I am going to "live tweet" the year 1933, the year Hitler took office.

I will begin on Jan 30th, with his swearing in.

The goal of this project is so people can see how Germany went from a democracy to dictatorship in just
6 months.

Please tell your friends:

The Indianapolis Times: A Berlin friend of mine last Jan. 30 pushed his way through the crowds which for weeks had been standing outside the Hotel Kaiserhof—crowds of Hitler devotees thirsting for one moment's look at their idol as he might come and go at his headquarters in the hotel.

"Wie gets der Shope Adolf today?” he asked one of the tiny red coated. brass-buttoned bellboys who swarm in the lobby.

It was the common term. "Shone Adolf.” and the boys had bandied it about as freely as any other current slang.

"Ach der Reiehskanzler!” gasped the youngster in awe.

That was the day on which Hitler assumed office.

Only an hour before this he had moved diagonally across the Wilhemplatz from the hotel into the chancellery, and exactly then "Schone Adolf” ceased to be.

It is unheard today, even from opponents in their private homes. Instead, there is heard "the Reichkanzler,” "the Leader.” "Herr Hitler” and the “New Regime.” Men have been beaten since Jan 30 for saying "Shone Adolf.”

All Germans, anti as well as pro, take
him seriously.

Fiona Apple has a story for you. And it’s incredible. Asked me to share.

She's become an avid, trained Court Watcher. Her observations helped people jailed pretrial file a civil rights lawsuit. Then came the retaliation. Shut off her access to court.

I don’t tweet much, but this. So much this. Do think the next gen of Dems are going to take less sh$t though.

How do policies of the past shape the present? Historians and local experts document large inequities in Northern Virginia, where residents—disproportionately people of color—face harsh living conditions.
