"What is the cost of lies? It's not that we'll mistake them for the truth. The real danger is that if we hear enough lies, then we no longer recognize the truth at all." - Valery Legasov, "Chernobyl"

The Dept of Education's plan to downgrade the classification of nursing to "nonprofessional" is the latest step in this regime's attack on women. The move will impact student's ability to receive federal student loans, thus dissuading many from entering the field. Consequences will be widely felt.

Nuremberg is out, and I am making a special request you go see it.
Go see Nuremberg: not only will it teach you about the Nazis’ many, many crimes, including the Holocaust which is (rightly) the one thing people know about the Third Reich.

Hey Megyn Kelly,
14-year-old Eloise would like a word:
“If my voice makes you uncomfortable, good…
because the minute adults start defending predators by defending the age of a child, you’re not protecting the truth, you’re protecting the predator.”
Sound up! 🔥🔊

1/ Today I had the pleasure of meeting two very nice veterans. One who has been laid off without pay from the govt job he took after military service. Two tours of duty in Iraq. Now doing food delivery to pay his mortgage and buy groceries for his family.

In an unforgettable Veterans Day moment, former President Barack Obama surprised dozens of Korean and Vietnam War veterans as their Honor Flight landed in Washington, D.C. The veterans, fresh off their flight from Madison, Wisconsin, were greeted by President Obama himself.

There will be another 60 vote Friday* on the garbage shutdown deal. If we can convince just one Senator from the 52 republicans and 8 Dems that voted yes to flip, we could still stop this. Please jump on the phone today, call them, and share this widely.

My Senator. Thank you sir.
It is a massive mistake to strip tens of millions of people of their health insurance. It’s an outright betrayal of what families need.

1/ The US Government has quietly removed a memorial to Black soldiers who died in World War II from the Netherlands American Cemetery in Margraten, South Limburg. The move follows a complaint from the right-wing Heritage Foundation to the American Battle Monuments Commission. ⬇️

The Nazis targeted the disabled too.
ICE agents in Chicago violently detain a non verbal autistic man for being “non compliant”
He couldn’t “comply” because of his disability…they don’t care
This is not the first time they’ve gone after a disabled person
They target the most vulnerable because it’s an easy way to meet their quota
