It’s the “season of love and giving”…but this year, doesn’t it seem more like a “season of fear and taking”? Like many of you, I’ve been saddened by the human impact of draconian government budget cuts and how angry many housed Americans are at unhoused Americans.

It is difficult to overstate how much of Elon Musk's posting on X is now just him quote tweeting the stupidest white nationalist shit and agreeing with it.

Pretty wild that people still question whether that was a Nazi salute he did.
Elon Musk quote tweeting "True" to a post that says "Fun facts about 'stolen' tribal land: The Sioux took the land from the Cheyenne, who took it from the Kiowa, who took it from the Pawnee, who took it from the Crow, who took it from the Arikara. The victors not only took the land, they enslaved their enemies."
