UN Human Rights Chief @volker_turk deeply concerned by Israel's use of unlawful lethal force in #Jenin, calls for an end to the violence as well as to all settlement expansion in the occupied #WestBank as rapidly as possible.

Hi!

Holocaust historian here. Let me see if I can help. That wasn't a "weird salute." It was a Hitler salute. Because Elon is a fucking Nazi.

Hope that helps!

Those were Nazi salutes.

Yes, I’ve seen the Elon Musk sieg heil. My professional opinion is that you’re all right, you should believe your eyes, and you don’t need me to tell you all what you already know is true

[PBS News @NewsHour]

Billionaire Elon Musk gave what appeared to be a fascist salute Monday while making a speech at the post-inauguration celebration for President Donald Trump at the Capital One Arena.

“Some elections are important, some are not. But this one, this one really mattered and I just want to say thank you for making it happen,” Musk said before putting his hand on his chest and then raising it in a salute that appeared similar to the “Sieg Heil” used by Nazis at their victory rallies.

“It is thanks to you that the future of civilization is assured," Musk said.

Trump named Musk and entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy to lead the "Department of Government Efficiency," an outside commission aimed at identifying federal programs and spending to cut. After Trump was sworn in, multiple lawsuits were filed against the Trump administration claiming that the move violates federal transparency laws.

The National Post is garbage.

[Marc Edge @marcedge1]

National Post complains in an editorial that the CBC is "pilfering an estimated $7 million a year from the $100 million that Google agreed to pay Canadian news publishers" . . . worse, it is spending that money on news

@marcedge1 That works, thank you!

@jawilliamsUCLA @alyssaegoldberg Also - “Neutered" is “gendered dog whistle." It perpetuates the patriarchy, gender traditionalism and anti-LGBTQ+ rhetoric.

Can’t wait to ask my students about the TikTok ban. For many of them it’s the only medium they’ve ever received news from. It’s like the Supreme Court is shutting down the New York Times for GenZ.

Very good thread which clarifies that 2020 Dem victory rested on harnessing antisystem voters, who stayed home in 2024.
