Hey @elonmusk don’t reply, but let this sit, was throwing it away worth it? I remember when you did want to “do good” and looked up to legion; all those billions and you fucked up. It doesn’t matter how much cash or influence you horde if you can’t stand for yourself. Repent.

82 years ago today, some of the bravest people in human history stormed the beaches of Normandy to confront absolute evil and back those who had been battling it street by street for nearly a decade. Thanks to the Soviet Union, who's Russia originally shook hands with Hitler helping trigger the devastating world war, and to the 14 other soviet republics that fought bravely to undo that asinine mistake, those being Ukraine, Belarus, Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Georgia, Azerbaijan, Lithuania, Moldova, Latvia, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Armenia, Turkmenistan, and Estonia, whose 27 million dead and Operation Bagration sixteen days later made Normandy possible by tying down two-thirds of the Wehrmacht on the Eastern Front. Belarus lost roughly a quarter of its population. Ukraine lost an estimated 7 million. Thanks to the UK, which supplied most of the naval force, most of the air force, the planning, the airfields, and around 61,000 troops on Gold and Sword. Thanks to Canada, whose 14,000 troops on Juno achieved nearly a total victory and the deepest penetration of any beach on the first day. Thanks to Free France, whose 177 commandos of Philippe Kieffer's unit at Sword (the only French force to land on French soil on 6 June), the cruisers Georges Leygues and Montcalm shelling Omaha, and the destroyer La Combattante in the screen. Thanks to Poland, whose navy (Błyskawica, Piorun, Dragon, Ślązak) covered the landings, whose pilots flew air cover (303 Squadron had the highest kill rate of any RAF unit in the Battle of Britain), and whose 1st Armoured Division under General Maczek closed the Falaise Pocket weeks later at Hill 262. Thanks to Norway, the Netherlands, and Greece, whose navies sailed with the Royal Navy as government-in-exile forces in Operation Neptune. Thanks to Czechoslovakia, whose 310, 312, and 313 Squadrons flew with the RAF. Thanks to Belgium, whose pilots flew with the RAF and whose Piron Brigade landed in Normandy in early August. Thanks to Newfoundland, then a separate dominion, whose artillery served in the Normandy campaign and whose sailors served across the Royal Navy. Thanks to Australian, New Zealand, South African, and Indian airmen in RAF squadrons, and to the Royal Australian Navy ship that sailed with the bombardment force. Thanks to Australian, New Zealand, South African, and Indian airmen in RAF squadrons. And thanks to the United States, whose 73,000 troops landed at Utah and Omaha, and fought bravely despite a decade of isolationism (the Neutrality Acts of 1935 to 1939), an 'America First' movement whose figurehead Charles Lindbergh accepted a medal from Göring in 1938 and made openly antisemitic speeches, a Henry Ford who took the Grand Cross of the German Eagle the same year and whose antisemitic writings Hitler quoted in Mein Kampf, and US corporations (Ford, GM/Opel, IBM, Standard Oil, ITT, Chase) doing business with Nazi Germany, some of which kept operating well into the war and continue to do business with the tyrants of today.

This Community Note (@CommunityNotes ) added context is not factual, it’s disingenuous, and answers a claim nobody made. The post never denied that “America” is common shorthand for the United States. It said the shorthand is politically loaded. Proving the usage exists isn’t a rebuttal, it’s a restatement of the thing being criticised. The history also runs the other way too. “America” named the continent in 1507, on Waldseemüller’s map, after Amerigo Vespucci, more than 250 years before the United States existed. The continent didn’t borrow its name from the country. The country took the continental name and then collapsed the distinction in English. “Since the birth of the nation” is wrong. Founding-era writing used “the United States,” “the Union,” and “these States.” The Declaration reads “the thirteen united States of America,” with a lowercase “united,” because it was descriptive, not yet a proper name. The exclusive use of “American” for US citizens hardened through the 1800s, alongside Manifest Destiny, the phrase John O’Sullivan coined in 1845 to argue the US should expand across the whole continent. The wording and the expansion grew together. Opening a basic history book would show that. Other countries with “United States” in their official names get none of this. Mexico is officially Estados Unidos Mexicanos. Brazil was Estados Unidos do Brasil until 1967. Neither gets to claim “America” or “Americans.” The privilege runs one way, and that asymmetry is the evidence the convention isn’t neutral. Across Latin America, “América” still means the whole landmass. A Mexican, Colombian or Argentinian is an americano. Treating “American” as US-only erases more than 600 million people on the same continents. “USian” isn’t an internet coinage it has been around for over a century. It names the issue the Note purposely ignores, English has no clean demonym for “of the United States” that doesn’t also mean “of the Americas.” Other languages solved that issue long ago. Spanish has estadounidense, Portuguese estadunidense, Italian statunitense, each pointing to a US national and leaving americano for the continent. English is the outlier in making one word do both jobs. The English alternatives have a paper trail too. H.L. Mencken’s “The American Language” lists demonyms proposed between 1789 and 1939, and “USian” is in it by name, alongside “United Statesian,” “Unisian” and “Usonian.” The writer James Duff Law coined “Usona” and “Usonian” in 1903 as a deliberate replacement for “American,” and Frank Lloyd Wright later adopted “Usonian.” The complaint about “American” itself is recorded as far back as 1791. People have been reaching for a precise word for two centuries. A demonym comes from the country’s name, US plus -ian, the same suffix in Canadian and Brazilian. The objection that it sounds awkward is about familiarity, not legitimacy. “Canadian” had to be coined too. A demonym earns its place by referring unambiguously and being used, not by age or official approval. That’s the Note’s whole move, a nationalist and emotional appeal to tradition, and it’s the only real objection to “USian” as well: that it’s unfamiliar. Plenty of terms got revised once the politics under them was named out loud. How long people have said something isn’t a defence of saying it, and “we’ve always said it this way” is the weakest possible answer to “here’s why saying it this way is a problem.” 1507 map: https://t.co/sDRbYCjaD0 Declaration wording: https://t.co/uEADB0WgyS Manifest Destiny 1845: https://t.co/0sTLVKBBX6 “USian” in Mencken’s list: https://t.co/0eQjpO2Kp7 estadounidense: https://t.co/haXsuHJaRr

@YourAnonCentral I used to hate the term "États-unien," but what I hate even more is people from the U.S. using "America" & "American" (and "Américain" in French) to refer to themselves. USian and États-Unien it is! Plus it fills me with so much joy that the MAGA cult's so angry about it 🥰

The RSF have no air force of its own. It built one with Chinese hardware, delivered via the UAE. These drones are capable of long-range surveillance and strikes via laser-guided bombs, with high precision and a strike range of up to 4,000 kilometres.

The SAF has been equipped with the Mohajer-6, manufactured by Qods Aviation Industries in Iran, an organisation linked to the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps. The drone carries up to four air-to-surface missiles and is documented to have been used across Sudan.
