It’s important to reflect on where we started and where we are.
We started with Trump entering politics pushing Birtherism, the racist lie that Obama wasn’t a legitimate president.
When he ran in 2016, he ran on a platform of “locking up” his opponent… 1/ 🧵
Ein Volk, Ein Reich, Ein Führer! Sent by God.

The Germans murdered some 1,1 million out of 1,3 million people deported to Auschwitz. 90 percent of victims were Jews.
Dr. Piotr Setkiewicz, the head of the Museum Research Centre, talks about the history of research on the number of victims.

Say his name out loud, it's important, what if the time you say his name, is the last time it is spoken out loud? As long as their names are said, they will never truly die.
6 August 1936 | A French Jewish boy, Marcel Tobiasz, was born in Paris.
In 1942 he was deported to #Auschwitz and murdered in a gas chamber.

GROOMER ALERT: Sorry you're too dumb to get that LGBT activists were trying to trigger you when yelling they're "coming for your children," @LaurenBoebert.
It worked.
They know you're not brave enough to call out real groomers: YOUR FAMILY.
For instance: LEWD EXPOSURE. Your husband, Jayson Boebert, pled guilty to exposing himself to two young women at a Colorado bowling alley.
Remember? You should, because you were kicked out with him. Maybe your role was excusable – you were only 17.
That's right – A MINOR. Jayson, 24 years old, was grooming you.
TEEN PREGNANCY
You had to drop out of high school when Jayson got you pregnant, and made you a teen mom.
That child grew up to do what with his life? Get his teen girlfriend pregnant – a MINOR.
How's that bible thumping working out for your family values, Bo Bae?
CHURCH ABUSERS
I know you hate facts, so you'll REALLY hate this one: most child ab*se comes from people who know the kid. Like church members.
One instance out of thousands: Christian Missionary Jordan Webb was just convicted for giving gonorrhea to a preschooler.
If you really hate groomers, why aren't you introducing bills to take away the tax exempt status from churches that harbor child m*lesters?
Maybe it's because you're too busy grooming kids into becoming:
CHILD SHOOTERS
When kids in your state are maimed and killed from mass shootings from assault rifles, what do you do?
You BRAG that you're teaching your kids to treat guns like Christmas toys. You make them pose with guns, with an evil grin on your face.
Groomer.
GOOD NEWS
Luckily, most Americans are not evil groomers like your family, Lauren Boebert.
Neither are your voters. That's why you only won by 546 votes in your last election, in a red district.
And that's why – if we get the spread the word about your groomer family – you will soon be back where you belong: out of power.

Roddie Edmonds was a Master Sergeant in the United States Army. In late 1944, Edmonds was captured in the Battle of the Bulge and held at a German POW camp. In January 1945, the Nazis ordered all Jewish-American POWs to step forward. Edmonds, the highest-ranking noncommissioned officer at the camp, ordered all 1,000 US soldiers to step forward, regardless of their religion.
A German commander demanded that Edmonds identify the Jewish soldiers. Edmonds replied, "We are all Jews here." The commander threatened to shoot him if he did not comply. Edmonds refused, saying, "If you shoot, you'll have to shoot us all." The commander backed down.
Edmonds' actions are credited with saving the lives of 200 Jewish soldiers. In 2015, he was posthumously named Righteous Among the Nations by Yad Vashem and was the first American soldier to receive the honor.
Edmonds' story is a reminder of the courage and compassion of those who stood up to the Nazis during World War II. He is a true hero, and his legacy will never be forgotten.

A heart-breaking moment saved in an SS picture of deportations of Hungarian Jews at Auschwitz II-Birkenau. It was taken 79 years ago, most likely in late May 1944.
A little child found a dandelion in the grass and is handing it or showing it to an older boy. All the people in this picture were waiting to be killed in gas chamber. They were murdered some time later.
Please RT this unique document.

German pastor Dietrich Bonhoeffer was an early critic of the Nazi regime. He was arrested for resistance activities in 1943 and later sent to a concentration camp because of his ties to Operation Valkyrie, a plot to kill Hitler. #OTD in 1945 his opposition cost him his life.

Justin Jones DESTROYS “admitted child molester, “domestic abuser” and other Republicans who WEREN’T expelled from the Tennessee House:
“Let’s talk about expulsion.
For years, one of your colleagues who was admitted child molester sat in this chamber. No expulsion.
One member sits in this chamber was found guilty of domestic violence. No expulsion.
We had a former speaker sits in this chamber who is now under federal investigation. No expulsion.
We have a member still under federal investigation. No expulsion.
We had a member pee in another member’s chair in this chamber. No expulsion.
In fact, they’re in leadership … in the governor’s administration.
And so, once again, what you’re saying to us that you’re trying to put us on trial, I’ll say what you’re really putting on trial is the state of Tennessee. What you’re really showing for the world is holding up a mirror to a state that is going back to some dark, dark roots.
A state in which the Ku Klux Klan was founded is now attempting another power grab by silencing the two youngest Black representatives…that’s what this is about.”

I swear by my #HearingAids TV connectors (1 on TV, 1 on PC) but added cost a burden for some. Soon Bluetooth LE Audio will be std for universal access. In meantime, kudos to @amazonfiretv for improving QoL for many w/ #HearingLoss by using Google's ASHA protocol.

“He didn’t watch TV because he’d miss “40–50% of the words due to echoing and poor sound quality.” Using his implant with Fire TV has been game-changing for him in terms of quality of life improvement.”
