Witold Pilecki was murdered by the communist regime on 25 May 1948. He is considered one of the greatest wartime heroes. Pilecki was the only person to voluntarily enter the German Death Camp in Auschwitz. He gathered intelligence about the German atrocities committed at the camp and organised the underground resistance movement. The European Parliament has set this day as the International Day of Heroes of the Fight against Totalitarianism.

@CptAllenHistory I took this photo of a plaque for him, in the gardens across from the Auschwitz entrance. Hard to comprehend his heroism. To go into Auschwitz for the information.

On this day in 1948, Polish Army officer Witold Pilecki was executed in cold blood by the communists. Pilecki is known worldwide for deliberately entering the Auschwitz concentration camp as a prisoner to gather intelligence about the crimes committed there. His mission lasted almost 3 years. But what he experienced after WWII at the hands of the communists was even worse: he even said that Auschwitz was child's play for him compared to the tortures he endured at Warsaw's Mokotow Prison. He was tortured by the communists in an outright barbaric manner: his fingernails and toenails were torn out, his testicles were crushed, and he was impaled on a stool leg. He was subjected to inhuman torment. This is one of the last quotes of Pilecki before he was executed: "I've been trying to live my life so that in the hour of my death I would rather feel joy than fear." And this is the last known picture of him, taken when he participated in the communist show trial:

On This Day — May 25, 1948 They put a bullet in the back of his head. The man they executed that day was Witold Pilecki — the only person in history who voluntarily walked into Auschwitz. In 1940, this Polish cavalry officer deliberately got himself arrested during a Nazi roundup in Warsaw. Using a false identity, he entered hell as prisoner #4859. For two and a half years, Pilecki lived as a starving skeleton in striped rags while secretly building a resistance network inside the camp. He smuggled out the first detailed eyewitness reports of the Nazi death machine to the Allies — gas chambers, selections, medical experiments, and the systematic murder of Jews. While he was there, more than 1,000 Jews per day were being gassed and burned. At its peak in 1944, the killing rate reached more than 6,000 per day. He saw it all. He documented it all. He risked everything so the world would know. In April 1943, Pilecki escaped by overpowering a guard at a bakery outside the wire. He rejoined the fight, battled in the Warsaw Uprising, and later resisted the Soviet occupation of Poland. For his courage, the communist regime tortured him, staged a show trial, and executed him on May 25, 1948. One of the great heroes of the 20th century. Remember his name: Witold Pilecki.

We need to apologize to our ancestors.

Ebola risk does not follow borders. It follows broken trust, delayed diagnostics, fragile health systems, and gaps in preparedness. The 2026 Bundibugyo outbreak is a warning: biological threats are moving faster than our institutions. @Forbes @wbbsec: forbes.com/sites/stephenb…

This passage from Leo's Encyclical is perfect. Perfect.

At this point Trump is no longer just a global novelty. He's no longer simply an embarrassment. He's a threat to the country he was elected to represent. He is, at best, a narcissist and at worst a sociopath. Either way he's out of control and poses a direct threat to this country. He must be removed from office before it is simply too late.

If you sense that things are going haywire for Trump and the GOP, you’re right and @ed_kilgore explains why: He has gone from being a populist (even if a phony one) to being unpopulist — on the ballroom, the war, all his corrupt self-dealing & much else. nymag.com/intelligencer/…

"He’s angry that Americans don’t just take his word for it that they need to pay higher prices for gasoline or light and heat so that he can win some more wars and peace prizes. And he is indifferent at best to how very bad it looks that he is devoting more time to his many tacky and self-glorifying vanity projects than to his day job."

New for @PuckNews Trump is behaving as though he’s sitting on top of the political world. In reality, he may be presiding over his own undoing. He has alarmed Hill Republicans with his increasingly brazen conduct. They’re perplexed, angry, and, in some cases, resigned that Trump cares more about himself than the midterms. puck.news/gop-mini-rebel…

🚨Congressman Thomas Massie dropped the bombshell everyone was waiting for: He revealed Epstein's hidden list and exposed Kash Patel for lying to the American people. Massie says: 'The FBI has files with the names of 20 other men involved with Epstein in the sex trafficking network, including a high-ranking government official.'"

Wildlife-vehicle collisions cost the US around $8 to $10 billion every year. 200 human deaths, 26,000 injuries, and about a million animals dead. A standard wildlife overpass with fencing costs as little as $5 to $10 million. If the US spent $8 billion a year on them, we could build a 800+ a year. Banff National Park built 44 crossings over three decades. Wildlife-vehicle collisions there dropped by 80%. The crossings paid for themselves in avoided property damage and injuries within a few years. The evidence is strong: wildlife crossings save animal lives, reduce injuries, and often pay back substantial costs over time. The remaining challenge is finding the will to build them.

Harmeet Dhillon is the DOJ's civil rights chief. Her office exists to protect the right to vote. This week she sent a records preservation letter to Maryland election officials - at President Trump's direction, after Trump publicly claimed the mail-in ballot error was deliberately engineered by Maryland's governor to help Democrats win. In Dhillon's own letter, she calls it a "vendor error." In her own social media post, she calls them "mistakes." She is executing a federal surveillance request premised on a fraud claim she herself will not repeat under her own signature. Maryland's election board caught the error before anyone else did. Announced it publicly on May 15. Replacement ballots are going out in envelopes marked "REPLACEMENT BALLOT INSIDE." The Help America Vote Act already requires ballot retention after elections - Dhillon acknowledged this in the same letter she sent. Her letter also gets the primary date wrong. Maryland's primary is June 23. She wrote June 3. The Civil Rights Division was built to protect voting rights. It is now building a federal surveillance record around a functioning state election, on the basis of a fraud claim its own chief won't sign her name to.
