"...Long before Jews, Roma, gays, Communists and others could be herded into death camps, they had to be “denationalized” — excluded from the society that guaranteed their legal rights."

Savannahians: RESISTANCE MARCH tomorrow (Sat., Feb. 8), 3 pm, Forsyth Fountain to Bay St.
Let's turn out in sufficient numbers to show up as a formidable force.
It's been advertised as a 14th Amendment rally, but that is way too limited. There are plenty of Amendments under attack!

Elon Musk spent over $280 million to elect Trump and his GOP allies. Now Musk is collecting on that investment—grabbing control of the system that gets your grandpa his Social Security check, pays your mom’s doctor through Medicare, and keeps your kid’s Head Start center open.

Al Gore pitched a sovereign wealth fund once, but he called it a “lockbox.”
And it existed bc they’d taxed the wealthy a tiny bit, balanced the budget and had a surplus.
And he only wanted the fund to protect Social Security for Americans who weren’t millionaires.
So the GOP mocked it.
