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.

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.🙈

I agree, though I expect this kind of flagrant Third Reich-loving behavior from Elon. The far harder part for me & for many Jews, was watching the Anti-Defamation League cover for him while Mark Zuckerberg & Jeff Bezos--also Jewish, like me--say nothing. We had a word for that in the camps: "kapos."

How very monarch & president of them. The focus for this Jewish American & many of my friends is how to prevent the USA--and the world--from doing a repeat, whether in the USA, Israel, Palestine, Germany, Hungary, Russia, Italy. Everything old is Third Reich again, putting us all at risk.

Tomorrow marks the 80th anniversary of Auschwitz's liberation. May all of their memories be for a blessing.

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.

And while you're at it, people should absolutely NOT go to the ADL website and use this form to report Musk’s salute www.adl.org/report-incid...

Good to see you always, but especially during this decade of a week. Hang in there! Or come to Barcelona!

@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.

Spending the day downloading all of my Facebook photos and videos in preparation for deleting my account. It's like watching a movie of my life since 2005, including this video from the 2017 PS1 Halloween party. Hashtag:

I deeply regret the @washingtonpost.com's decision to replace "Democracy Dies in Darkness" with “Riveting Storytelling for All of America" as their new mission statement. I guess "Blowing Authoritarians and Abetting Fascism on the Regular" was already taken?

It's been working for CENTURIES. I mean, why fix what ain't broke?🙈 My new standup routine opens with, "There will be no dick jokes in this set, because I believe that comedians should stick to their interests and their areas of expertise." VERY few laughs from the bros in last night's audience.

Also, instead of “Riveting Storytelling for All of America," may I please suggest as an alternative, "Blowing the incoming authoritarians and abetting fascism on the regular"?

In addition to having no international, military, or leadership experience, Hegseth faces sexual assault charges, clearly has alcohol issues & has WHITE NATIONALIST tattoos: “Deus Vult," is the slogan of various Christian right, Christian nationalist, alt-right & white supremacist groups.

Given Zuck's recent rejection of protections for LGBTQ+ people on his sites, his dismantling of all of Meta's DEI initiatives & call for "more masculine energy" at companies, and his decision to rid his sites of all those nasty fact checkers, I am breathlessly awaiting the results of this purge.
