„I created a list of 19 ways that the Nazis pushed Jews out of society between 1933 and 1939, paving the way for the “Final Solution.” They banned Jewish people from schools and universities, from the civil service, and from the media. They made it illegal for them to participate in sports, kicked them out of the military, and denied them state funded health care.“

„By my count, Republicans today are attempting to achieve all 19 but attacking trans people instead.“
