Tomorrow, I'll be proudly attending the No Kings Rally in #Boston.
🎥 I share why in this video, recorded at Malden's historic Bell Rock Memorial, because this place reminds us of what true patriotism looks like.
➡️ Some are calling this a "Hate America" rally. That couldn't be further from the truth. The real hatred and attack on our #democracy was the insurrection on Jan. 6th. That was not patriotism.
🇺🇸We are stronger together.
#Trump is absolutely right! Those stupid motherf.... #WW2 #war #veterans thought they needed to "liberate" #Europe from the absolutely fine #Nazi people a few decades ago.
They even joined the #Antifa #terror organization named allied forces. 🤯
Total failure.
So sad.
Trump would have loved to make the bestest deals with #Hitler just as he loves to deal with #Putin and other great leaders who really love their people.
Why are those last remaining WW2 veterans still running freely and not living in those shiny new concentration camps built recently where they can't do any further damage to the free people of #USA?
Lock! Them! Up!
#sarcasm 🤮
The British isle with its own language.
The UK entered WW2 on 3 September, 1939. Eighty years after the war's end, few people know that a British island's unique language was used as a clandestine code during Nazi occupation.

1/2 🇵🇱Warsaw, #Poland. A city that knows the cost of fighting for #freedom, and the bridge between my journey to and from #Ukraine.🇺🇦
🗣️As I look at monuments that commemorate the Warsaw Uprising and the heroes of this city, I’m reminded of my Ukrainian friends and the brave defenders fighting for their country. The struggles are different, but the fight for #democracy and against oppression is the same.
🌅 In the midst of this, I also saw the beauty of peace throughout the city,
2/2
…a powerful reminder of what is at stake.
So much history we need to learn from, so that we can stand in solidarity for a better future.🕊️

»Flüchtlinge spionierten im Weltkrieg für den Schweizer Nachrichtendienst:
Sie beschafften im Zweiten Weltkrieg – teils unter Lebensgefahr - Informationen für den Schweizer Nachrichtendienst: Flüchtlinge, die als Agenten eingesetzt wurden. Nach dem Krieg liess man sie fallen.«
Was soll ich oder ihr dazu noch zusätzlich kommentieren?

Beijing’s commemoration is a bold rebuttal to the West’s monopolization of WWII memory.
European leaders’ refusal to attend, citing concerns about offending Japan, reveals a glaring gap exists in Western collective memory of World War II – a war we call “global”, yet one where the role of the fourth allied victor, China, is consistently sidelined.

80 years ago today, the US dropped Fat Man, the plutonium-powered implosion bomb, on Nagasaki, Japan. I'm visiting Los Alamos, where the bomb was built, and today saw this replica at the lab's Bradbury Science Museum. LANL is now building replacement plutonium pits at TA-55. Heavy thoughts.

Approximately 8000 women worked at #BletchleyPark during WW2.
One codebreaker I can quickly look up is #JaneFawcett MBE.
“In 1940, at the age of 18, she was interviewed by senior #codebreaker#StuartMilnerBarry, and joined the secret codebreaking project at Bletchley Park. She joined a group of women known as the "#Debs of Bletchley Park",
… “Hughes was assigned to Hut 6 a "Decoding Room" of women only”.
“On 25 May 1941, Hughes and several other women were briefed on the search for the German battleship #Bismarck. Shortly thereafter, she decoded a message referring to the Bismarck that detailed its current position and destination in France.“
“Her work did not come to light until decades later, during the 1990s, as it had been classified under Britain's Official Secrets Act”.
Jane passed away in 2016.

Young’uns forget after WW2 a fair percentage of the male population in the UK were trained to kill. The rest including women served in many public and military jobs including code breaking.
This is of course, conjecture but Phyllis seems quite adept at putting the machine to work crunching numbers and knows discrete electronics. The difference between single and dual potentiometers, capacitors.
A tell is “electronic gadget.”
According to the YT comments, Phyllis passed away in 2020. It’s conceivable Phyllis was almost 60 here. Easily old enough to have lived through WW2.
