Jonathan Greenblatt’s decision to defend an antisemitic conspiracy theory spreader doing a Nazi salute - in essence sacrificing the ADL’s reputation on the altar of Netanyahu’s career - has done horrible damage to the ADL.

This is a masterpiece with so many layers. 1. Complete lack of responsibility, obviously. 2. STILL somehow manages to sanewash blatant racism as "issues raised" 3. Pivots immediately to, "but what does this mean for Farage?" lobby horserace bullshit.

One united front against all forms of discrimination, oppression, and violence. ✊🏽✊🏼✊🏾✊🏿✊🏻 We will not back down. Not a snowball's chance in hell.

This is quite clearly a deliberate imitation of musk’s Nazi salute.

If any of our former NATO or Five Eyes allies have intelligence data and assessments, which surely they must, about the background of the leader of their new strategic adversary, the United States, now is as good a time as any to release them, subject to protection of methods and sources, of course.

#OnThisDay, 22 Feb 1943, Sophie Scholl is sentenced to death and immediately executed, alongside her brother and a friend, for distributing anti-Nazi literature at her university in Munich, Germany. #WomenInHistory #OTD #History #WomensHistory #WorldWar2 #EuropeanHistory 🗃️ 1/2

This is related to something I’ve posted about for quite a while: the difference between a patriot and a nationalist in a sovereign country is that a patriot loves their country but a nationalist DETESTS it. Nationalists are obsessed with how their country *as it actually is* repulses them.

Generals: Please keep funding aid, it's vital to national security. Spooks: Please keep funding aid, it's vital to national security. Some Lib-Dem who got made "Minister of State for Europe and the Americas" for 18 months 13 years ago: "I HAZ A THOUGHT!"

WYOMING: “Thank you, Madam chairman.” “I prefer ‘Mister’ chairman.” “Well you all voted preferred pronouns cannot be compelled speech.”

GOP members of congress can choose between making Musk spend billions to primary them all, or being primaried anyway when they get blamed for what Musk is doing.

2076: the Prime Ministers of the United States and Canada hold a joint 50th anniversary celebration of the end of the War of Liberation.

Any countries building Starlink into their telecom systems should be thinking twice right now.

So I think by August this year there will be serious steps taken to remove Trump from office. I don’t know why. It just seems so much is being pulled apart that something will break. For example, whatever threats he’s been making against GOP members of congress will seem less and less prohibitive.

Usually when states go to court alleging federal coercion in violation of the 10th Amendment there is not a literal video of the President doing it.
