Voters are still outraged that the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade and the federal right to abortion. If the Trump administration tries to impose a backdoor nationwide abortion ban on top of that, whether now or later, voters will remember. We’ll make sure of it.

The Nazis' First Victims Were the DisabledThe Nazi Persecution of “Asocials”

The Nazi German regime persecuted certain Germans whom they viewed as social outsiders. This included marginalized and impoverished people, especially those who lacked permanent addresses and stable jobs. The Nazis derogatorily referred to these people as “asocials.” The Nazi German regime forcibly sterilized and wrongfully imprisoned tens of thousands of people as asocials.
