During Russia’s "Victory Day" parade, a banner appeared on the wall of the museum in Narva, Estonia—facing directly toward Russia and a stage across the border which was broadcasting the parade in Moscow.

If we ever get out of this nightmare we'll know because being an ICE officer or in ICE leadership will be just as de facto prosecutable as having served in the SS, and their prosecution will seem in retrospect just as necessary, and for many of the same reasons.

The number of confirmed #measles cases in the US this year — an unknown fraction of the true total — has hit 800, per #CDC, making this the 2nd worst year for measles since the virus was eliminated in 2000. And the year is young.
The count in Texas is just under 600. https://www.cdc.gov/measles/data-research/index.html
