Just saw the headline "Elon Musk accused of making what appeared to be fascist salute" from CBC. Is mainstream journalism too cowardly to call a straight up, broad daylight nazi salute for what it is now? How can you still be in denial about it?

Musk: Does a Nazi salute, twice

Neo-Nazis: Those were Nazi salutes!
Holocaust Scholars: Those were definitely Nazi salutes!
Literally Everyone Who Saw It: WTF those were Nazi salutes!

ADL: What awkward gestures.¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Anyways the real antisemitism is believing Palestinians should have a State

Trump has mobilized his violent cult to muzzle people who once would have challenged his contempt for law and basic decency.

Big Journalism, for whatever reason, doesn't think this is much of a story.

That's why we need outlets like Talking Points Memo.

Public Menace: How Trump Mobilizes the Violent Extremists in His Midst for Political Ends

TPM Reader DB pressed me yesterday to connect the dots. Because of JD Vance's racist incitements to violence, now joined by Donald Trump, immigrants from Haiti in Springfield, Ohio…

TPM – Talking Points Memo
I'm glad that Trump's comments about his supporters not needing to vote anymore after this election are getting so much pickup today, and want to add that this line wasn't a one off -- he's said it repeatedly during his recent speeches

There is no question about it: Alito, Thomas, Roberts, and the three Trump Supreme Court appointees are all GOP partisan hacks.

Pass term limits. Expand the court. Enact an enforceable code of ethics.

We must keep pushing Democrats to enact court reform. No more excuses.

Let's get something straight:

If any party has violated democratic norms, it’s Trump's MAGA Republican party — most of whose members of Congress still support Trump’s big lie that the 2020 election was stolen from him and who voted against certifying the results.

Hello?

No president of America has ever given birth - I don’t understand why it’s suddenly an issue

Trump is now the oldest POTUS candidate ever nominated by a major party.

He has repeatedly confused Biden with Obama and Nikki Haley with Nancy Pelosi. He fell asleep at his criminal trial.

Will the media scrutinize his age & mental decline with the fervor it focused on Biden?

Journalists who remain on Twitter at this point will be remembered for their capitulation to the forces that are working to end democracy, and by extension freedom of expression. https://mashable.com/article/elon-musk-x-twitter-pro-trump-custom-hashtag-icon
Elon Musk's X adds pro-Trump icons for Trump hashtags

The move comes after Musk publicly endorsed Trump

Mashable

CNN is talking about how “the GOP tone has changed towards unity” and I’m going to scream.

This is the Project 2025 party hell bent on purging anyone not a devout Trump sycophant. Their idea of “unity” is capitulation to MAGA extremism. Rather than calling that out, or calling out the history of Trump inciting political violence, or even acknowledging this is lip service—CNN keeps talking about the changed tone of unity. 😐

Legacy media continues to fail Americans.
