1 - Today marks the fifth anniversary of the mass sexual attacks in Cologne.
Around 1000 Muslim men, most of whom had only arrived in Germany a few months before, claiming to be refugees, subjected 100s of German women celebrating New Years Eve to savage racial + sexual assault

They stuck their fingers up their vaginas and anuses, and inside their bras.
They shot fireworks at them.
They robbed them.
Some were raped.
The truth came out on social media + when the scale could no longer be denied, they tried very hard to pretend that it was nothing to do with Islam

If 1000s of white, Christian men had walked into a Muslim country and racially and sexually assaulted 100s of Muslim girls celebrating Ramadan?
But then I’ve lived in Muslim countries and knew what was coming.

My first observations in the main thread are here, but this offshoot is needed because there's been so many wise & witty things I've
37.90/ Limbaugh was a cruel hate-machine who made a fortune off hurting people. To say "don't speak ill of the dead" is the attitude of abuse enablers.

If you can't condemn a ghoul who dedicated his life to destroying society, you're part of the problem! https://t.co/ijvG2zDACH
2/ First, re: those who in their wayward moral obtuseness feel we "can't speak ill of the dead." I've said that this is what abuse enablers say, but I hear that some religious traditions preach this. Oy.

It\u2019s ok\u2014essential, even\u2014to speak the truth about people who caused great harm.

Even after their death.
5/ We're coming up on #Purim, and that's all about how to remember evil. There may be a reason, then, that I share the attitude of many other people committed to righting
