More than 50 Reddit communities ban X links to protest Musk The cascade of link bans came after Musk made a hand gesture at a Monday rally that many compared to a Nazi salute, which many cited in their protests, among other things.

The US president just attacked a female bishop for saying Christian things in a Christian sermon, calling her a "so-called bishop", not "smart", and "not very good at her job."
