That’s some scary talk in that article.
The goal—you guys remember George Floyd, the goal is to have Drag Floyd. And I’m serious, this is deadly serious.
I’m pretty sure the goal of the people and performers who attend the shows I go to every week is to just have fun and unfortunately, thanks to a-holes like these, not get killed. Those f-ers think everything is a damn plot.

I’ll look forward to watching his replacement, and hope he’ll fade out of the spotlight without whining about the consequences of his behavior/attitude.

She’s getting a quick start on making Cuomo look like less of an asshole in contrast. He’s still an asshole, though.

He’s a very high asshole bar. I don’t think she’ll pass it - though she’s trying hard.

“Remember who they were killing first,” Goldberg said. “They were not killing racial; they were killing physical. They were killing people they considered to be mentally defective. And then they made this decision. It doesn’t change the fact that you could not tell a Jew on a street. You could find me. You couldn’t find them. That was the point I was making.”

I could be wrong- but didn’t they attack queer people first?
At the Hirschfeld Institute.

I’m trying to remember the order of things during that time… I know that they went after Hirschfeld’s institution pretty early on, before Kristalnacht. I think maybe that was well before the vans for eliminating the disabled as well… Since the goal was the “cleansing” of the German body politic, all (including Afro-Germans) were in the line of fire, but all for different reasons, all stemming from their interpretation of eugenics…
Of course, some make the argument that socialists/communists/labor parties were first, since they pinned the blame on the reichstag fire on those political parties and rounded them up almost immediately.
But, the thing that really matters that someone like Goldberg is forgetting, is that all of these are tightly interconnected, because it all comes back to the same ideology of purity and cleansing around the dubious notion of race. Even sexuality/gender identity go back to that eventually, because homosexuality is seen as a threat to reproduction of the “master race”… A gay man is not contributing to the building of “the race” nor is a trans person.

The other piece - which one of the Dr’s on staff said in his memoir- was to destroy the records of high ranking Nazi Party members who were patients there.
Fixed that. Eggnoging!

All that, and gay men were considered too effeminate to be able to fight effectively for the Fatherland.

One side, expelling migrants on a freezing Christmas Eve. “No room at the inn,” indeed. The other, welcoming them and providing shelter. I know which side I’d prefer to be aligned with.

I know which side is much more prideful in claiming what good Christians they are.
