100 percent, which leads us to the question of why the visual doesn’t trigger that kind of self-reflection. A couple of possibilities: 1) She, and the audience this is for, has so dehumanized the people behind her that she can’t see it; 2) She, and her audience, don’t think the Nazis were wrong.
it's honestly shocking to me how holocaust forward the visuals are here. how does this not trigger some level of immediate self reflection by the creator. just baffling.

I highly recommend the app 5 Calls for something like this. It makes the process SUPER easy.
KEEP CALLING. PEEL OFF ALL DEM SENATORS YOU CAN.
☎️: (202) 224-3121
Tell them to vote NO on Cloture and NO on CR. Vote is pushed to after 1:15ish for now. Situation is fluid.
The only public YES votes are Schumer and Fetterman. They need 7-8 total. KEEP CALLING.
Call retiring Senators too!

This is Marco Rubio explaining how the USA promised to defend Ukraine forever if they got rid of their nuclear arsenal left after the Soviet Union fell.
This is why lil marco was sinking into the couch. He was hoping we wouldn’t find it…so don’t RT right now this very second.

If you spend exactly zero seconds thinking about how this would be unfair to you, we should be friends.
It’s funny how the ones who complain the loudest never had a barrier in their way to begin with.

Is anyone doing anything with YouTube Shorts? I’ve always seen them as a TikTok ripoff, but now it Kind of seems like it could be a perfectly fine replacement for TikTok with a few UI/UX tweaks, right?

This is the correct take.
Star Wars: The Force Awakens: "Remember the things you liked about Star Wars, here are some of them."
Star Wars: The Last Jedi: "Hey here are some things you haven't seen a Star Wars movie do."
Star Wars: The Rise Of Skywalker "Remember the things you hated about Star Wars, here are all of them."
