On 21 March 1933 Adolf Hitler was officially sworn in as chancellor of Germany. The same day he pardoned 8,000 Nazis, who had committed violent acts, starting with the failed Hitler coup on 8 November 1923.

SHARE WIDELY.
KNOW YOUR RIGHTS.

With mass deportations starting today across the country, it is vitally important - for both citizens and non-citizens - to know your rights.

You have the right to remain silent. Assert it. You have the right to a lawyer. Ask for one.

This is a remarkable moment. Trump and Vance sit there in silence, as a bishop pleas with them to lean on their better angels and not follow through with their depraved campaign promises that target the LGBTQ+ community and immigrants.

Never seen anything like this.
Rev. Mariann Edgar Budde to Trump: "I ask you to have mercy upon the people in our country who are scared now. There are gay, lesbian, and transgender people in Democratic, Republican, and independent families, some who fear for their lives ... and the vast majority of immigrants are not criminals"

No one should be debating what Elon did or what it means. That gesture was crystal clear. He’s a white supremacist who wants this admiration to carry out policies to continue to entrench white supremacy & oligarchy and there is no daylight between those two goals.

Wanted to see if what Elmo did was simply an “awkward gesture.”

Let’s go to the photo.

Nope. Looks like a Nazi salute to me. The face says everything.

PS…hey ADL…we’re not stupid so stop trying to gaslight.

Vance was obviously lying when he said violent Jan. 6 criminals shouldn’t/wouldn’t be pardoned.
Trump was clear he intended to, getting his Blackshirts back on the street. Vance was clear that, unlike Pence, he would’ve broken the law to aid the coup.
The error here is media’s credulous stenography.
I’m old enough to remember this from last Sunday.

Sergeant Gonell @sergeantaqgo.bsky.social sent me this picture. This is his call log. Each call is an automated Dept of "Justice" notification saying "The defendant you testified against is being released from the dept of corrections."
Each defendant assaulted him.

I would be more inclined to give Elon the benefit of the doubt over the Sieg Heil salute if he hadn't just endorsed the closest thing Germany has today to the Nazi party

People with eyes: "Elon Musk make a Nazi salute."

Historians who have studied the rise of fascism: "Elon Musk made a Nazi salute."

Mainstream Media: "Elon Musk made a heartfelt gesture that was misconstrued as a Nazi salute."
