The folks at #NewspapersDotCom have sent out a not-so-subtle message on social media.
Dictators hate to be ignored-- especially on their special days.
Remember to avoid posting about his parade on social media. Try not to interact with people who post about it. Keep the focus (and the algorithm) on things that will take the air out of his balloon, like #NoKingsDay #protests -- and pictures of #dogs .

As I leafed through an exhibition catalogue today, I came across two pictures from this series. I had never seen them before. They are fascinating documents from the period when European ideas of "race" were beginning to take shape.

Similar to a Dutch internment camp in Surinam I wrote this #Wikipedia article for a couple years ago. Likewise there Germans were interned because of their citizenship (basically, those who happened to be nearby when the war broke out; sailors, missionaries, random people). It included some known Nazi sympathizers but also non-Nazis or anti-Nazis. I don't believe it had any German-Jewish internees in that case.
