Lately, I’ve been dealing with a lot of jibber-jabber from the people in my neighborhood. It’s been bad. I woke up today with a panic attack, it’s gotten so bad.

So, let’s talk about it what’s been giving me a panic attack: the ICE raids and how they are remarkably similar to what happened during the Third Reich. The news headlines scare me; I’m not afraid to admit that.

The start of Hitler’s regime wasn’t just gas chambers. It was deportation. Gas chambers came into play when they realized deportation was not going to happen.

I see a very strong correlation between the rise of Hitler and the rise of Trump. And it’s damn near impossible to ignore, especially after Musk’s Roman salute at the inauguration.

Back in Nuremberg during the mid-1940s, Allied military members had to figure out what to do with the war crimes committed by the Axis. Part of them just wanted to know why they did it while others just wanted to know how.

One man, in particular, was elected to give top-ranking Nazis a questionnaire. Here’s what he found out about the biggest monsters in history and why it’s important now.
