Niemöller was asked by his concentration camp cellmate why he had ever supported Hitler and the Nazis. Reportedly, this is what he had to say for himself:
Screenshot from Niemöller's Wikipedia entry, which reads:

"I find myself wondering about that too. I wonder about it as much as I regret it. Still, it is true that Hitler betrayed me. I had an audience with him, as a representative of the Protestant Church, shortly before he became Chancellor, in 1932. Hitler promised me on his word of honor, to protect the Church, and not to issue any anti-Church laws. He also agreed not to allow pogroms against the Jews, assuring me as follows: "There will be restrictions against the Jews, but there will be no ghettos, no pogroms, in Germany."

I really believed, given the widespread anti-Semitism in Germany, at that time – that Jews should avoid aspiring to Government positions or seats in the Reichstag. There were many Jews, especially among the Zionists, who took a similar stand. Hitler's assurance satisfied me at the time. On the other hand, I hated the growing atheistic movement, which was fostered and promoted by the Social Democrats and the Communists. Their hostility toward the Church made me pin my hopes on Hitler for a while."

Fully realize it's cliche at this point to complain about bad headlines / subheads / etc, but this sort of thing still agitates me www.usatoday.com/story/news/n...
Excerpt from a USA Today column. Heading reads: "Tim Walz thanks Homan for ending the Minnesota operation". Body reads: "'Thank you, Minnesota,' Gov. Tim Walz said in a short post on X."

The subhead text "thanks Homan" is highlighted in red.Screenshot of a post from Tim Walz on X. Text reads "Thank you, Minnesota"

He literally says in this clip that ICE will keep in Minnesota “quick reaction forces” — a military term — to go after “agitators.” Remember that those on the ground in MPLS have spent more than a week trying to tell everyone that Trump’s prior “deescalation” was a ruse and ICE is still operational

Inflation just rose again for the fifth month in a row, a trend that began with Trump's crazy tariffs. CPI rose to 3% annualized, its highest level since January. Grocery prices rose at a 4% annualized rate. Trump's trade wars are hurting the American people.

This is far from the most important thing happening in terms of governance -- it's not even close. But campaign politics requires messaging that cuts through to people with symbolism and this one is a gift. And to defeat authoritarianism before it's too late, you have to win elections.

There is no “invasion from within” just like there is no “Tren de Aragua” invasion from Venezuela. You can’t make things up, then use them as an excuse for going to war or disappearing innocent people into foreign prisons.

, 5h ago) quoting Trump speaking to generals: "America is under invasion from within. We're under invasion from within. No different than a foreign enemy, but more difficult in any ways because they don't wear uniforms. At least when they're wearing a uniform you can take them out." The post includes an image of a man in a suit speaking at a podium with the presidential seal, set against a backdrop of the American flag.

It's worth noting that the Republicans control all three branches of government and the Dems literally couldn't pass a CR on their own. So anyone who writes anything about Dems being responsible is not only lying, they're doing it in service to this administration.

An EO doesn’t commit the US to do anything. It’s freely cancelable by this president or any successor of his and until then only binds his subordinates. The constitution has a treaty ratification process for making binding national commitments—though ofc this president doesn’t respect those either.
