  • #Repost @hillaryclinton (@get_repost) ・・・ On February 18, 1943, Sophie Scholl, her brother Hans, and their friend Christoph were arrested for distributing anti-Nazi literature at their university in Munich. It was the early days of opposition to Hitler within Germany. At the Scholls' show trial, the judge didn't give the defendants a chance to speak. So Sophie yelled. ⁣ ⁣ “Somebody had to make a start,” she shouted. “What we wrote and said is also believed by many others. They just don’t dare express themselves as we did.” ⁣ ⁣ She and her brother were executed a few days later. Their words lived on. A copy of their final leaflet was smuggled out of the country and reprinted in the UK as "The Manifesto of the Students of Munich." A few months after the Scholl siblings died, Allied planes dropped millions of copies over Germany. ⁣ ⁣ Today, Sophie is known within Germany as a hero who stood up for what was right with unflinching bravery. She should be better known outside of it, too.

honestly I just want a presidential candidate who is kind-hearted and polite and eats marmalade sandwiches for elevensies and accidentally floods the White House bathroom and puts on an elaborate musical after being wrongfully thrown in prison.
