Denying the Holocaust is like denying slavery.
To deny the existence of an evil is its own form of evil.
Historical memory is an act of reverence, a refusal to forget those who deserve forever to be grieved.

I don’t think we can begin a new chapter in America and initiate a season of repair until we face the fundamental truth that the last 40+ years have been a period of spectacular betrayal of the democratic principles on which we purport to stand.
Covert corporate rule is tyranny.

When Eisenhower led the troops liberating one of the Nazi subcamps & observed the horror, he turned to his team and told them, “Just start taking pictures! Just keep taking pictures - because one day some sons of bitches are going to come around here and say this never happened.”

We subsidize industries that are destroying our lives, told that if we do not do so it could destroy the economy.
The only way to change this is for enough Americans to see through the gaslighting and refuse to any longer accept it.

Yep. GenZ particularly seems to see through the scam.
They don’t deserve to live their lives at the effect of bad ideas left over from the 20th century.
And they know it.

Americans don’t have universal healthcare, free college/tech school or childcare, guaranteed quality public schools, non-toxic water, food or air - not because American doesn’t have the $ but because we choose to spend it feeding the very machine that is slowly destroying us.

Biggest win of the trickle-down 40+yr theft from a majority of Americans so a tiny few could achieve unimaginable wealth, has been convincing millions of people that the use of govt to help them means they’re weak but that giving everything to the richest will somehow help them.

Brittney Griner's wife gave a beautiful statement at the WH today. Profound display of grace.
She made it clear she and Brittney will work tirelessly to help other families too, giving much needed attention to the case of Paul Whelan.

Wonderful that Brittney Griner was freed.
No one should be in jail for weed in the United States either.
Today, Brittney Griner’s wrongful detention in Russia finally ends and she is on her way home to be reunited with her family. Her release is the product of painstaking negotiations and @POTUS’ commitment to bring home every U.S. citizen wrongfully detained anywhere in the world.

This, I repeat, is the best way of life to be found on the road. the world has been taking. This is not a way of life at all, in any true sense. Under the cloud of threatening war, it is humanity hanging from a cross of iron."

It is two fine, fully equipped hospitals. It is some 50 miles of concrete highway. We pay for a single fighter plane with a half million bushels of wheat. We pay for a single destroyer with new homes that could have housed more than 8,000 people. 3/4

It is spending the sweat of its laborers, the genius of its scientists, the hopes of its children. The cost of one modern heavy bomber is this: a modern brick school in more than 30 cities. It is two electric power plants, each serving a town of 60,000 population. 2/4

"Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed. This world in arms is not spending money alone. 1/4

Present evidence!
Notice Hershel Walker conceded graciously and gave an honorable speech when he lost.
