another Nazi salute at CPAC

This would be completely illegal. But you wouldn’t know that from reading this post, the headline, or the lede. Unbelievably bad.

wearing sunglasses inside and following an event where he at times had a hard time speaking coherently, Elon Musk walks off the CPAC stage waving around a chain saw. this is the guy currently running our government. Congrats, America!

🚨NEW: Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth is planning to fire Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff C.Q. Brown, a 4-Star General and 41-year veteran of the Air Force who flew over 130 hours in combat as a fighter pilot. REPOST if you stand with General C.Q. Brown against Hegseth!

REPOST if you support our federal workforce and know how dedicated they are to their jobs. Show them you appreciate them!

A lot of people cannot grasp that their own personal and individual experience of the world is not universal, and they are totally comfortable showing immense cruelty to those whose experiences diverge from their own. This applies to so many issues that affect vulnerable people & it's a real shame!

Owners of news orgs “have an obligation, frankly, to protect the free press.” — Former Washpost cartoonist Ann Telnaes, speaking to @davidfolkenflik.bsky.social [We also learn that the Post lost 300k (!!) subscribers after Bezos killed the Harris endorsement.] www.npr.org/2025/01/04/n...

Ann Telnaes says her Washington Post editor refused to print this cartoon depicting tech billionaires, including Post owner and Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos, paying homage to Trump. The free press is disappearing before our eyes. Brava to Telnaes for resigning in protest. open.substack.com/pub/anntelna...

Bezos has really upped the ante for billionaires debasing themselves to gain favor with Trump.👇 Cartoonist Ann Telnaes quit the Washington Post because it refused to print a cartoon mocking tech and media billionaires for sucking up to Trump. anntelnaes.substack.com/p/why-im-qui...

Washington Post cartoonist Ann Telnaes quit her job Because she refused to obey in advance Pity that Jeff Bezos-owner of the paper Is too busy worrying about making another billion And doesn’t have One Whit Of the courage displayed by Ms Telnaes DON’T BEND THE KNEE

“In addition to Mr. Bezos, the founder of Amazon, the cartoon depicted Meta’s founder, Mark Zuckerberg; Patrick Soon-Shiong, the owner of The Los Angeles Times; and Mickey Mouse, the corporate mascot of the Walt Disney Company.” www.nytimes.com/2025/01/03/b...

This is highly disconcerting. WaPo editors killed an editorial cartoon that mocked Bezos and other tech oligarchs. Will the Post respond to this? Democracy dies with accommodation. anntelnaes.substack.com/p/why-im-qui...

Thank goodness for people like former WAPO cartoonist @anntelnaes.bsky.social, American hero. This may only be the rough of the cartoon she planned to run before she was told she couldn't, but it speaks volumes, perhaps, especially in this form.

Jeff Bezos never wanted this cartoon to become public. He killed it, and as a result, pulitzer prize editorial cartoonist Ann Telnaes quit. Make sure everyone sees this cartoon.

Folks: please be diligent about not disseminating Ann Telnaes' cartoon in a way that she's not getting the clicks on it (until she says differently). Her IP matters now more than ever. Make it go viral but make sure she benefits. anntelnaes.substack.com/p/why-im-qui...

BREAKING: Don Lemon torches Time magazine for picking Donald Trump as their “Person of the Year," says they should have chosen someone who “actually stood for democracy.” “You have someone on the cover of your magazine who is an adjudicated assaulter," he added. Like & share if you fully agree!

I've been hoping for Becca Rothfeld to perform dissection without anesthetic on Jordan Peterson and here it is, a gift link for you. So many good lines. 1/ The gospel according to Jordan Peterson wapo.st/3ZGSfUT
