Today is Holocaust Remembrance Day, but the Uyghur Genocide is still going on. Families are still being destroyed. Uyghur identity is still being beaten out of children. Untold numbers are still enslaved. If today means anything, honor the victims of the Shoah with action.

Before the 1936 Berlin Olympics, Hitler had already invaded the Rhineland and passed the Nuremberg laws. After getting a stamp of approval from the world community through the Olympics, things only got worse. theguardian.com/world/2021/f…

"When we say never again, we should really mean it, and we should do something active about it." Please listen to these Holocaust survivors' call to action against the Chinese government's persecution of the Uyghurs. And open this thread to find out what you can do.

One thing you can do right now is donate to support relief efforts for Uyghur refugees in Turkey. Help our friends at @CUyghurs meet their goal of $10,000 to directly support homeless Uyghur youth seeking refuge from the concentration camps. campaignforuyghurs.org/donat…

Looks like it is easier for POTUS to fire the Sec of State than it is to get my kid out of class for a dentist appointment.
