In May 1939, as the Nazis were tightening their chokehold on Europe, the United States government rejected the SS St. Louis, a German passenger vessel carrying 937 refugees who were trying to dock at the Port of Miami.
Almost all of those refugees were Jews fleeing violence in Germany and Eastern Europe, according to the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum. The ship was eventually forced to return to Europe, where 254 of its passengers were killed.
On Friday, to commemorate International Holocaust Remembrance Day, a pair of Jewish scholars — Russel Neiss and Charlie Schwartz — started tweeting the names of the people who were aboard the SS St. Louis, under the handle @Stl_Manifest. Read more
I actually went to seminar of one of the passengers of the S.S, Louis who survived the holocaust a couple of months ago and something I learned from her was that the whole voyage of the S.S. Louie was a planned sabotage meant to act as Nazi propaganda and a fairly successful one. It’s an incredibly important story so I wish to share it with my followers, especially with everything happening nowadays. Basically as best as i can remember it the story of the S.S, Louie goes like this:
During 1939 as Nazi’s were rising in power and gaining control over Europe, Many German-Jewish families could see the warning signs and tried to find asylum outside of Europe for many the answer came in the form of the S,S, Louie a cruise ship taking refugees that was bound for Cuba. Most everyone who went on this journey had a legal Visa to enter Cuba, what they didn’t know however was that the Nazi regime had been placing their agents closer and closer to the head of the Cuban government. They knew this ship was coming and wanted to make an example of them.
The nazi agents convinced the Cuban government to rescind the visas, so by the time they reached Cuba their Visas were no longer valid and the ship was not allowed to dock on the Cuban shore. The S.S. Louie remained docked for about ten days or so iirc before the captain realized there was no hope and Cuba was not going to take in the refugees as promised. Determined not to return to Germany with the refugees, The captain chose to sail to nearby Florida instead in order to seek asylum in America. However just like with Cuba The United states refused entry into the country, even after a Jewish Association in Paris offered to Pay the united states about $500 per person (again I might be off on the amount but regardless it was a lot of money at the time).
Meanwhile back in Germany, Nazi controlled Newspaper carefully documented the travels of the ship. The gist of most of the articles being: “Look, nobody wants these people, not the cubans not the states. We can’t even pay them to take them. We are doing the world a favor by getting rid of these people” The Captain as well as the people in Paris tried desperately to get the US to take the refugees but unfortunately the US firmly denied them access. Realizing they were running out of supplies the captain had no choice but to turn back to Europe.
Still the Captain refused to return to Nazi occupied territory and instead sailed to England. Where they were able to convince Holland, Great Britain, Belgium and France to take their passangers. Unfortunately Holland and France would later be taken over by the Nazi’s and thus many of these Refugees were murdered.
We as citizens can not allow this to happen again. Between, the Syrians, the lgbt russians and many many others we cannot allow more people to be turned away and sent back to their doom. It is the only way we can honor the memory of those passangers of the S.S. St. Louie.

Oh no it’s that one.
The ‘that Vegan teacher’ that tells you it’s selfish to come out as LGBTQ+ over coming out as ‘vegan’, parodyed George floyd’s last words in her song about being vegan and compared animal meat to the holocaust - and that BLM should be protesting for veganism and animal rights over their own rights.
Also she be stalking A 16 year old on tiktok so.
This woman is a total yikes.
Let’s also not forget that she had also joked and laughed about a kid dying bc they had tried to follow a certain vegan diet SHE had brought up, and after she was called out about it she just kept making fun of them.
Don’t forget that she said that having an eating disorder was not an excuse to not go vegan, when people with eating disorders shouldn’t take any excuse to cut food out of their diets.
I’m going to become a cryptid and drag her into the wood so that she can become a mysterious-missing-person-found-in-the-woods-with-no-bones-or-face
I believe she also tried to hit a furry with her car.
WHAT
It was a while ago and I don’t know if it’s true but a couple people said she did
Also TikTok is going to war with her on February 12th
I never wanted to know the answer to the question “What if PETA was a person”, yet, here we are…

I agree with the idea that most things boil down to “can you have compassion for others”, but I’d be more inclined to use: “can you treat others with humanity and dignity, and put their rights at the center of your convictions, even if you have nothing in common with them, and even if you cannot emotionally relate to every tragedy in the world.”
And sometimes, you all need to understand that you don’t have the full context to understand a situation in its full complexities and that you probably never will, which means that your public commentary may be unnecessary and even tactless.

His name is Eugene Goodman. In a now-viral video, he is seen confronting White Supremacists and using himself as bait to provide cover for the evacuation of lawmakers. He was alone in a hallway when the mob reached him, and Congress was being evacuated to the left. He lured the mob away from lawmakers, drawing them in the opposite direction and up the stairs.
Officer Goodman deserves recognition for his amazing bravery and selflessness. Because of him, Congress was evacuated safely and no lawmakers were assassinated on that terrible day. He risked everything to save others, and he is a hero.

I remember watching the video clip of him running up the steps and thinking ‘oh god they’re going to murder this man, God protect him’
It is utterly heartbreaking and should be eye opening - to think that every person who watched that video that was terrified for that man’s life, was not afraid because it was 1 against an army - but, because it was the color of his skin against theirs.
