Trump’s attack on the Smithsonian is a brazen attempt to erase Black history, LGBTQ+ visibility, and anything that doesn’t worship whiteness and power. This is cultural cleansing.

Trump’s executive order to rewrite Smithsonian exhibits is straight from the fascist playbook: Control the narrative, erase uncomfortable truths, and declare your propaganda the

Tesla stock is in absolute free fall and the funniest reaction to me has to be Tesla Owners of Silicon Valley posting: Hey, other car companies also did nazi shit.

An image of a social media post from the account "Tesla Owners Silicon Valley," featuring a list of car manufacturers with historical ties to Nazi practices. The post highlights General Motors, Volkswagen, BMW, Mercedes-Benz, and Audi, noting their involvement in forced labor during the holocaust

2. General Motors (GM) - Through its German subsidiary, Opel, GM produced vehicles for the German war effort.
There's evidence that GM was aware of and benefited from these operations.

3. Volkswagen (VW) - Founded as a Nazi initiative, VW was intended to produce the "people's car." During the war, it switched to military production and used forced labor from concentration camps.

4. BMW (Bayerische Motoren Werke) - BMW's involvement included producing aircraft engines and motorcycles for the German military. They utilized forced labor from concentration camps, and the Quandt family, major shareholders, were known Nazi supporters.

5. Mercedes-Benz (Daimler-Benz) - Produced vehicles and aircraft engines for the Nazis, with significant use of forced labor. The company was heavily involved in the war economy.

6. Audi - Under the name Auto Union during WWII, Audi collaborated with the SS to use concentration camp inmates for production. They also employed forced labor extensively.

From 2021 to 2024 we witnessed things like RICO charges being levied at protesters fighting against "cop city" in Atlanta, mask bans that lock disabled people out of public life, and young college students facing federal charges for peaceful protests, again, all under Democratic leadership. https://www.usermag.co/p/the-attacks-on-free-speech-should

As an American Jew, let me be clear:
-Criticizing Israel is not being "antisemitic"
-Defending the human rights of Palestinians is not being pro-Hamas
-Arresting someone for these things is a violation of our 1st Amendment
-Violating 1st Amendment rights, and bragging there's more to come, is bad

Texas measles outbreak update: 124 cases, 18 hospitalized, & now the first death of a child, who was not vaccinated.

Tragic, preventable, & a direct consequence of the deadly lies spread by anti-vaxx grifters, one of whom is now the most powerful health official in the US.
