Kristallnacht was launched because of the assassination of Ernst vom Rath in Paris in 1938. But the Nazis had been planning this pogrom long before that night, and were just waiting for the right moment, the right match to be lit.

Something to think about.

Charlie Kirk never served one day in uniform nor one day in office. He made memes on the internet and said shitty things about people on podcasts. If this is who Republicans consider a hero and want to display in death, let them. It says more about them than anyone against their ideology ever could.

This is not an explanation or denial about Hegseth reposting video saying 19th A should be repealed & women should vote only through their husband casting a ballot. We need the #ERA & the 19th and a government. Keep resisting and working for that goal in 2026.

We don't have the right to health? What is he talking about.
Dr. Oz: The uninsured “don’t have the right to health,” but should be given “a way of crawling back out of the abyss” with “15-minute physicals” provided by the government “in a festival like setting.” (2022)

Trump announced he wants to cut $163B that would've gone to health care, housing, child care, education, clean energy, nutrition, & research.

But he wants $1 trillion for the Pentagon, which has never passed an audit.

It was never about waste, fraud, and abuse. It's about making the rich richer.

We only know this man is in Gitmo because Noem tweeted a propaganda photo that included him and his sister saw it. He has no criminal record. He entered the US in January and immediately made an appointment with CBP to claim asylum. They sent him to a concentration camp bc of his basketball tattoo.

President Trump promised voters he wouldn’t waste precious American lives and taxpayer dollars on far-off wars and nation building.

But just weeks into his second term, he's laid out plans to “take over” Gaza, reclaim the Panama Canal and buy Greenland.

The rhetorical shift from America First to America Everywhere is leaving even some of his allies slack-jawed — and wondering if he’s really serious.
