Vor 84 Jahren, am 2. Juli 1942, wurden 82 Kinder aus Lidice, einem kleinen Dorf in der Tschechoslowakei, der Gestapo übergeben. Diese 82 Jungen und Mädchen wurden dann in das Vernichtungslager Chelmno verlegt, wo sie vergast wurden. Diese bemerkenswerte Skulptur von Marie Uchytilova erinnert sich an sie.
Nie wieder!

Möge ihre Erinnerung ein Segen sein.

In 2007, Brian Dennis befriended a stray Iraqi desert dog named Nubs while serving near the Jordanian border. After a local man severely wounded the dog with a screwdriver, Dennis cared for him until he recovered, forming an extraordinary bond.

When Dennis’s unit was unexpectedly reassigned to a base about 70 miles away, they had no choice but to leave Nubs behind. Believing they would never see him again, the Marines departed.

Two days later, against all odds, Nubs appeared at the new outpost after reportedly following the Marines’ scent across roughly 70 miles of harsh Iraqi desert and active war zone. Moved by the dog’s determination, the Marines secretly kept him in their barracks despite military regulations. Friends and family later raised $2,000 to fly Nubs to the United States.

Nubs spent the rest of his life with Dennis in San Diego, and his remarkable story of loyalty and survival later inspired a bestselling children’s book.

🚨El futbolista argentino Lucas Trejo atraviesa uno de los momentos más devastadores de su vida. Su hermana, Karen Trejo, reveló que el jugador ha tenido que ser sedado debido al profundo estado de shock en el que se encuentra, luego de que fueran hallados sin vida su esposa, Yanina Maranella, y sus dos hijos, Aarón y Ainhoa, tras 74 horas de intensa búsqueda entre los escombros.

Durante casi tres días, Trejo removió escombros con sus propias manos con la esperanza de encontrarlos con vida. Hoy, mientras espera poder despedirse de su familia, el mundo del fútbol permanece consternado por una tragedia que ha conmovido a miles de personas y que refleja el inmenso costo humano que dejaron los terremotos en Venezuela

In Trump’s America we can:
Give $1 trillion in tax breaks to the top 1%
Spend $1.5 trillion on the bloated Pentagon
Shell out $100 billion to bomb Iran
Provide $31 billion for Israel

But we can’t:
Enact universal healthcare
End child poverty
Abolish homelessness

Unacceptable.

Amidst mountains of concrete,debris,dust & silence Rescuers in Venezuela found a scene which moved even the strongest. Under the remains of the collapsed structure a dog https://t.co/LUReHMlp5z didn't bark, stayed motionless,looking in to the eyes. And it's body became a shield, beneath it lay a child. While everything around him collapsed, this little boy was still alive, protected by a friend, who refused to move to rather than abandon his friend who needed him most.
Rescue team reports they were speechless, they found them after few days of the disaster.
The dog at first refused to come out as if he wanted to ensure the rescue of his friend.The dog was rescued. Moments later the child, amidst cheers,tears & emotions.
This image depicts something no disasters can destroy.When nature tests the strength of a people, gestures emerge that love, compassion & loyalty can appear from where we least expect them
That life always finds a reason to resist.
A miracle from God! Don't look for answers
The answer is blowing in the wind🙏

Hey friends,

I’m alive.
But this night was terrible.
One of the worst nights of my life.

Almost nonstop - explosions.
Ballistic missiles, cruise missiles and shaheds.

I finally fell asleep after sunrise for just a little while.
Even in my restless dreams,
I kept hearing explosions over and over again.

One of the strongest blasts happened in my area.
Smoke from my window.
The air still smells burned and heavy.

Last night,
I won russian roulette once again.

Today,
I’m simply grateful
to be alive.

Ese sábado fui al refugio con un plan claro ya en mente. Había elegido a mi perro en línea: un mestizo de Pitbull fuerte y guapo, con ojos gentiles y expresivos. Incluso había empezado a llamarlo Bruno antes de conocerlo.

En mi mente, todo parecía simple. La puerta del kennel se abriría, él vendría directamente hacia mí con la cola meneándose, y nos iríamos a casa juntos. Ya me imaginaba haciendo caminatas y teniendo un compañero leal a mi lado.

Pero cuando el voluntario abrió la puerta, nada salió como lo había imaginado. Bruno no se movió. Ni cola meneándose, ni emoción. Solo se quedó allí en el concreto, soltó un sonido suave e incierto, y bajó la cabeza.

Confundido, me acerqué más. “Vamos, amigo”, dije suavemente, extendiendo la correa. Me miró por un momento, luego miró más allá de mí. Cuando seguí su mirada, vi a un cachorrito mestizo diminuto acurrucado en la esquina, tratando de hacerse invisible.

El pequeño cachorro, tal vez de ocho semanas, estaba temblando. Sus ojos estaban fijos en Bruno, y Bruno lo observaba con la misma intensidad.

Fue entonces cuando lo entendí. No solo compartían un espacio. Eran el consuelo el uno del otro. En un refugio ruidoso y abrumador lleno de perros ladrando, habían encontrado una sensación de paz mutua.

Bruno no estaba siendo terco. Solo no quería dejar a su amigo atrás. Sin un solo sonido, lo dejó claro: no se iría a ningún lado solo.

En ese momento, ya no se sentía como una elección. Se sentía como lo único que había que hacer.

Me volví hacia el personal, tomé aire y pregunté: “¿Es posible adoptar a los dos?” El voluntario sonrió y dijo que habían estado esperando que alguien lo hiciera. Los dos dormían acurrucados juntos todas las noches.

Después de que se completó el papeleo y todo quedó finalizado, salieron del refugio uno al lado del otro, manteniéndose cerca, tal como siempre estuvieron destinados a estar.

THIS CANNOT BE ALLOWED TO HAPPEN!

Trump wants to cut down Washington DC's oldest grove of cherry trees along and eliminate the public biking path and picnic areas so he can build a golf course on public land, using public dollars, and taking spaces away from the public.

🇺🇸 Trump at 8:00 PM: "Unlike Obama and Biden, we had a historic victory in Iran."

🇺🇸 Biden at 9:00 PM: "Yeah Absolutely historic. You haven’t been able to open the Strait of Hormuz for 109 days, 17 hours, and 38 min. It was open when I was in office. What a Loser." 😂 🔥

Absolute cinema by Biden🔥
