"Although some people claimed Musk’s salute wasn’t intended to evoke the Nazis, Bannon didn’t get the benefit of the doubt." Then why does this article give #Bannon the benefit of the doubt? "Apparent Nazi salute"; "gesture"; "salute." Bannon is obviously a #Nazi, and the #media? cowardly, complicit, and also fascistic. I looked up the writer, David Moye, and don't think he should be covering this. #Fascism #UsPol
#Musk would be very unhappy to see this ad, which was accepted and then rejected by the #fascist cowards at #WaPo. Would be a shame if it got a head of steam on social media. #Bezos image
If you are able and in need of a service/product offered by one of these companies, consider choosing one of the names on this list, which I know isn't perfect but they have honored their commitment not to support candidates who denied the results of the election.

"[47's] great power is also a rejuvenator & energiser-an antidote to late-life senescence. Power increases testosterone, which in turn boosts dopamine–just like cocaine. This fuels an aggressive, feel-good state of mind, particularly in dominant, amoral personalities such as Trump’s. It also creates a restless, hyperactive state of mind which, when combined w/a feeling of omnipotence, fosters the delusions that you can snap your fingers & sort every problem." #USPol
Having learned a little about #CTE (Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy) -- repeated concussions resulting in #dementia -- I am not a fan of #football anymore (that and the racism et al). I can't watch it anymore but I can read about it and this article about the misogyny at the Super Bowl is an important read. #TaylorSwift #MAGA #USPol
Is #bluesky freakin' kidding? How coarse, ageist, and utterly offensive. Can you do better than this, #JayGraber? image
"If we don’t resign, remote workers have been told they need to move to work in one of 9 cities by March 3, & we haven’t been told if we get to pick from among the (or if we will randomly be assigned to a city in which we don’t live or have any connections. My bosses, & my bosses’ bosses, don’t have answers to any of our questions. Nobody knows who is in charge, though the leadership level of our parking garage is suddenly filled w/Teslas." #Fascism #Musk #OPM
The beauty & clarity of righteous resistance: "#Medical journals, including The #BMJ, do not retract published articles on demand. We will not retract published articles on request by an author on the basis that they contain so-called banned words. Retraction occurs in circumstances where clear evidence exists of major errors, data fabrication, or falsification that compromise the reliability of the research findings. It is not a matter of author request." https://www.bmj.com/content/388/bmj.r253
The righteous #LetitiaJames, NY AG told hospitals "they would be violating state law if they stop offering gender-affirming care for people under age 19 in response to an executive order from Trump aimed at curtailing federal funding for such treatments." I hope this means that NY Langone Health will either get sued for denying on 2.2.25 gender-affirming care to 2 12 year-olds or will reverse their loathsome decision. #TransRightsAreHumanRights #UsPol
