we're not here anymore

27 January: International Holocaust Remembrance Day

On this day we honour and remember the approximately 22 million innocent souls who fell victims to hate racism and prejudice crimes, nearly 7.5 million of which were slaughtered for being who they were.

6 million Jews (1.5 million of which were children)

1.5 million Romani

270 000 People with disabilities (be it physical or mental)

14 million civilians, caught in the crossfire, famine and ugliness of war from all over Europe.

This day is an important reminder of what once was and what should never be again.

May their rest be more peaceful than their life and may their memory be a blessing.

What CLAMP should I read?

Trump previously had a financial stake in Energy Transfer Partners, which is overseeing the construction, but sold it in the weeks after he secured the presidency.

It’s estimated that over 1,000 protesters are demonstrating outside the White House, making it the third protest to take place against Trump in the four days of his presidency.

“Join us tonight as we stand with Indigenous leaders and climate activists,” wrote the protest organizers. “Commit to the fight ahead and show that these pipelines will not be built without a fight.
