Trumps election brings back old horrors for holocaust survivors/https://www.haaretz.com/whdcMobileSite/world-news/.premium-trump-triggers-old-nightmares-for-holocaust-survivors-1.5462795 …
Please @AOC do us all a favor and spend just a few minutes learning some actual history. 6 million Jews were exterminated in the Holocaust. You demean their memory and disgrace yourself with comments like this.https://twitter.com/RealSaavedra/status/1140846386042171392 …

People don't know the history behind how The Holocaust began. Survivor Irene Weiss spoke about this in 2017. She said, "“I’m scared. I don’t like the trend. I don’t like how many people are applauding when they hear these demagogues. It can turn.”https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/in-the-age-of-trump-grim-warnings-from-holocaust-survivors/2016/01/27/c65ea38c-c549-11e5-8965-0607e0e265ce_story.html?utm_term=.d04066f8154f …

#WarProfiteering101 Two years after Liz’s dad was Secretary of Defense, Dick stepped thru the revolving door, earning $44M as Halliburton’s CEO (principal beneficiary of military privatization efforts). Cheney then slid back thru the revolving door to become Vice President. 1/2pic.twitter.com/VoXphQF7J1

Halliburton operates oil field services in 70+ countries. Thanks to VP Cheney & offshore subsidiaries in Caribbean tax havens, its tax bill went from $302M in 1998 to ZERO in 1999 plus an $85M IRS REFUND. Cheney may have netted $100M. Nobody knows. https://www.globalresearch.ca/dick-cheney-war-profiteer/1292 … 2/2

the Holocaust didn't begin with death camps, it began with anti-semitic rhetoric, the shuttering of businesses and synagogues and the incitement of mob violence. most people in most countries denied what was happening even as the death camps did their awful work.

Our schools need to do a better job of teaching about this terrible time in history. Widespread ignorance and neo-Nazi propaganda is the reason why so many people don't know how it happened. That's also why it's starting again.

You monumental dope, concentration camps and death camps were two different things. What you support are concentration camps at the border, whether you like it or not.

The GOP hasn’t cared about facts since Bush Sr. “They make their own reality” and all of us “will be left to study what they do” to paraphrase Bush Jrs Advisor. A pox on all their houses.
