It’s easy to laugh or dismiss Kanye, but he made a Super Bowl ad directing viewers to his website, which only sold t-shirts with a swastika.
He has influence. And he has helped to normalize anti-Semitism and make it mainstream.
Please don’t allow this to continue being normal.

If the meaning of Musk’s nazi salute wasn’t clear, his comments at a rally for Germany’s far-right AfD should help.

If you’re in an institution doing any kind of DEI work, the most important thing to do right now is simply call it something else. Change it to “Community Outreach” & then keep on doing the same important work. When they outlaw Community Outreach rebrand it as “Strategic Partnerships,” rinse/repeat.

Woulda, coulda, shoulda
The evidence in the case of Donald Trump illegally seeking to cling to power after losing the 2020 election would have been sufficient to convict him, had his 2024 win not made it impossible for the prosecution to continue, Jack Smith, the special counsel, said in a final report.
Special Counsel Report Says Trump Would Have Been Convicted in Election Case
The report, which said the special counsel’s office stood “fully behind” the merits of the prosecution, amounted to an extraordinary rebuke of the president-elect.
