When most Americans think of #WWII, the story starts on December 7, 1941, with the bombing of Pearl Harbor. But the United States had been edging toward war with Germany for several months before Japanese Zeros screamed over the Hawaiian Islands, as President Franklin D Roosevelt made clear with his “shoot-on-sight” Fireside Chat to the nation on September 11, 1941.

My husband discovered the 'cozy' British TV mystery, "BOOKISH," because one of his idols, Mark Gatiss, wrote it and stars in it. Zack soon became bored with the mystery genre pacing, but I've found a new favorite! #markgatiss #bookish #books #sellingbooks #bookselling #bookseller #vintage #period #periodpiece #1940s #england #britain #britainafterthewar #worldwartwo #worldwarII #wwII #devotedcouple #romance #mystery #excitement #interesting #anglophile #anglophilia #london

NPR: How AI is being used to track art stolen by the Nazis. “During World War II, the Nazis looted more than 600,000 works of art, mostly owned by Jews. In the decades since, there’s been an effort to get these works back to their owners, but it’s not easy, and roughly a fifth of them have still not been returned. Now, a new AI chatbot might be making that complicated process a little simpler.”

🌅This morning at Forest Dale Cemetery in Malden, a small group of us came together to place flags on veterans’ graves.
🇺🇸 Every flag carries a story of courage and sacrifice — from Revolutionary soldiers to today.
🕊️Freedom has always come at a cost, paid by someone’s son, daughter, parent, or neighbor.
Let’s continue to honor their legacy.🇺🇸

#Revolutionaries behind the 1908 Hanoi Poison Plot detained at the Hoa Lo Prison by the French colonists in 1941.
13 of them had their heads chopped off instantly and displayed in public. The French later used the photo for an #Indochina #propaganda postcard.
Whilst the second world war was raging across the world, in Vietnam the #VietMinh #Liberation Movement, led by famed revolutionary Ho Chi Minh, was taking birth. #HoChiMinh had one dream. An independent Vietnam free of foreign rule.
The first year after the war had Japan, and then Britain keen to get their hands on Vietnam. But they were soon replaced by Vietnam’s old colonial rulers: the French.
For nine long years, thereafter, from 1946 to 1954 the First Indochina War ripped across the country. Spilling blood, lives, and peace. On one side were the French. More adamant to stay. More aggressive in their rule. They were helped by the US who provided advisers, funding, and weapons from behind the scenes.
Anti-communist Vietnamese loyalists aided the French rulers’ legitimacy. On the other side was Ho Chi Minh and his revolutionaries.Things eventually came to a head in 1954 with the Geneva Conference and creation of the 17th Parallel, a Demilitarized Zone [DMZ] on 17 degrees latitude north.

I've hinted at this (below) before, as we've watched the #USA slide into #fascism. But with #ICE and the #DoJ now routinely ignoring court orders, or engaging in malicious compliance, and offering obviously bad-faith arguments about how their actions didn't actually violate court orders, it's become pretty apparent that the #immigration issue is the one driving this #lawless #government.
Did I say immigration? Sorry, I meant the #racist issue. The administration has been very clear and very explicit about their actual goals - bragging about how they're going to "restore" #America with 100,000,000 #deportations. That's basically the number of non-white people in the #country, most of whom were born in the USA and are lawful, #inalienable #citizens. Then there are the slogans and mottos stolen directly from the #Nazis, talking about #purifying Germany and all the rest. They are not being subtle about this.
Building #concentration camps is a pretty solid clue, too. The death #camps in #WWII started out like this, trying to #deport people. But when you can't move fast enough, well, you gotta do something, right? So #gas chambers and #crematoriums... ICE isn't meeting its #deportation quotas, so they're letting people die of neglect and abuse. It'll get there.
So, the point: if (big IF) #USAnians can recover their #country, it won't really be over until #Stephen #Miller meets his end after a short #drop and sudden stop at the #Hague.
