Many people in South Africa, where Elon is from, died to create a genuinely multiracial polity. They were killed by people who thought like Elon.
The people who thought like Elon also lost. Seems their “common culture” of white supremacy wasn’t enough.

1/3 What Musk is really referring to here is, of course “race” - that construct that served to define the hierarchies of wealth & power structured by modern colonialism. Like other far right racists though, he uses the word “culture” as a seemingly less pernicious synonym.

The acting director of ICE told Congress, under oath, that local law enforcement in Colorado leaked raid plans, allowing gang members to escape.
After 9NEWS questioned ICE's claim and its timeline, ICE deleted the claim from its social media platforms.

The rush of elites to kneel before Don drowned out the opposition to Trump 2, which was immediate thanks to the networks built during Trump 1.
But once the Tesla Takedown took off, and then LA, Chicago & then Minneapolis, it kept growing into the movement we longed for in that vile winter of 2025.

Remember: Everyone who says that athletes or artists should stay out of politics does not just fail to understand that in moments like these politics infuses every aspect of every life in our country--they are actually part of the problem. Silence is a position. Silence serves autocrats and thugs.

It’s not reassuring that a grand jury refused to indict. Elias argues that the harm already occurred. First Amendment speech was criminally investigated, ballots were seized, and a precedent was set. These failed abuses normalize the next attempt.
How did we end up with a MAGA U.S. attorney in Missouri successfully shepherding a ridiculous search warrant past a magistrate judge to seize six-year-old ballots? www.democracydocket.com/opinion/two-...
Two cases and the grease that breaks democracy
The obvious lesson many are drawing is that ordinary citizens are more reliable protectors of democracy than judges in black robes.

Fascist regimes toast as if time belongs to them. Mussolini hung upside down. Ceaușescu faced the wall. Hitler took himself out with a bullet. Power swears it is eternal even when the rot begins to surface. The party always ends. It always ends. Do not kneel. This too shall pass.
