From the US Holocaust Museum's website: "Individuals of African descent living in Germany were socially and economically ostracized. They could not attend university, they lost their jobs, they sometimes lost their citizenship. Mixed-race marriages were forbidden, and
Doctors illegally and secretly sterilized between 385 and 500 biracial children... Black people were also imprisoned or sent To internment or concentration camps. There, they were often treated more harshly and subjected to medical experiments or extreme brutality.
The SS and Gestapo commonly mistreated Black prisoners of war, working them to death in concentration camps or killing them immediately rather than imprisoning them." #Holocaust#KanyeWest#EspeciallyHitler

As you may recall, this murderous attack happened weeks before the election, during a time when Fox News & MAGA politicians were stoking fear of caravans of migrants.
Hateful, anti-Semitic rhetoric and conspiracies led to deadly violence in Pittsburgh.
NEW: The Washington Post reports that the large Ukrainian-American community in OH, traditionally Republican-leaning voters, are backing Tim Ryan for Senate due to JD Vance’s pro-Putin stances. #RepublicansForTimRyan#OHSen
“ Irena Stolar has voted Republican for over half a century, from Richard M. Nixon to Donald Trump. But in the midterms, Stolar, 73, said she will cast her first vote for a Democrat. Originally from Ukraine, Stolar refuses to support J.D. Vance..”
“Anna Barrett, president of the credit union, said she will vote for a Democratic candidate for the first time in her life. “I certainly could not support Mr. Vance based on what he has said,” she said. Like others, Barrett has been working around-the-clock to fundraise...”
If Donald Trump decides to ditch Kevin McCarty and supports Jim Jordan for Speaker, all he needs is 10-20 MAGA members of Congress to block McCarthy from becoming speaker. It's definitely a real possibility.
