With reports that Elon will run ads about “government waste” today, it would be good to do some basic inoculation with friends who’ll watch the Super Bowl.

It can be as basic as “Musk, the Nazi-saluting liar, will run Super Bowl ads today. Don’t believe him.”

Don’t assume everyone already knows.

If you’re “not sure” about Musk’s salute then do one at work today. Go on.

That should clear it up real quick.

Gotta say, I am not at all surprised that TERF dialects are a significant aspect of modern fascism.

This just in! You 100% can make up a definition and say it’s real. That’s how every definition ever happened.

Joy is a radical act.
Taxing rich people isn't just the ethically and morally correct thing to do in literally ANY circumstance, it's also fun to watch them cry about it.

This is a good thread about transphobe Rowling’s recent misinformation that “trans kids don’t exist”. Reality is so hard for bigots.
1. On Saturday, JK Rowling falsely claimed that "there are no trans kids."

Her disinformation about the existence of trans people was viewed millions of times.

She also previously falsely claimed trans people weren't targeted in the Holocaust.

I am deeply suspicious of "normal" people, in a society like ours. The only way you can be normal in this kinda society, is to be complicit with things that are deeply inhumane. It means being okay with cutthroat capitalism, imperialism, militarism, colonialism, genocide, and ethnic cleansing.
