Ted Cruz celebrates anti-abortion extremist 8 days before the Planned Parenthood shooting
Just eight days before Robert L. Dear, 57, attacked a Planned Parenthood in Colorado, Ted Cruz bragged about an endorsement he received from the head of Christian pro-life organization Operation Rescue, Troy Newman. Newman has a history of openly endorsing violence against abortion providers.
“I’d like to tell you the story of a girl who became a Star Wars fan. I hope you can suspend disbelief over my existence long enough to make it to the end.“
THIS IS SO GOOD.
So today we exchanged contracts! Which is good. Although it feels rather anticlimactic, and because of other scheduling things we’ve gone from having a nice 2 weeks to sort stuff out to utter stress about having only 9 days to pack everything.
Which is kinda stressful.
And since we’ve finally hit the point of doing shipping we’re going to need to pay for things, and because of the car and the lack of agency shifts, this is now juggling lack of money to try and pay for all the things we need.
please do not let ferguson die out like everything else big does. do not let this die out. do not let this continue on for three days and then everyone forget about it. do not let this happen.
queue this post up 3 days from now, a week from now, a month from now, a month from then. make sure even if you forget your blog will remember.
While leaders across the country refuse to accept Syrian refugees, insisting they pose an unacceptable security risk, homegrown domestic extremists have been doing a pretty good job of terrorizing their fellow Americans with guns, explosives and threats of large-scale attacks. In addition to these, we can leave off the shooting in Minneapolis.
I keep on seeing this image being posted and liked on various forms of social media, particularly Facebook. Many are cooing over Hitler’s alleged humanity in this photo, when in reality his supposed affection and “love” for this child is absolutely contrived; this is his love and perverted obsession with the superiority of the Aryan race and its’ continuation and expansion through the Lebensborn program.
According to menzet.org, this image is from Hitler’s Lebensborn program, a program created to mass produce “Aryan” babies (like products) by offering young German girls up and assigning SS men (Hitler’s police and officials) to essentially rape them in order to give birth to many “Hitler babies” in order to further his political ideology of creating German living space and increasing the population of “superior” Aryan beings. This program began in 1935, the same year that the Nuremberg laws outlawed interfaith marriage between Jews and Christians.
While Hitler was mass-producing these lily-white babies, an estimated 1.5-2.5 million Jewish babies and children, in addition to a significant unknown number of Roma and disabled babies and children were mass murdered through human experimentation (twins killed by Josef Mengele), were sent to killing centers (mass shooting and gassing), newborns were shot immediately after birth, toddlers and children were killed by having their heads smashed open on concrete walls often for just crying and many other violent practices were used to exterminate innocent beings. Hitler mercilessly viewed children as useless for they could not perform most heavy labor, thus the children were most often ripped away from their parents and violently killed first before all others.
About 50,000 people on Facebook, including some of my Facebook friends who are biracial are posting this and liking this photo… I don’t know if a lack of education, blatant anti-semitism or desensitization is to blame.
If this child were to have not been 100% Aryan with blonde hair and blue-eyes, or would she have been a Jew, she would have faced death at his hands like the millions who died horrific, violent deaths.
These beautiful lives and legacies lost are still felt in the Jewish community to this day, especially because this all happened not too long ago. So much of our people’s cultural traditions have died with entire families systematically murdered. Yiddish is now a dying language, rarely ever spoken. So many Jews like myself, who’s ancestors had to assimilate in order to survive or flee genocide and persecution, leaving all of their cultural markings and legacy behind them will NEVER KNOW who we really are or have the luxury of “ethnic foods” and “family traditions” that some of you may have. Some Jews may never even learn that they are Jews.
Moral of the story is: You CANNOT humanize Hitler. He was not a genius, he was not loving. He was a disrespectful failed student in High school who became a talent-less failed artist. He was a deluded heartless man filled with unimaginable evil and hatred.
My first time growing Teosinte, which is Corn’s ancestor. Well, I’m not sure which Teosinte species this is as I got it from @dinhteresting and @lorrieclevenger at @ucscfarm, simply labeled “Teosinte”. Corn is one of the most domesticated plants – there are no wild forms that look anything like it. It is estimated that beginning about 9,000 years ago, it took at least several hundred if not a few thousand years for people in what is now southern Mexico to transform Teosinte (which has very few hard-shelled kernels that shatter into individual seeds) into Corn (which has very many juicy kernels neatly and securely arranged along a cob). Many people these days stress the importance of knowing where our food comes from, table to plate, but I think we must go deeper and thank the hundreds of generations of farmers who brought plants from the wild and selectively and naturally bred the amazing foods we eat today. This Teosinte is cool because it helps me be that much more grateful for an abundant and delicious ear of Corn. #teosinte #corn #zea #zeamays @bartramsfarm #seedkeeping #seedsaving #plantbreeding #selectivebreeding
Racists never want to believe that they are racist. They are constantly redefining what racism means so that they can escape meeting the definition while simultaneously engaging in the behavior.
