphobia and bi-erasure. Learn about your biases. Understand how you might be Islamophobic or hold certain understandings of society that might be considered racist. It will only take you five minutes to make the world a brighter place for others.
Today, January 27, is International Holocaust Remembrance Day. Please take time to remember and reflect on all the different people murdered in the Holocaust, and those who survived its horrors. Jewish people, Roma people, LGBTQ people, the disabled, political prisoners, and many more groups.
They deserve to be remembered. They need to be.
2020 marks the 75th year since the liberation of Auschwitz. The number of Holocaust survivors decreases each year.
We must study and learn about the Holocaust. We must listen to the testimonies of those who survived.
