BREAKING - Elon Musk minion RESIGNS in disgrace

Marko Elez, 25, previously called for a "eugenic immigration policy" and repealing the Civil Rights Act

Straight up NAZI RACISM of the sickest kind - and he was in charge of all of your tax and payment info through the US Treasury

Feeling so anxious and sad and I’m not even sure why.

This is what they were doing instead of appointing an FAA director ensuring there were enough air traffic controllers.

("Marriage" is there because this of course isn't about planning for future communities, it's about giving rural white people preferential treatment with federal resources.)

every single person who was Just Asking Questions and Hearing From Both Sides and served to normalize the inhumanity that led to this, know that you will all be together in hell in the deepest lake of fire, at the bottom of a rotting pit, drowning and boiling in the blood that you helped spill

Trump administration orders federal funding freeze on all public loans, grants and more aid The freeze could have wide-ranging implications, with the White House noting that $3 trillion was spent in 2024 on federal assistance programs.

This is meant to hurt BIPOC and the most vulnerable among us…

The federal funding freeze is impacting virtually every American and probably most people on earth either directly or indirectly and the dems are twiddling their thumbs and voting to confirm his cabinet

Japanese Internment, the Chinese Exclusion Act, segregation, Jim Crow, and Fugitive Slave Laws were all legal at the time they were executed. The PATRIOT Act was legal. Stop and Frisk was legal.

Legality means fuck all to authoritarians.

freezing food stamps and WIC for almost 20 million white people in America.... I guess he's working on the groceries now...

The plan is to crash the economy to suppress wages.

The raids tore apart families and communities, leaving lasting trauma for Mexican Americans who remained in the U.S. as well. Former California State Senator Martha M. Escutia has said that growing up in East Los Angeles, her immigrant grandfather never even walked to the corner grocery store without his passport for fear of being stopped and deported. Even after he became a naturalized citizen, he continued to carry it with him.

One of the issues is the ‘repatriation’ took place without any legal protections in place or any kind of due process,” says Kevin R. Johnson, a dean and professor of public interest law and Chicana/o studies at the University of California, Davis, School of Law. “So you could argue that all of them were unconstitutional, all of them were illegal because no modicum of process was followed.” Instead, local governments and officers with little knowledge of immigrants’ rights simply arrested people and put them on trucks, buses or trains bound for Mexico, regardless of whether they were documented immigrants or even native-born citizens. Deporters rounded up children and adults however they could, often raiding public places where they thought Mexican Americans hung out. In 1931, one Los Angeles raid rounded up more than 400 people at La Placita Park and deported them to Mexico.

Although there was no federal law or executive order authorizing the 1930s raids, President Herbert Hoover’s administration, which used the racially-coded slogan, “American jobs for real Americans,” implicitly approved of them. His secretary of labor, William Doak, also helped pass local laws and arrange agreements that prevented Mexican Americans from holding jobs. Some laws banned Mexican Americans from government employment, regardless of their citizenship status. Meanwhile, companies like Ford, U.S. Steel and the Southern Pacific Railroad agreed to lay off thousands of Mexican American workers.

The next president, Franklin Delano Roosevelt, didn’t officially sanction “repatriation drives,” but neither did he suppress them. These raids continued under his administration and only really died out during World War II, when the U.S. began recruiting temporary Mexican workers through the Bracero Program because it needed wartime labor.

Not even a hundred years ago and i never knew to learn about it~ Up to 1.8 million people of Mexican descent—most of them American-born—were rounded up in informal raids and deported during the Great Depression in an effort to reserve jobs for white people

Hi 😊

when you are not allowed to criticize fascism, that's a good indication you are living in a fascist state.

I’m just gonna say this and be over with it, but when ACTUAL GERMANS are telling you “it is EXACTLY what you think it is”, believe that shit.

Idc what MSM says or how they try to spin it. It is exactly what it is.

A N**i salute.

The biggest douche in the world finally meets the consequences of his own actions.

Democrats move to protect Medicaid, wary of Trump’s looming changes Protect Our Care, a liberal advocacy group, is launching a $10 million “Hands Off Medicaid” campaign that targets 17 GOP lawmakers.

Democrats are quickly moving to shield Medicaid — touting its benefits and vowing to fight big changes to it.

They’re drawing on lessons from the first Trump administration, when Medicaid became a target.

GOP leaders are eying Medicaid for trillions of dollars in cuts.

I dedicated years of my life to reporting on January 6 and exposing what happened. I was there that day, co-wrote a book, and published a series of major stories on my own, for Rolling Stone, and for TPM.

I hope it mattered. I hope history will remember and understand what happened.

Alright, well, video games.

With 25% tariffs on imports from Mexico on the way, I can see a sharp downtick in the number of disc-based games that get released physically in the US, as much of that production infrastructure is in Mexico.

If they do get made, I expect higher prices both phys & dig.

All media seems to be going with the headline “Musk accused of giving ‘Nazi salute’ after hand gesture”

No. It’s not an accusation. We saw it with our own eyes. Hold onto that truth.

I promise y’all one thing- a lot less of all of us are gonna make it through this if most of you keep ignoring Natives and imagining Black people don’t know what they’re talking about. Keep that in mind. Think of what our communities have endured. You need to start listening.

Historian of fascism here. It was a Nazi salute and a very belligerent one too.

Textbooks are gonna get real weird about how they cover WWII now, huh

Elon Musk doing a Nazi salute

Guys, it's clearly a Roman salute. Ya know, when the Romans were over run by Nazis and all became Nazis

The oligarchs cling to MLK’s “I Have a Dream” speech—because dreams aren’t a threat.

They hide this—we will have to pay the bill while they keep TAKING and distracting us with HATE for each other so that we won’t notice.

They don’t want you to know about Martin Luther King’s “One Penny” speech…
