When you ask how Germans became immune to the horrors of Nazism during the 30s, remember that this is now 2025 and this crap is being said in the greatest democracy on the planet.

The standard you walk past is the standard you accept
Every single congressional Democrat needs to be out there, right now, insisting that Pete Hegseth resign right now and announcing that he will be held accountable for committing war crimes.
If you do not demand accountability here and now, they will only become more emboldened.

Exclusive: Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth gave an order to “kill everybody” in the first strike on suspected drug boats in the Caribbean. After two men survived, the mission commander ordered a second strike to comply with Hegseth’s instructions, according to two sources.

I've had a missile blow up next to my airplane, been shot at dozens of times by anti-aircraft fire, and launched into orbit — all for my country. I never thought I'd see a President call for my execution.
Trump doesn’t understand the Constitution, and we're all less safe for it.

Best case: The President of the United States knew about a pedophilia ring and did nothing to stop it.
Medium case: He also used his office to protect the perpetrators.
Worst case: Because he was one of the perpetrators.

It’s important to demand accountability for Trump’s sexually predatory targeting young girls whether or not we think we’ll get it in the form we want.
If WE stop acting like raping and trafficking minors is a big deal, then we become complicit in normalizing it.

The American people don't put people in high office so they can say "it's out of our hands." Carmine at the local deli can say it's out of his hands. The speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives can't.

The symbolism here is beyond Trump and America. It’s also about how he and his sycophants see no value in women’s contributions to America, historical or otherwise. Ironic in that 75% of the employees that worked today at my county’s board of elections were women. We keep the country moving.
