1/ A tailor. A teacher. A cop. These were Hitler's Nazis. Not monsters. Regular people waiting for the 'big moment' to push back.That moment never came. Mayer's 1955 study of Germany reads like America's breaking news.We can't ignore the lessons of 1930's #DV1 #ProudBlue #Voices4Victory #USDemocracy

“With all newspapers in Germany being told what to publish and how to write the news and editorials, it was inevitable that a deadly conformity would come over the nation’s press.” - William Shirer, The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich, p. 406

Donald Trump is now just openly bragging about interfering in the media. He's the president. He's running a truck over the first amendment here.

1/ How many Americans even know what the real "storm troopers," the Sturmabteilung, as opposed to the other jackbooted scum, were anymore? Because that's who these fucks are: party troops, radicalized thugs and opportunistic bullies. Not "law enforcement." Their very purpose is to act unlawfully.

You gotta just block these accounts without interacting. They're doing this the night before No Kings so they can selectively grab quote posts and replies about how nasty people are being. It's extremely transparent. Just block and move on.

i’m not exactly a connoisseur when it comes to film and literature, but it still blows my mind that these guys all conceive of art as just an updated set of jingling keys dangling in front of their moron faces

Removing the block function from Twitter takes the conservative vision of free speech full circle from "I have a right to say it" to "no one should criticize what I say" to "you should be forced to hear me say it"

You are up to date.
