I remember as a child looking across the Berlin Wall into East Berlin. I remember seeing the watch towers and my parents telling me what East Germans risked to escape to the West. And I remember so many East Germans moving west and arriving in our town after the wall came down. It was intense.
87 years ago today, the Kristallnacht burned. 36 years ago today, the Berlin Wall fell.
Whether from the darkness of 9.11.1938 or light of 9.11.1989, the lesson for 🇩🇪 in 2025 is clear: Fight for freedom. Stop fascists. #StandWithUkraine. Their fight for freedom & peace is ours.

Doctor here. Co-sign. Ripping folks off their healthcare is egregious, immoral, and cruel. It's also financially ruinous to those who get sick when they don't have insurance.
People don't stop getting sick when they lose insurance, but they may start rationing meds or skipping doctors' appointments.
And when people delay regular treatment, emergency rooms end up crowded & overwhelmed.
We have to make sure health care remains accessible to everyone.
