Today in America.
Elon Musk just gave a speech and did a Sieg Heil. Nazi salute.
No need to debate people who tell you Republicans aren't Nazis. There's no point. We know they are Nazis. They know they are Nazis.
They want to keep you caught up in arguing over basic truth and facts. Don't bother.
We all know.

If there ever was an inauguration anti-ballad, here it is. And it’s a damn good song ❤️
If the world was ending, I'd wanna…have these folks’ careers: my @slate.bsky.social series #WhyIsThisSongNo1? takes on “Die with a Smile” by Bruno Mars & Lady Gaga—pop veterans who launched during Obama’s 1st term. As we brace for Trump 2.0 & watch the world burn, I analyze who needed this hit more.
Two of the 2010s’ Biggest Stars Are Back Atop the Charts. One of Them Needed It More.
Lady Gaga and Bruno Mars are back at No. 1. One of them needed it more.
