I think we all know how this story will end. At some point the owners of #bluesky will try to monetize their app, and shut down access to the API. The developers and users of these apps will be left scrambling for an alternative. Why not just build on a truly open protocol to begin with? #fediverse #mastodon #activitypub #historyrepeats
The people who yelled about "The Nuremberg Code" during the Pandemic are awfully quiet about everything else that happened in Nuremberg and has Nuremberg in the name

Do not rejoice in his defeat, you men. For though the world has stood up and stopped the bastard, the bitch that bore him is in heat again.
Education is Liberation. If we don’t fight for the right to learn, history will repeat itself again. 
in the comments if you stand for education, truth, and justice! 
@OklaBot Holy shit, I just realized as a result of anthropogenic climate change, we are quite literally seeing a repeat of the Dust Bowl from the last century. I read about this in textbooks, yet something that should have remained ancient history is now seemingly coming back from the "historical dead" so to speak. #oklahoma #dustbowl #dustbowlfarmer #dustbowlmigrants #historyrepeats #historyrepeatingitself #historyrhymes #historicalstruggleforeducation #historicallessons #historicalanalysis
The Avatars of Truth: Why We Kill Our Saviors
Across time, figures have risen from nothing, speaking words that shook empires and reshaped the world. But humanity has always failed the test, blind to the truth standing before us!

Déjàvu. This all seems so–familiar, right? Like, we've done this all before. But, that can't be. Can it? It can't happen here, right?..

Heard on marketplace today that the new thing in soda is sodas with pre-biotics. Since soda was originally sold for medicinal purposes, it's fun to see things come full circle. #historyrepeats #soda
So, a co-worker told me about this article today... Wow! What day are we on now?
How Hitler Dismantled a Democracy in 53 Days
He used the constitution to shatter the constitution.
By Timothy W. Ryback
"Ninety-two years ago this month, on Monday morning, January 30, 1933, Adolf Hitler was appointed the 15th chancellor of the #WeimarRepublic. In one of the most astonishing political transformations in the history of democracy, Hitler set about destroying a constitutional republic through constitutional means. What follows is a step-by-step account of how Hitler systematically disabled and then dismantled his country’s democratic structures and processes in less than two months’ time—specifically, one month, three weeks, two days, eight hours, and 40 minutes. The minutes, as we will see, mattered.
"Hans Frank served as Hitler’s private attorney and chief legal strategist in the early years of the Nazi movement. While later awaiting execution at Nuremberg for his complicity in Nazi atrocities, Frank commented on his client’s uncanny capacity for sensing 'the potential weakness inherent in every formal form of law' and then ruthlessly exploiting that weakness. Following his failed Beer Hall Putsch of November 1923, Hitler had renounced trying to overthrow the Weimar Republic by violent means but not his commitment to destroying the country’s #democratic system, a determination he reiterated in a Legalitätseid—'legality oath'—before the Constitutional Court in September 1930. Invoking Article 1 of the Weimar constitution, which stated that the government was an expression of the will of the people, Hitler informed the court that once he had achieved power through legal means, he intended to mold the government as he saw fit. It was an astonishingly brazen statement.
"'So, through constitutional means?' the presiding judge asked.
"'Jawohl!' Hitler replied."

Under dictator wannabe, Trump, America, took a step down that dangerous road again. History doesn’t repeat itself by accident; it happens when we forget the lessons of the past. Stay vigilant, stay informed, and never let silence become the answer. #Democracy #HistoryRepeats #Vigilance #Remember
The Tyrant’s Fall – A Warning from Sophocles

Trump administration plans to cut 80,000 employees from VA

Veterans are speaking out on the Trump administration’s plans to cut the VA’s budget
"Some historians trace the beginning of the fall of the Western Roman Empire to the Senate’s decision to reduce the soldiers’ pension. With less incentive to join the army, the Roman citizens turned to different careers. The Senate then filled the ranks of the army with Barbarians, diminishing the cohesion and discipline. These decisions are major contributing factors that lead to the fall of Rome. A cautionary tale to not mess with a veteran’s pension and post service benefits."

An Office of Ship Building and a pledge to reclaim the Panama Canal. Between this and the mineral pledge earlier (i.e., Canada as the 51st state), there can be no doubt that Trump's plan is Lebensraum 2.0.
