On this day Aug 4, 1944: Anne Frank was arrested after 2 years in hiding. Not by monsters in uniforms but by neighbors. Today, governors threaten political enemies with removal. ICE raids target families. LGBTQ+ people are banned from bookshelves. Never again means nothing if you stay silent.
60,000 in camps already. It meant nothing. America failed. It's not failing. It failed.
What kind of bookshelves are people inhabiting?
80 years have gone by, but fascism will never change.
We are definitely right back to that same situation, here in the USA, despite our supposed victory in World War 2. But we have better technology, and today's fascists are not the most competent. It will be a serious struggle to defeat fascism, but defeat it we must.
"This struggle may be a moral one, or it may be a physical one, and it may be both moral and physical, but it must be a struggle. Power concedes nothing without a demand. It never did and it never will." --Frederick Douglass www.blackpast.org/african-amer...
Everyone who's staying silent is afraid to catch the spotlight and be harassed by the Nazis.
It’s not banned. It’s just not available to the really young children. Limiting books for elementary school children because of content isn’t banning a book.
FWIW, the word they themselves use is ‘banned.’
Yup who’d have thought we’d have Nazism on this planet ever again in 2025 much less here? But here it is.
Silence? The French Resistance would not have gotten far if it had been broadcasting who they were.Think you could hide Anne Frank yourself if you were constantly posting how much you hate the Nazis? Or Hitler? Sometimes, silence is strategic.
SPOT ON, Jason!... 🎯💯🎯...Silence is far from being Golden when you are watching Innocent People and a Country being Destroyed by Maniacal Monsters!! 😡😡😡
I always wonder how those neighbors felt after reading Anne's diary. I hope they suffered painful moral and physical regret.
You should ask the students that harassed the Jewish students on American campuses, for being Jewish, how they felt about harassing the Jewish students.
I would, but that has nothing to do with German people who turned Anne Frank in. Now, if you can explain to me how this is relevant to Anne Frank, I will gladly ask MY FRIENDS who Jewish students how they felt about Anne Frank being harassed, Batty. Go ahead boo, defend your position
The relevance is that some people looked the other way as Jewish students were being harassed for just being Jewish students. Some didn’t just look away, some participated in the harassment because some people made the decision that the Jewish people were bad because they were Jewish.
The relevance is not even comparable. Anne Frank died because she was turned in to the Gestapo. No Jewish college students have died because someone protested A better analogy would be to compare a neighbor turning in an undocumented immigrant to ICE then the immigrant dying in a concentration camp
Leader of the so called free world.I love concentration camps.
Did I go too far.?
Are people making money by turning people into ICE?
www.newsweek.com/ice-report-i...
There you go! I knew it. People like that have ZERO morals. It’s always about what THEY get in return. Sickos. Especially the PoC who do it. No amount of money would be worth any of this 💩
Ruin a life for $1000, that you may not get. You can't trust any part of tRumps government.
I agree. I’m just trying to figure out why anyone who isn’t MAGA would do it. It’s so horrifying!
Right. He's literally famous for NOT paying people.
I hope that happens!
Why “especially the PoC that do it”? I think you assume that “people of color” are mostly illegal immigrants or are for breaking our laws. Why else would it be seen as more immoral for them to call out those not here legally?
Fact !!
If you think about the current leadership in the US, be it one side or the other; which of them could have survived two years in hiding?
And now Gov Greg Abbotts plan to steal the 2026 election is to make it easier for Donald Trump to rape little girls. Got it.
Sadly, the lessons of history are completely lost on the trump cult.
Always remember Anne Frank ⚖️
I am at the point where I am willing to hide people that ICE is after.
A lawyer who recently quit DOJ said the final straw for her was when the administration told them to turn in people who had engaged in “bias due to DEI.” She said she thought of Anne Frank and the decision was clear.
ICE can be used by anyone who desires to have someone else removed for any reason. Anyone.
Gotcha
You forgot: women are suffering and even dying because of draconian anti-abortion laws.
trust me I didn't forget and never would, but you're right I should included that in my post......
Plus she didn't die in a concentration camp, per se, but a holding camp much like that crocodile monstrosity from a preventable disease...
No, she was not arrested by neighbors, she was betrayed by one person, not one of their neighbors either, she was arrested by uniformed nazi-collaborating Dutch police officers!
