If you’re going to post about Holocaust Remembrance Day, it is critical that you explicitly state that millions of Jews were murdered. People assume that using “Holocaust” with a capital H automatically implies this, but it doesn’t. Neo-Nazis are obsessed with severing Jews from the industrial-scale murder that occurred. They love nothing more than making Jews —rather than the Nazis — the cause of millions of deaths across Europe, while simultaneously minimizing the murder of Jews by referring to them as “deaths” (often attributed to illness rather than murder and reduced to hundreds of thousands rather than millions). This is especially true of major media figures and elected officials. I have seen in real time how Neo-Nazis will notice a statement or social media post from someone prominent that does not explicitly mention the mass murder of millions of Jews in reference to the Holocaust and ask whether that person is secretly on their side, or if they’ve “woken up” or “noticed.”

There are obviously bad actors who do this intentionally, but I’ve learned over the years that many well-meaning people don’t realize how important it is to include this phrasing.

Despite what some, including at DHS, are claiming, this video isn’t from a year ago in Chicago. It was Friday in Hoffman Estates, in my district, a street I’ve walked myself. It appears to show a child being violently detained by ICE. It’s real, and I’m demanding accountability.

"It's not MSNBC anymore, Lemon. It's MS NOW. We bought the name off of a defunct multiple sclerosis awareness organization. It wasn't cheap, but we were able to save some money by selling Brian Williams to a Saudi prince who wanted to expand his harem."

When public media disappears, so do the stories that bring us together.

With federal funding eliminated, millions may lose their last trusted source of news and connection.

Four boys killed by an Israeli drone strike in Gaza A mother grieves as her sons, whom she had struggled to keep alive in the war, were killed during a truce that remains marred by violence.

On Friday, two boys stepped outside their Gaza City home — just for a moment, to find firewood for their evening meal.

But an Israeli drone found them first, firing the missile that killed them.

DID YOU KNOW there was a school named “Japan” at Collista in Johnson County? After the attack at Pearl Harbor the students petitioned the Johnson County Board of Education to “change the name of our school.”

The name was changed.
