The public release of a Young Republican group chat that included racist language, jokes about rape and flippant commentary on gas chambers has prompted bipartisan calls for those involved to be removed from or resign their positions. Vice President JD Vance, meanwhile, has criticized the backlash, labeling it "pearl clutching." Vance compared the dustup to past violent comments by a Democratic candidate In Virginia, arguing that Jay Jones' remarks concerning political violence were worse. Other Republicans, like Vermont's Gov. Phil Scott, are demanding resignations, calling the comments "unacceptable." Democrats, including California Gov. Gavin Newsom, have urged investigations, condemning the messages as discriminatory.
So I just unsubscribed from the #RSS feed of The Autopian, a car blog I'd sortof enjoyed, though its America-centric nature meant it often had laughably bad takes (suggesting America made good cars, Tesla fanboyism), but in a post yesterday they described #ElonMusk "furiously and awkwardly waving at people".
I #Denounce The Autopian as Collaborators. Collaborators with Literal NAZIs.

California Gov. Gavin Newsom said today he supports President Biden’s call for a ceasefire in Gaza, citing the “ongoing and horrific loss of innocent civilian life.”
“I support President Biden’s call for an #immediate #ceasefire as part of a deal to secure desperately needed relief for #Gazan #civilians and the release of #hostages,” he wrote in a letter addressed to California’s #Muslim, #Palestinian #American, and #Arab #American communities.
“I also unequivocally #denounce #Hamas’s terrorist attack against Israel. It is time to work in earnest toward an #enduring #peace that will furnish the lasting security, autonomy, and freedom that the Palestinians and the Israeli people both deserve.”
Newsom’s statement comes one day before the U.S. plans to ask the U.N. Security Council to back a ceasefire resolution, and follows other leaders shifting to more forceful calls for #Israel to change its conduct of the war.
On March 3, Vice President #Kamala #Harris, the former U.S. senator from California, called for an immediate, but temporary ceasefire — the strongest statement from the Biden administration to that point.
Following his State of the Union address on March 7, when he announced a new effort to bring in humanitarian aid by sea, #President #Biden called for a six-week ceasefire and a hostage-prisoner exchange.
And in a call with Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu this week, the president expressed concerns about the civilian death toll and Israel’s blockade of aid delivery, according to a White House summary
