Why isn't the Democratic party running with a supercut of this called They're Nazis?

I must have talked to half a dozen white political reporters over the years who have said "You're wrong! It's not like that! I have relatives who voted for Trump and..." and then they go blank, like they're buffering or something. It is, every single time, a you're-so-close-to-getting-it moment.

(AP) — Elon Musk’s cost-cutting team is eliminating jobs at the vehicle safety agency that oversees Tesla and has launched investigations into deadly crashes involving his company’s cars. #OligarchEra 🇺🇸 apnews.com/article/musk...

It may not be cool or hip in some circles, but we legitimately do need a massive amount of people to run for office. Flood the school boards, councils, county seats, state legislatures, Congress, etc. Big changes at the top happen when the ground shifts at the bottom. And that can start now.

I was wondering about this, because I'm pretty sure we have avian flu in Canada and the egg prices are mostly normal up here.

More of this. Blunt language is best to describe what's happening. The Trump regime is a transnational crime syndicate and a thuggish white nationalist movement masquerading as a government. Any media outlet omitting that the military purges are fueled by spite and racism is willfully ignoring it.

I’m begging the media to call Nazi salutes … “Nazi salutes.” You can write “he gave a Nazi salute.” That’s the proper journalism. Describe things as they are even if people get mad.

This is the right message. What we're witnessing is a socioeconomic sickness. Megalomania brought on by severe concentration of wealth. It will destroy everything if it's not addressed

“Small acts, when multiplied by millions of people, can transform the world.” –Howard Zinn. I hate seeing my fellow Americans afraid. Remember your birthright my friends. This is our country, our government, the people’s, not theirs. Don’t be afraid. Speak your minds! Don’t ever give up your power.

Democrats should go to all these ruby red and vulnerable GOP districts where voters are upset at Trump and Musk and court them. Full court press.

This is climate arson, yes, but also the entire value proposition of Tesla, the reason for its insane stock price, is that it would end up the Amazon of electric cars: the only real game in town. Killing off non-Tesla electric car infrastructure is a gift to Musk.

another great example along with Wired and Teen Vogue of how real journalism these days can be a lot braver at outlets where no one is trying to get in good with the White House press secretary they’re out here with us, reporting on what’s happening to us all, instead of trying to get inside access

If the media won’t call it a Nazi salute then they’re definitely not going to say that someone was fired because they are Black or a woman. These outlets are complicit.

Soon it will be too late. Congress must act. Republicans deserve relentless protests and demands for their acquiescence to this man solidifying power to overrun our democracy.

AP could have been cowardly and rolled over for Trump. “We had to comply or we’d lose [funding/access/privileges]” like so many orgs are doing. It would have been easy for them to say “gulf of America” But it never stops there. They got the memo. Good job AP.

Yes, it is entirely correct to point out that ICE officers do not have any legal authority to break into somebody’s home unless they get a judicial warrant; which they generally cannot do, because judges only issue warrants for probable cause of crimes, not immigration law violations.

This is what I mean by news outlets willingly letting themselves get language-policed by the far right. You used to be able to just call this a "Nazi salute." Now it's "a provocative gesture that resembled the controversial salute Elon Musk gave at a post-inauguration rally last month."

Yeah the press use of quotation marks around Nazi salute or saying a gesture resembles a Nazi salute is ridiculous. You see a Nazi salute, you call it a Nazi salute. It doesn’t need quotation marks. Or efforts to interpret it. We all know what it means.

This makes me indescribably angry. We, as a country, were paying this guy to be go around being awesome and do awesome stuff. THAT is wealth. But now, instead, we’re going to let more money pile up in Elon’s bank account. Just incredible, cruel stupidity.

Tonight we proposed an amendment to ensure that the Republican budget doesn’t raise prescription drug costs for seniors on Medicare. And guess what? Republicans blocked it — just like they opposed us when we gave Medicare the power to lower drug prices.
