Didn’t Speaker Johnson assure everyone Sunday that only criminal undocumented immigrants will be deported? Guys, I think he wasn’t being honest…

FASCISM ALERT

Friday, March 14th, Elon Musk shared an X user's post claiming that Hitler, Stalin & Mao didn't murder millions of people: public sector workers did. Elon quickly deleted it after it sparked a backlash.

Free article from NYT.
Elon Musk Shared, Then Deleted X Post Absolving Hitler, Stalin and Mao of Genocide (Gift Article)
The post falsely claimed that Joseph Stalin, Adolf Hitler and Mao Zedong were not responsible for the murders of millions of people, but rather public sector workers were.

This admin is cutting $400 mill to Columbia because even with a violent, unprecedented police crackdown, they “didn’t make Jewish students feel safe.” Meanwhile Def Sec Pete Hegseth’s press secretary is at minimum a Nazi sympathizer. I know what makes this Jew feel less safe.

Never ever ever forget this image of Elon Musk trying to rally the AfD--the Nazi-affiliated right--in Germany ahead of yesterday's election. They may not have won, but they doubled their support.

Trump’s executive orders are not law.

This doctor knows it. Many hospital systems know it.

Those that comply with something not passed by congress and with power not constitutionally granted to the president are cowardly.

I just deleted my Facebook account & I feel like a better person for it. Also, for anyone else thinking of doing this: a) plan on spending a LOT of time downloading your videos & photos if they aren't already saved elsewhere, and b) FB takes 30 days from the time you hit "delete" to actually do it.🙈

Those of us who are Jewish and queer have been to this circus before and recognize these clowns. The time to reach out to your trans friends and colleagues and offer support and help (including, possibly, help leaving the USA) is NOW.
If you cannot call it what it is when all in a week: a government removes every mention of a group of people, destroys information about them en masse, bans their discussion in schools, restricts their ability to travel and starts seizing and refusing their official identification, when will you?

Almost 1 million of the 6 million Jews murdered in the Holocaust were killed at Auschwitz in German-occupied Poland. January 27th, 2025 marks the 80th anniversary of Auschwitz's liberation. Memory is fragile. A decade ago, 300 survivors gathered; on Monday, only 50 will assemble for the anniversary.

This is Carolyn Edwards. She was one of the first officers attacked and knocked out on January 6th. She bravely testified before the January 6th committee. She is one of the bravest people I know and she deserves better. (She posted this publicly on her FB page which is why I'm sharing publicly)

This is the important part! If you submit your application for a gender marker change, you will not receive your passport or your supporting documents back.

All applications for gender marker change are on hold while the State Department changes this policy.

Anyone who now submits an application for a change runs the risk of losing access to their passport and documents while their application is being processed.

It would be terrible if someone flooded the snitch email with a million AI slop fake reports every day.

I hope no one does that. It would be wrong.

White House reporters are excited that after four years of boring interviews with subject-matter experts they now get the adrenaline rush that comes from the personal attention of a president who threatens to have them executed. www.cjr.org/political_pr...

@spiegel.de's spot-on commentary on the Inauguration:
Trump's aide Elon Musk was babbling about the "return of the king" in front of cheering fans and making strange hand gestures that could also be interpreted as a Hitler salute.

Holy shit. PLEASE repost widely. This is proof positive of what I tell my EU friends who ask how people could possibly have voted for Trump: it's because they are literally watching a different reality on their TVs. But even I, no Innocent, expected @nbcnews.com to be abetting this shit.
