Musk joins German far right's opening rally remotely, instructs Germans to stop feeling guilty and reminds them how impressed Caesar had been with German tribes' ability to fight.

I love this thread. How do you live a life that's consonant with your beliefs? That helps you to align with your communities? And that positions you to be able to understand and generate the good kinds of changes our world needs? Reading does all these.
One of the best things you can do right now is read books. Buy them. Borrow them from the library. Gift them.

Read history. Read fiction. Read science writing. Read anything that shows you the world is bigger than what fascists say it is.

Read to remember why your resistance matters. 📚💙

“My only regret is they should have brought rifles,” Stewart Rhodes said four days after Jan. 6.

“We could have fixed it right then and there,” he said. “I'd hang fucking Pelosi from the lamppost.”

not even gonna look this up, don't care if it's legit or not...

the image of a bigass table with a wined-up ramses, and a bunch of grizzlies scarfing shotput-sized chunks of raw meat, and some hamm's-swilling flyfishers, all whooping it up while the dead jamms, is everything and all i need today
When the Memphis pyramid was built the Ramses exhibit was shown there. They held concerts where bands like the Grateful Dead played. NBA moved in with the Grizzlies and they wanted a fancier stadium. So city leaders scratched their heads and brought in Bass Pro. That was the best they could do. 😂

All I know is that three tiny women of an age that generally renders them invisible in American culture are three of the only people who have shown any degree of courage or a moral compass this week.

Bishop Budde - 65
Senior Judge Howell - 68
Pam Hemphill (refused DJT pardon bc "I'm guilty") - 71

Incredible stuff. Evangelical leader Franklin Graham spent yesterday blasting Rev. Budde and claiming the cathedral had been “taken over by gay activists” — unaware that Trump had frozen a refugee program that Graham supports, and was one of the things Budde was referencing in her sermon.

This is the guy who started the Silk Road dark website which was used the facilitate major global drug trafficking. Was serving life in prison. But when Trump wanted the Libertarian Party endorsement he promised them this. He never heard of Ulbricht. Even spelled his name wrong.

would love to read something that could use these two data-targeting stories to highlight the reason(s?) why manafort giving polling data to putin's proxy-mobster buddy was...not...a good thing, and had real world consequences

maybe even karl rove, or lee atwater, could have a chapter?

musk's "pr firm" is just a bunch of low-rent farms

his "private" far-right club, his proAfD op-ed, and his double sieg-heil, resulted in a trifecta of non-apologies in the form of responses to posts on his own website, incl. a crypto-fanning stan acct pumping elon memes

And this is why you should not make a big show of ASKING politicians to disavow Musk's Nazi salute. Bc they'll use it to spread propaganda.

It’s notable that the double Nazi salute is not only clear, it’s also perfectly in line with Elon Musk and Trump’s ideology of white genocide, great replacement theory, and the cult of reproduction.

And Nazis are very much feeling empowered to be visible today.

Today was a reboot of January 30, 1933, when a group of elite German business people helped catapult Hitler to power thinking they could control him — and then did nothing when they couldn’t.

Musk’s Hitler salute was just a brief moment of honesty.
