Bill Clinton banned assault weapons in 1994; mass shootings dropped by 43%.

George W. Bush and the GOP let the assault weapons ban expire in 2004; mass shootings increased by 245%.

These numbers tell the whole story.

1923: Hitler’s failed coup.

No real consequences.
No fundamental changes.

1933: Hitler takes power.

I wish I could implant this into everyone’s brain.

Have you ever wondered why Germans didn’t do anything about Hitler? Well, the rest of the world is wondering exactly that about Americans and Trump.

The fact that far too many people cannot recognize fascism unless it looks exactly like Nazi Germany is very dangerous.

Remember, the Holocaust didn’t start with gas chambers.

It started with politicians dividing the people with “us vs. them”.

It started with intolerance and hate speech.

It started when people stopped caring, became desensitized, and turned a blind eye.

Remember.

Hitler didn’t operate the gas chambers himself. But he was responsible.

Bin Laden didn’t fly the planes himself. But he was responsible.

Putin didn’t kill Navalny himself. But he was responsible.

Trump didn’t storm the Capitol himself. But he was responsible.

Justice matters.

BREAKING: Hunter Biden gained 41 trademarks in China, made $640 million while “working” in daddy’s administration, and received $2 billion from the people behind 9/11.

Now that I got Republicans’ attention. That was actually Jared Kushner and Ivanka Trump.

There is not a single man alive who has done more harm on a global level, over a longer period of time and across more issues (Iraq, climate, Covid, white supremacy, authoritarianism) than Rupert Murdoch. You can’t change my mind.

I need someone to explain to me why it’s always “if you can’t pay rent, buy fewer lattes and avocado toasts” and not “if you can’t pay your employees a living wage, buy fewer yachts and real estate”.

Explain it to me like I’m in kindergarten.

Back before the Internet, we thought the reason for human stupidity was the lack of information options.

I’ll put it this way: That wasn’t it.

Trump stole documents on confidential informants in January 2021 and 9 months later CIA Counterintelligence sent a top secret cable warning an unusually high number of confidential informants had been killed, captured, or compromised. I feel like more people should mention that.
