This is a delicate moment. It’s a new day and yet so many are on edge. Our politics are inflamed, and social media only adds to the anxiety.
It seems that @elonmusk made an awkward gesture in a moment of enthusiasm, not a Nazi salute, but again, we appreciate that people are on edge.
In this moment, all sides should give one another a bit of grace, perhaps even the benefit of the doubt, and take a breath. This is a new beginning. Let’s hope for healing and work toward unity in the months and years ahead.
Any Black person who performs at Trump’s inauguration dishonors:
• The Black families he refused to rent to in the 1970s,
• The Black kids he wanted to execute in the Central Park case in the 1980s,
• The Black casino workers he mistreated in the 1990s,
• The Black president he lied about in the 2000s,
• The Black NFL players he attacked as president,
• The Black election workers he targeted when he lost in 2020, and
• The Black Haitian immigrants he lied about in the 2024 election.

I hope Hogan being booed out of the fucking stadium makes WWE realize that bringing a massive racist out on one of your most important shows ever is a bad idea. Good shit LA.
One of my uncles won’t come to Christmas because he says my other uncle gave him COVID last year. To be fair, he probably did, so there’s ground to it. Now the rest of my boomer family are mocking him with fake sneezes and coughs. This is why we couldn’t get rid of it.
SNL crowd cheered last night at the mention of Luigi Mangione, but good luck finding that on the TL.
Social media seems to be trying to suppress rallying around fighting back against corporate overlords (not with murder, just for a better living).
