Statista - Empowering people with data

Dear Alphonso,

On January 27, 1945 - 80 years ago today - the Auschwitz concentration camp was liberated by Soviet forces. At this milestone, with adult survivors of the Holocaust approaching 100 years of age, Holocaust remembrance is at a crossroads, as the generation which bore witness to the horrors of the Shoah is shrinking in size and forces denying or diminishing it grow more fierce. A survey by the Claims Conference found that almost half of Americans cannot name a single concentration camp, while the Anti-Defamation League estimates that 4 percent of people globally deny the Holocaust.

It’s uncanny how similar Trump is acting like Hitler. People are now doing the Nazi salute. They’re drawing the symbol. The KKK was seen in Kentucky asking people to join them. ICE has been ripping families apart. Companies have pulled back Diversity Initiatives. We’re no longer part of WHO and there won’t be any communication from the CDC at least until February 1st. We’re being censored and the news can’t be trusted. Thousands of Americans didn’t know there were protests against Trump yesterday outside the U.S. Quotes from The Handmaid’s Tale and Anne Frank have been compared to what’s going on right now.

According to The Lemkin Institute for Genocide Studies and Prevention the U.S. has officially been given a red flag alert for Genocide.

I’m exhausted but I will never stop being angry.

The efforts of trusted sources is essential to defending our democracy. Here is an excerpt from the article.

“There’s no historical precedent for this barrage of executive orders. So the key question is: Does the president have the power to change how federal funding is spent with a single stroke of a pen”?

Democracy is on the ballot in Valenzuela.

Earlier, U.S. Vice President Kamala Harris offered her support. “The United States stands with the people of Venezuela who expressed their voice in today’s historic presidential election.,” Harris wrote on X. “The will of the Venezuelan people must be respected.”

Excerpt from Democracy Docket Newsletter - Eye on the Right

A Little-Known Federal Agency Helps Secure Elections. Trump Wants to Gut It.

Buried deep within Project 2025 — the Heritage Foundation’s 900-page blueprint for how the new conservative administration can slide the government into an authoritarian regime — is a cursory section suggesting reforms for a relatively new, little-known federal agency called the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA).

Formed in 2018 within the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), CISA is responsible for cybersecurity and infrastructure protection across the government. Though it’s somewhat nascent, it’s quickly become one of the federal government’s core agencies in protecting the country from cyber attacks and coordinating with state and local officials to help with cyber threats — including election threats — they otherwise aren’t equipped to handle.

Considering the size and scope of Project 2025, the section devoted to CISA is miniscule — less than 400 words in all. But what that brief section proposes for the agency could have grave implications for the future of elections — and democracy.

“The Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) is a DHS component that the Left has weaponized to censor speech and affect elections at the expense of securing the cyber domain and critical infrastructure, which are threatened daily,” writes Ken Cucinelli, Trump’s former deputy secretary of Homeland Security, in the DHS chapter of Project 2025. “A conservative Administration should return CISA to its statutory and important but narrow mission.”

With President Donald Trump’s return to the White House — and his promise of retribution to his political enemies and a radical overhaul of the federal government to his liking — election and cybersecurity experts are rightly sounding the alarm bells about Project 2025’s proposed gutting of CISA.

The source of nature’s art. There is no doubt as to the source of wonder and faith. It is in the world around us and the life of snails what they eat.

Cuban Painted Snails (Polymita Picta)

“Their colours come from their diet, lichen and mosses rich in minerals that give the shells these stunning colours. They differ according to the particular mix of plants that each snail has been eating.” - David Attenborough