The identity of the person who betrayed Anne Frank has never been definitively proven, though several theories have been investigated over the years, the most likely being a neighbor.....but why is THAT what you are focusing on?
By neighbors. What a heartbreaking commentary on the state of humanity.
It would happen again today. That’s the heartbreaking commentary on the state of humanity.
Thank you for posting this. I reposted
And they freaked out about Biden speaking with a red background. Dastardly narcissists
Thank you for knowing this. Thank you for sharing it with us.✌🏾
Absolutely it has already started in this country unfortunately here we go again I thought we said collectively never again
You cannot erase history!! Those wonderful books are here forever!!
It doesn’t start with camps. It starts with compliance. With neighbors looking away. With cruelty becoming policy and silence becoming practice. History isn’t just repeating—it’s begging us to notice.
This is what I cry about in therapy.I can’t believe we are here.
Humans are the worst
Sign of the day They came for the Hispanics & I spoke up B C i know the rest of the fuckin poem! R 💙 ✌️
All the chaos and inhumanity comes from the top. Lower MAGA feels empowered
Our country is living in this horrific nightmare now
because you supported israel doing it to Palestinians so they figured it was cool with you guys
And civilians in Ukraine
😡
Just recently reread her diary. It’s always worth revisiting.
The SS were surprised and delighted to discover that locals would gladly round up their neighbors and shoot them in the streets.
Yes!!! this is a great post and I’ve re-shared it. Thank you so much, Jason.
A majority of the actionable information the Gestapo had came from people turning in their neighbors. Expect more of the same. …It’s also a great way to get even with those folks across the street who are so disagreeable.
Very true
America is no longer the land of the free. It is now the land of concentration camps where Trump and his Gestapo will house everyone who opposes them. With hurricane season ramping up, the inmates at Alligator Alcatraz will be in peril.
Interesting how you left out the Palestinian Holocaust
Yes
Read your second amendment and arm yourself. The nazis are kicking in our doors. Wake the fuck up and fight back!!!
This broke my heart
It’s happening again
Remember when making Nazi atrocities comparisons was considered offensive to the Jewish people that went through actual atrocities? Gina Carano remembers…
A reminder of what happened in the past will and is happening today the same sort of fascists who are intent on destroying our Democracy. I currently see updated versions of Anne Frank hiding,afraid to be seen in public and not going about their lives. Corp Media doesn't care. It's up to us to fight
Many never come to a point in their lives where it is fight or die. We are swiftly coming to that point. You have to review what you stand for, and what you will not allow to pass on your watch. Otherwise you're just another statistic waiting to be documented.
People want to wait until the food runs out, the gas runs out, they are fighting for minimal survival and haven't the strength to fight. That is, of course, what this Republican regime wants of us. I will show up now, while I can still put gas in my car to get there.
Exactly. Don't wait until you're on your knees to fight. Act early before the weeds take root and you still have plenty of hands available for the task. Don't deny your children one day of sunshine for these fools. Don't deny yourself one day of peace for their antics. Strike now.
Exactly. Giving up our joy is obeying in advance. I will not do that. I will protest, prepare, and dance.
Many *DO come to a kill or be killed Fight or die Point plenty of times Yet we choke probably Then there are so many instances where it’s best to just die
I've outlived my child. I won't go down without bringing a few along with me.
They’re not even documenting who they’re taking. They’re literally erasing people like they never existed. No tattooed numbers on arms, just. Gone. 🫥 ❤️🩹
I think we’ve learned by now that “never again” was only for one specific time period, because it keeps happening.
No. It meant "never again AGAINST us, but it's fine when we DO it to others."
And selective demographics
So many casually political people are complete suckers, they hear one thing that sounds reasonable and run with that without ever trying to find out if the basis of it is true. This country is being taken over because it is stupid in virtually every aspect of life, an unsustainable reality.
No one here is silent
Afro* diasporas thru tinted off color demographics
Latinas could be the palest ever assimilated phenotypes and also everything on a spectrum of textures, features, & complexion ranges
Notice they're not going after illegal whites
Right from Hitler play book and you can tell Trump has German ancestry blood through his evil ass veins!!
"Drumpf."
