Instead of changing their policies to have wider appeal, Republicans have resorted to voter suppression and attempting to whitewash our history in order to further turn the truth into a matter of opinion.

Turning truth into a matter of opinion is how you kill democracy.

They think acknowledging the darkness of our union's past and present makes our country weaker.
They are wrong.

Lying to ourselves and especially our children about our past is exactly how you make our country weaker.

We must acknowledge our past of intolerance and genocide if we ever want to progress and create a more perfect union.

Who we have been is not who we have to be but in order to do that we must confront our past, no matter how uncomfortable it makes the fragile men in power.

Our grandparents didn’t serve in World War II just for these fuckers to march on our streets

This video is not from 1930s Germany this is from Orlando Florida 2022 anti-semitism is alive and well.

We need leaders to fight against hate, not for it.

Also keep in mind they’re not just anti Semitic, they’re also homophobic and they are eugenicists who believe in the annihilation of anyone with physical disabilities or mental disabilities- including learning disabilities.

@AuschwitzMuseum

Please follow @AuschwitzMuseum it’s important to be reminded of the horrors such hate can bring and why we have to do everything in our power to stop it.

99% of politicians of either party do not care about gun violence. The Biden admin has failed to appoint an ATF director, a national director of gun violence prevention (which wouldn't require sen conf) and the billions allocated to violence intervention won't happen if BBB fails

The only way this changes is when we electorally force candidates to give a fuck and do something about kids dying in their schools and communities on a daily basis. Through our vote and turning out in primaries.

Biden is objectively doing better on guns than Trump obviously. But that is an extremely low bar. If we want to end gun violence in our lifetimes were going to have to get a lot angrier, demanding, and give politicians basically no choice politically to act on gun violence.
