In a blistering statement, the American Bar Association describes "attacks on constitutionally protected birthright citizenship, the dismantling of USAID and the attempts to criminalize" diversity initiatives as "wide-scale affronts to the rule of law itself."

To recap, Trump:
-Forced out the FAA chief at Musk's insistence
-Imposed a hiring freeze that reportedly included air traffic controllers
-Fired the TSA head and gutted a key aviation safety committee
-Blamed the DCA crash on DEI
This is disastrous leadership.
Someone in my IG comments just said, “Franklin has drunk the Kool-Aid and called it communion.”
I can’t remember the last time I heard a line as perfect as that one.
“Nazi” isn’t a slur. It’s a word that describes real people who earnestly believe in their ideas. Their ideas are disgusting and hateful, but of course they often do not realize it.
I keep running into racists who think that it’s not white supremacist to think that white people are inherently superior to other races. No…that’s the whole definition!! The fact that they believe it earnestly and don’t think it’s an idiotic, hateful belief doesn’t mean it’s not an idiotic, hateful belief.
Nazi isn’t a word that means “bad evil boogeyman” it means “someone who believes in their own racial superiority, extreme protectionist nativism, the purifying of society by eliminating undesirables, expansionism, active suppression of dissent, and total state power held in the hands of a very small group.”
Make sure the people you’re cheering for don’t believe these things because otherwise…
If you’re upset by a woman prophetically speaking truth to power, let me introduce you to Jesus’ mom:
“God has brought down rulers from their thrones but has lifted up the humble. God has filled the hungry with good things but has sent the rich away empty.”
-Luke 1:52-53
Just the facts:
1. The gesture he made was a perfect Nazi salute. That’s not in dispute.
2. Did he mean to make the Nazi salute? Only @elonmusk knows.
3. But here’s the thing: Elon is no dummy. He knows the gesture he made looks like the perfect Nazi salute, and he knows the evil history of that gesture. Heck, as kids we ALL knew the evil history of that gesture. All Elon would have to do is simply say “Fuck no. Fuck no, I wasn’t doing the Nazi salute. I would NEVER do the Nazi salute. The Nazis were evil. Fuck the Nazis.”
4. And Elon hasn’t said that. Any of that.
MAGA, @benshapiro, et al: "No, it wasn't a Nazi salute, he's just sheltered and autistic!"
GERMANS: "Yeah, it was a Nazi salute."
Some ask Ben Shapiro if he knows who Rosa Nienau was.
The President demanding an apology for a bishop’s sermon and a congressperson calling for her deportation and the MAGA response to take away tax exempt status and harass staff are what actual attacks on religious freedom look like. Christian nationalism is coming for us all.
Under Trump's executive order, every single person in America is now legally classified as female.
All embryos begin by developing female sex organs, with male sex organs only replacing them at around 6 weeks of gestation.
