Only fools are worshipping at the altar of #Trump. That’s about. 0.00001% of the planet. Thank God.
“Trump has succeeded in alienating virtually every traditional ally of the US as president, and much of this is linked to his obsession with NATO funding and defense spending more generally. But it’s also because of his willingness to insert himself into the domestic politics of other countries and say whatever is on his mind.”
On this day, 7 September 1942, German American anti-Nazi resistance activist and writer Mildred Fish-Harnack was arrested in Preil with her husband Arvid. They were leading activists in what the Nazis dubbed the “Red Orchestra”: a socialist literary circle which became an underground antifascist organisation. Mildred helped recruit other resistance activists and helped Jews escape Germany. Mildred was sentenced to 6 years’ hard labour, while Arvid was sentenced to death. Hitler then ordered a retrial for Mildred, after which she was sentenced to death. She was the only woman executed on Hitler’s personal orders. https://www.facebook.com/workingclasshistory/photos/a.296224173896073/1205509329634215/?type=3
