I do this all for you buddy —-On this day, 11 June 1943, Karl Gorath, a 20-year-old gay German nurse, was deported to the Auschwitz concentration camp. He was first arrested for homosexuality after being denounced by a jealous lover in 1939, and given a prison sentence. After his release he was sent to the Neuengamme concentration camp, where he was made to wear a pink triangle denoting LGBT+ prisoners. Working in the camp's health department, with some comrades he attempted to smuggle food to Russian prisoners, who were being starved to death. Their plan was discovered by the Nazis, who then sentenced Gorath to transportation to Auschwitz as a criminal and political prisoner, to be denoted with a red triangle. Despite contracting dysentery, he managed to survive the war and was released in 1945. But within a few months he was arrested again by West German authorities, who had kept the homophobic Nazi laws intact. His case was overseen by the same judge, who greeted him with the words "You are already here again!" and gave him the maximum sentence of five years. His lawyer requested that his time served in the concentration camps be counted as part of this, but his request was denied. After his release, because of his convictions he was unable to get a job for a decade. And when the time came to draw his pension, his years interned in concentration camps were deducted from his allowance, as were his unemployment payments. He died in 2003, having never received compensation for his treatment, unlike some other Holocaust survivors. He told his story in a 2000 documentary, "Paragraph 175", named after the relevant section of the penal code.

BREAKING🚨 ICE cut a deportation hype video to Ariana Grande’s “Bye” and posted it on the White House TikTok. Ariana saw it and fired back: “barbaric, inhumane, heinous nonsense… F**k ICE.” The clip went up earlier this week on an official White House account. It shows Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents in tactical gear arresting people, putting them in handcuffs and loading them into vehicles. Over the top, they used Ariana’s 2024 track “Bye” as the soundtrack, with a caption bragging about Trump delivering “the most secure border in history.” It was a deportation reel dressed up as pop culture content. Ariana found the video, went straight into the comments and left a message that reporters quickly screenshotted. “Please do not ever use my music in relation to this barbaric, inhumane, heinous nonsense. F**k ICE,” she wrote. Her team has confirmed the quote is real, even though the comment later stopped showing publicly on the post. After the backlash, the audio on the TikTok was quietly muted. This is not happening in a vacuum. For over a year, the Trump administration has been pumping out slick social clips of ICE raids and charter flights full of deportees, often set to Top 40 songs they did not ask permission to use. Olivia Rodrigo called out Homeland Security last year for putting “all-american bitch” over a “self-deportation” video. Jess Glynne’s “Hold My Hand” was dropped into another deportation montage. Each time, the pattern is the same. Federal power on screen. Pop music on top. Human beings turned into content. Ariana’s line cuts through that spin. She is not just protecting her brand. She is putting a clear label on what the government is trying to normalize. Families being separated, people disappeared from their communities, entire flights of immigrants expelled from the country while officials celebrate with meme captions and stolen soundtracks. Artists have leverage here. Their songs are the emotional engine for a lot of this propaganda. When they refuse consent, when they say openly “do not use my music to sell cruelty,” it breaks the illusion that this is just another trending video. It exposes what is really on screen. If you appreciate my posts, it would mean the world if you followed my page. Thank you for b

BREAKING🚨 While the Epstein files were being quietly redacted inside the Situation Room, survivors’ names were exposed and powerful men stayed hidden. The man in those meetings is now Trump’s pick for attorney general. The survivors are saying absolutely not. Nineteen women who survived Jeffrey Epstein’s abuse have come forward together to oppose Todd Blanche’s nomination as Trump’s permanent attorney general. Their letter responds to a report that Blanche joined closed door White House meetings in the Situation Room about how to handle the political fallout from the Epstein files, at the exact moment survivors and members of Congress were demanding full transparency. Those meetings were not about opening new investigations. They were about managing a public relations crisis. According to the survivors, senior officials focused on “the release of Epstein files as a reputational concern” rather than using that mandate to chase leads, follow names and finally expose the full network of abusers and enablers. The women are specific about Blanche’s role. As acting attorney general, he oversaw the release process after Congress forced the administration to make Epstein related records public. Survivors say those releases were riddled with problems. Their private information was exposed in some documents. At the same time, names of alleged co conspirators and powerful associates stayed hidden behind thick black redactions or were withheld entirely. Blanche has repeatedly told the press and senators that he has engaged with survivors and taken their concerns seriously. The women flatly deny it. In their statement, they say he has not met with any of them, that their requests for meetings went nowhere and that he has “consistently minimized legitimate concerns” about the files. They call his nomination “a clear case of failing upward.” This is not just about paperwork. Survivors argue that the Justice Department found time to manage Ghislaine Maxwell’s interview, stage manage transcripts and announce the Epstein review is “over” while leaving victims to beg for basic answers. They point out that many have already reported crimes, multiple times, and are now being told to come forward again because the system did not act. Their demand to the Senate is blunt. They want an attorney general who will use the full power of the office to seek justice, protect future victims and finally bring the whole Epstein network into the light, instead of treating survivor privacy and public transparency as political problems to be managed.
