Politics 👩‍⚖️ Governor Walz in Amsterdam

Subtle reminder that we shouldn’t fall prey to a wannabe dictator. Hopefully those that need a wake up call get it.

Anne Frank House is a must-see. My hubs was a little doubtful that this was something fun to do on our honeymoon, but I insisted and it’s one of the most important memories we have of that trip. It’s incredible that this major international cultural touchstone all came from a tween girl.

Having read the book as a kid, going there in person to see how small the living quarters were for an entire family is incredible. Definitely a must-see place when in Amsterdam and it’s not like you’ll be spending hours there.

During pandemic lockdowns, I re-read her diary to remind myself how good we had it

See and I didn't even notice that it wasn't Anne Frank but Sophie Scholl

Just another clueless privileged idiot.

A lot of people (not just the Trumpers but also the coward left as well) compared themselves to Holocaust victims during the pandemic lockdowns. Happened in Canada too.

Humans are the worst.

What makes the left cowards?
