A poignant and beautifully written report by @freedland from yesterday’s 75th anniversary ceremony at Auschwitz theguardian.com/world/2020/jan…
@Freedland “Auschwitz did not fall from the sky” but was the destination reached after a thousand smaller steps, each one stripping a single minority of its dignity and humanity. After the Shoah, Turski said, “The 11th commandment is: thou shalt not be indifferent.”
@Freedland “ They know that a postwar world order constructed in the shadow of Auschwitz – an architecture of international institutions and supposedly universal human rights – is in peril, the conscious and deliberate target of populist nationalist governments in Europe and beyond”

A few brief thoughts on #HolocaustMemorialDay and the 75th anniversary of the first Russian troops reaching Auschwitz murder camp (thread)
I find the idea that Auschwitz was 'liberated' an incongruous one. I understand what people mean but listening to the very few survivors (over 1m people were murdered there) I'm not sure they will ever truly be 'liberated' from the horror of seeing their families murdered
Both sides of my family reached the UK from Eastern Europe around 50 years before the Holocaust, probably fleeing the pogroms (anti-Jewish riots) which were part of the slow and steady build up to the Holocaust. They were refugees just like the many we now turn away

Balls to it

I've long dealt with people dismissing my takes on #mentalhealth as I'm an aloof academic who only deals in 'the science'. Ergo I rank lower than someone with 'real experience' (e.g. Hari), apparently

You want to know why I'm so invested? I'll tell you

And yes, there is talk of suicide in this, so #TW and so forth. Apologies in advance for any distress, feel free to mute/block/unfollow if that's a bit much.

/2
Why do I care so much about mental health being covered/explained correctly & compassionately, when I've no (known) issues myself? Other than 'It's obviously the right thing to do and only a heartless prick could think otherwise', that is?

As ever, it started in childhood

Today is climate strike day. Millions of people across the world, according to the organisers, will be marching to save the planet.

But having dug into what they're actually marching for, I'm profoundly uneasy. So uneasy, in fact, that it's time for a THREAD.
One of the key demands of @GretaThunberg et al is that people respect the science, and unite behind it. I completely agree. But the manifesto for the climate strike movement isn't just unscientific, but actively anti-science - and hugely dangerous as a result.
@GretaThunberg If you go to the Global Climate Strike website (globalclimatestrike.net), and look under 'What are we asking for?', you find these demands

Many of you are wondering what Hong Kong is all about. Read this book. Milton Friedman loves this man and it’s no surprise he’s mentioned in intro. Architect of Prosperity: Sir John Cowperthwaite and the Making of ... amazon.co.uk/dp/1907994696/… #Amazon
If ever there was a time for he financial community to step up, this is it. I don’t advocate the old Hong Kong model at this stage of our era but those philosophies should pose as a valid anchor on needless government expansion. East and West amazon.co.uk/dp/0330373080/…
Free health care, education, UBI-ish implementation and radical financialisation reform is critical. But those civil servants pulled off a miracle. Study it. Follow @BretWeinstein as an evolving lens into the social software upgrade we’re exploring.

And we're off. Contain your joy. May thanks "everyone in our country going the extra mile" to help people in the snow.
She says she has "listened carefully to all" the views on how to do Brexit. Must have missed the meeting.
She is now reading out seemingly all of the speech she made outside Downing Street when she became PM.

"We made important progress..." Labour benches start laughing.
(BTW will be commenting using these threaded tweets, so mute the first one now if you want to avoid an unspeakable load of hogwash)
