1/ Hitler didn't start by killing and gassing people.
He started by criminalizing them, blaming society's problems on their existence, and declaring them "illegal." Then deporting them became normalized. Are parallels starting to dawn on you yet?
She sees it. 👇🏽👇🏽👇🏽👇🏽

2/ In the 30s and 40s Hitler's propaganda chief Joseph Goebbels developed videos to portray the Jews as inferior and evil people - as part of his plan to later on justify their extermination (the Holocaust). 🔥
This is the most recent Trump ad:
3/ If you think this is acceptable because they're all just "illegals" then you have another "think" coming.
NOW the Dept of Justice is "De-naturalizing" legally-naturalized citizens and DECLARING them illegal so they can deport them. 🚨
5/end
If you don't believe this could happen in America, watch this 17-min film made postwar by the U.S. military in 1947.
THEY were convinced it could happen again...even here.
* We are seeing the beginnings now.
* We all need to be activists. #WeAreOne
Tomorrow is Holocaust Memorial Day.
We must never let this happen again. #HolocaustMemorialDay
Remember:
It started out with small, seemingly unconnected things. Things people didn't notice so much. Then it escalated...while "good" people watched, afraid to do or say anything.
When they finally realized what was going on, it was already too late. #HolocaustMemorialDay

Erik Paulsen is known for his "pop-up" sessions.
He suddenly pops up unannounced (or announced online mere minutes before it happens) in grocery store aisle for 10 minutes to talk to people. That's NOT accessible.
➡️That's another way of hiding from constituents. #PaulsenFail
Erik Paulsen's well-known for not holding town halls.
He hasn't really held town hall in over 7 years...ones he claims to have held recently were limited to hand-picked people, in hand-picked locations, and hand-picked questions.
Erik Paulsen's also well-known for his "empty seat" town halls.
You know, the kind of town halls that his constituents set up and try to get him to come to since he refused to hold any on his own.
Zephyr Teachout is a well-known political activist. She's also Associate Professor of Law at Fordham University and has worked tirelessly against corruption and social injustice.
She is a specialist in antitrust law and corruption, and is the best choice for NY Attorney General.
Zephyr's pretty amazing...I've been watching her for several years.
* Ran against Andrew Cuomo for Gov/got ~35% of vote, pushed him to left.
* Tireless to root out corruption & 1 of first to support "little people." #Zephyr4NY Zephyrforny.com huffingtonpost.com/jedediah-purdy…
"Ms. Teachout is, in effect, the godmother of the current moment — the first of the spate of female candidates, campaigning around the country now, to emerge from anonymity and reveal the depths of dissatisfaction with establishment politics." #Zephyr4NY
Guess those talks didn't go as well as they thought:
North Korea accuses U.S. of making unilateral demands for denuclearization. 1/ #NorthKorea cbsnews.com/news/north-kor…
Guess this tweet was a "teeny" bit premature.
Trump gave NK everything they wanted and left with absolutely NOTHING. 2/ #AnotherTrumpFailure
Kim is playing game at a whole different level than Trump is and already got what he wanted...a photo with American president to legitimize his leadership. 3/ #TrumpFail businessinsider.com/trump-meets-ki…
Since Trump supporters don't care about immigrant children:
Republican donors/rich Trump supporters are raking in millions, eventually billions, of OUR tax money...but Trump administration could go back to Obama policy and pay less than $40/day per immigrant. #ItsAllAboutProfit
More questions:
Where are the babies, the toddlers and the little girls?
Are those babies the ones that were sent to the adoption agencies?
Why isn't the Trump administration even TRYING to reunite these families?
Is there more profit in detaining them or adopting them out?
Under Trump/GOP, US becoming more & more destitute:
US has highest child mortality rate of 20 rich countries
US among highest child poverty rates in the developed world, at 21%
US also high obesity rates, income inequality and incarceration rates
