here’s my take as a linguist specializing in interpreting indirect language use: nazi symbols and gestures are a declaration of intent to commit violence and can therefore reasonably be responded to with the actions appropriate to one’s bodily safety being threatened.

Once again, it is so disheartening to see the all post-WWII measures to create peace and stability being blown up as soon as the generation who put them in place is gone

🧵I'm listening to a book by someone whose work I respect & as sometimes happens, was hit by ignorant & frankly antisemitic language around Jewish scripture & "the Old Testament God" that, whenever I hear it, I feel like my head's going to blow off. So. A thread! Fun!

There are genuine questions about who is carrying out all these sweeping illegal actions within the federal government. It's not Trump (golfing continuously) or Musk (posting continuously). So it's a bunch of 20-something cybercriminals?