Not all German decedents are Nazis. In fact, some fought the Nazis in WWII. Now Trump ancestry is not the issue. It is his pathology. In other words, he is insane.
You’ve lost the plot. To everyone on the far left, all Republicans are Nazis and fascists because they think that’s the way to get people to vote their way. They forget that people vote by themselves at the polls and that some people are just not arguing with them because they think they’re nuts
All Nazis and fascists are Nazis and fascists. The fact that they all belong to the same party just means those members who claim they aren’t are liars. They know which side they’re on. They’re just too ashamed to say what they believe because they know how disgusting they are.
At some point, you’re going to have to realize that YOU’RE A FASCIST NAZI isn’t going to get people to vote for your candidates.
I don’t want candidates that Nazis support. Sad?
What candidates do you support that support your Marxist ideology? Who are you going to campaign for to bring you the Marxist agenda that you so desperately want?
What specific policies must one have to adopt to not be called a fascist or a Nazi? There have to be specific policies that one must have to push for the left to accept that the person isn’t a fascist or a Nazi. What are they?
Key Characteristics of Fascist System Opposition to Marxism Opposition to Political and Cultural Liberalism Glorification of the State Extreme Nationalism Imperialism Opposition to Parliamentary Democracy Totalitarian Ambition Millitary Values Acceptance of Racism Conservative Economic Policies
Yours is the most honest answer to the question about what you think is fascism. The problem is that once you get your Marxist regime, the extreme nationalism, glorification of the state and totalitarianism will be celebrated by the left while promoting the violent opposition to Marxism.
So you don’t like dictionaries because you find that you’re the definition of a fascist. Makes perfect rational sense. Nazi.
Your definition of a fascist is the dictionary definition of fascist but your definition that the opposition to Marxism is the definition of fascism is the most honest that I’ve heard. It’s not going to get capitalist Democrats to vote for the candidates that you support but it’s the most honest
I take it requirement #1 to be a Nazi is your #1 too. Just a coincidence I’m sure. Christian too right? Back the blue, support our troops? Seeing it yet????
We need to start making plans people. Make as many connections as you can. Hold on to your true friends tight. We need to think outside the box that we are in. Cash and barter system. We have until the mid-terms to get things in place. But if it goes the way I think it will... we need to be ready.
Everyone must be required to read Anne Frank's diary. Unfortunately, it has been banned in some schools because of the intimacy between Anne and Peter. By the way, they kiss in the book.
We can stop with the “never again” bs because it has happened countless times already
Florida schools banned The Diary of Anne Frank
Can't say, "Never Again", while it is happening again. The monsters in this era are the Americans who freely choose this.
Good morning My Mother was neighbours with, Anne Frank, in Amsterdam bsky.app/profile/firs...
Exactly
Can I get a pass if they come for my immigrant neighbor? He is a big Trump supporter who thinks the USA would be better off if Vladimir Putin ran it.
Somewhere in USA Today multiple families are hiding from ICE in the EXACT SAME WHITE SUPREMACY WAY. They pay taxes, have Drivers Licence, kids who go to school here, mortgages, car loans, college debt, even healthcare debt. Only difference, US media does not make any stories of their lives.
People who see ICE arresting people because it is “illegal” should remember. It was illegal to help Anne Frank. It was illegal for her not to be in a concentration camp. It was illegal not to report where she was hiding.
😞😞😞
Trans Americans have much worse problems under this junta than being banned from a bookstore.
Only this time it looks like the neighbors are against the gestapo
Just like history, they do not believe it will happen to them. Impeach the mango moron, release the Epstein files.
I remember reading Anne Frank's diary when I was in 6th or 7th grade and being grateful that nothing like that could ever happen in the U.S. Silly me.
Gaza!
difference between my view of whats happening in America today& most peoples is 1st I’m 70 years old&have more life experiences than most! A big one was reading Anne Frank out loud in elementary school as a class reading. I felt the exact same terror I feel today looking at trump! He’s one of them!
My grade 5 class read Anne Franks & one boy declared proudly “Hitler OWNED the Jews!” This was 10 years ago Admin had ZERO issues or consequences for this 10yr old who is now 20 This boy was Jehovah’s Witness I felt bad/worried that this was his outlook so young We’re losing our humanity 😕
