Historian of fascism here. It was a Nazi salute and a very belligerent one too.
The Nazis think this was a Nazi salute, but, hey, what would they know?

One thing I really wish more journalists would repeat like parrots when discussing birthright citizenship is that, unless you're naturalized (and a few other exceptions), that is how you got your citizenship.
Even if your family goes back to the Mayflower, you got it that way.

In the space of half a day, the new administration has trashed the Constitution, subverted the independence of the DOJ, granted a broad amnesty to traitors, abandoned the global community on climate and public health, and launched a wide-ranging attack on minority rights.

this worked out super well for germans in the 30s
authoritarians won’t simply go away or not take your rights because you ignore them. read a history book.

I refuse to be swept into the "what awful thing did he say or do today" or "what we speculate he will say or do" thing again for 4 years, that's what they want everyone to do, that is how this admin operates and the media loves it

alright you wanna know how to support trans people?
hire them. It's REALLY hard already for visibly trans people to get jobs, even before this shit.
Support places that have trans people working front of house, and make sure owners know that's part of why you're there.
