“Trump is a highly skilled narrator and propagandist,” said Ruth Ben-Ghiat, a historian at New York University who specializes in fascism and authoritarianism. “Actually he is one of the most skilled propagandists in history.” www.nytimes.com/2025/02/23/u...

Good morning and Happy Friday to everyone who agrees that if you want people to stop calling your party a bunch of Nazis, then your party leaders should stop doing Nazi things like the Sieg Heil. Did you notsee this coming?

In future generations, when your children and grandchildren look back on this moment, they are not going to ask about the price of eggs. They are going to ask you what you did. Not what you felt. Not what you paid. But what you did. And I want to be able to say I did everything I possibly could.

I was at a punk show in 83 where a skinhead jumped up on stage and gave a Nazi salute. The bass player hit him with his bass, knocking him into the crowd and 150 people collectively hauled his ass out of the venue and threw him in the mud. This was the right and only appropriate response.

Nazi salutes are having a moment. Our critic weighs in. Steve Bannon’s offered precise form worthy of 1930s Germany, but Elon Musk’s honored the drug-fueled mania of the original Nazis.

ICYMI: Yesterday Steve Bannon did the Nazi salute at CPAC. Elon Musk came on stage with a chainsaw. Stickers saying Trump 2028 were circulated.

Enough with the rationalizations and excuses: the Nazi salute is not a troll, and it is not an accident. The neo-Nazi movement is alive and well, and some of the most powerful people in our country have now actively embraced it.

Pretty much every story about Trump seems to take this form. In the headline, describe Trump's threats or actions with vigorous-sounding language ("take control," "fire"), and then at the end of the sub hed conclude with the most muted possible way of mentioning its illegality ("Experts call").

I feel so sick. Enough with the lies, enough with the games. They know exactly what they're doing. This is a neo-Nazi movement. Proudly so. The only reason they've kept it coded up until now was to take advantage of those who didn't want to believe it. No more looking away. Face up to what it is.

One reason we yell at Democratic electeds is because a lot of us live in blue states and THEY'RE OUR REPS. So of course we yell at them when they do a bad job; that's what we do in a democracy! If we had R reps, we'd yell at them, but we've got these Ds, and a lot of them are blowing it.

Today, the three major oligarchs, Musk, Jeff Bezos and Mark Zuckerberg, are worth $905bn – that is more wealth than the bottom half of American society – 170 million people. And, incredibly, since Trump’s election their wealth has grown by $217b.

NJ Bill A4601 would expand abortion access in NJ by making it more affordable and safer. In June 2024, it passed the State Senate and has been sitting on the Assembly side ever since (over 8 months!) Call these people to support: - Asm Coughlin: 732-855-7441 - Asm Freiman: 908-829-4191 - Your Rep!

Everyone who showed up at a protest on Monday should pat themselves on their back, as should everyone who wrote a postcard, posted truthful content on social media, wrote a letter to the editor, or encouraged a fellow activist. We are truly in this fight together (Robert Hubbell, Feb. 18).
