At the US Holocaust Museum today, in the context of Iowa stripping civil rights from trans ppl and Trump’s gutting of the civil service, I read about stripping civil rights as the 1st step toward fascism and gutting the civil service as the 2nd. #EverythingHasAHistory and we’ve chosen to forget it.
