There's no such thing as an ironic Nazi salute.

UPDATE: Meta is continuing to censor anti-Musk ads. It has removed a Facebook ad calling for a boycott of Tesla, saying that it violates the company's policy on "unacceptable business practices" muskwatch.com/subscribe

Musk & DOGE are now f*cking with the Social Security Administration. šŸšØ IMPORTANT: If you or a loved one experience delayed SS payments or difficulty accessing SSDI services, CALL THE PEOPLEā€™S HOTLINE! Tell your story. ā˜Žļø 503-212-4600 ā˜Žļø Pass it on:

ā€œThat is why Trumpists are so focused on ā€œending DEIā€ in the federal workforce. They see anti-discrimination and inclusion as a ladder of upward mobility for people they do not believe should have one.ā€

Memo to Democrats: If EVERY ONE of you would do what Janet Mills did yesterday EVERY TIME, Trump would unravel entirely. He relies on you being bullied. Refuse to be.

A nice thread:

Several good things are happening according r/fednews so I am going to drop them here. If federal workers are fighting back, how much more us? A thread/

Itā€™s not just Space X. Musk was able to save Tesla because of a loan from the Dept of Energy. Here he is in 2013 filled with gratitude for the federal agency & the taxpayers who saved his business. From reporting by @puck.news. airmail.news/issues/2025-...

Demand your GOP congressman cut their budget and lay off some staff. Congress spends 6.4billion/year on their own operations.

If Americans can't get PhDs in America, then they're just going to go overseas to do soā€¦ and they'll likely stay there, enriching the country that gave them the opportunity. This is a brain drain.

Democrats are fundamentally misunderstanding the moment: We're not asking them to be *legislators* right now. We need them to be *politicians.* There's nothing to be done about the legislative situation. They're right about that. But there's PLENTY to be done as politicians.

I've said often, based on history, that there's no reasonable expectation most people will be courageous in the face of fascism. Bravery is rare. It's valued for a reason: Most people aren't cut out for it, for reasons good and bad. But man, you'd still sorta hope the ABA woulda held the line.

Hello friends. I know times are dark but it is incredibly important not to lose hope. And, this week there are signs of hope and it paramount we recognize that hope, not let up and build. A thread on this if I may. You may appreciate this on a Friday. Come along with me. šŸ§µ (1/10)

Rep Raskin has been great. Rep Ocasio-Cortez has been great. And Rep Frost and Rep Crockett. Senator Murphy. Maybe no one knew exactly what to do. But such people laid down a clear marker. Letā€™s respect these and other elected federal representatives who stood out these first few weeks.

In a small trial, nearly half of pancreatic cancer patients who received an mRNA vaccine had no signs of relapse after three years. Dr. Vinod Balachandran from @mskcancercenter.bsky.social joins us to discuss the results and what they could mean for cancer treatment.

Since Iā€™ve been getting this a lot - if you feel like supporting me by buying a jersey or something, I would rather you make a donation to Trans Lifeline or The Trevor Project www.thetrevorproject.org

Of the Chiefs of Staff, vice chiefs of staff, and judge advocates general of the three branches, Trump fired all the women and Black people.

When Trump names unqualified loyalist Pete Hegseth as defense secretary and purges our top military leaders, it raises rational fears that he wants a military willing to train its guns on American citizens upon his orders.

People experiencing pregnancy loss in states with abortion bans told us they wished they had known what to expect and how to advocate for themselves. We created this guide for anyone who finds themselves in the same position.

What was it that the ABA said about the rule of law the other day?

It's weird how everyone in the world knows a Nazi salute when we see it, with the notable exception of journalists and their editors.

Reagan/Bush Recession Clinton Boom Bush Bust Obama Recovery Trump Slump Biden Boom ā€¦ and now the Trumpcession?

Musk is a real liability for congressional GOP. Make them squirm.

I've been seeing lots of super compelling videos of park rangers and federal lawyers and other federal workers telling their stories. Talking about what they did at their job, how it helped the American people, and why they want to keep doing those jobs. This is the way.

I am so sick of this shit. Itā€™s a Sieg Heil. Itā€™s a Nazi salute. Anyone who sees it knows. Itā€™s ridiculous that legal departments presumably wonā€™t let media call it what it is. Bannon made ā€œa provocative gesture that resembled the salute Elon Musk gave at a post-inauguration rallyā€? Fuck off.

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.

Maddow: All of this absolutely historically unprecedented. No president has ever come out of the gate with numbers like this ever before. And it is across the board

ā€œBut people will eventually accept it, even if itā€™s unpopularā€ is a comment I saw so many times this morning. Thatā€™s what we call a self-fulfilling prophecy. This is your moment. Galvanize and organize people who are unhappy. Donā€™t make them feel helpless to stop it by saying no one will stop it.

trump wants to be able to tell the USPS not to deliver ballots to blue states www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...

Hey congressional Republicans, still waiting for you to announce how much youā€™re cutting from congressā€™ own $6.5 billion budgetā€¦.

This is how Mitch McConnell should be remembered: Without him, thereā€™s no President Trump right nowā€”he had the chance to convict during impeachment and end it, but he didnā€™t. Without him, thereā€™s no stacked conservative Supreme Courtā€”youā€™d have more rights today.
