Those were Nazi salutes.

Billionaire Elon Musk gave what appeared to be a fascist salute Monday while making a speech at the post-inauguration celebration for President Donald Trump at the Capital One Arena. “Some elections are important, some are not. But this one, this one really mattered and I just want to say thank you for making it happen,” Musk said before putting his hand on his chest and then raising it in a salute that appeared similar to the “Sieg Heil” used by Nazis at their victory rallies. “It is thanks to you that the future of civilization is assured," Musk said. Trump named Musk and entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy to lead the "Department of Government Efficiency," an outside commission aimed at identifying federal programs and spending to cut. After Trump was sworn in, multiple lawsuits were filed against the Trump administration claiming that the move violates federal transparency laws.

National Post complains in an editorial that the CBC is "pilfering an estimated $7 million a year from the $100 million that Google agreed to pay Canadian news publishers" . . . worse, it is spending that money on news PressReader.com | CBC exploits its unfair advant­age

@jawilliamsUCLA @alyssaegoldberg Also - “Neutered" is “gendered dog whistle." It perpetuates the patriarchy, gender traditionalism and anti-LGBTQ+ rhetoric.

The police department alleges the "data is missing context"... #yyj

Can’t wait to ask my students about the TikTok ban. For many of them it’s the only medium they’ve ever received news from. It’s like the Supreme Court is shutting down the New York Times for GenZ.

Setting the record straight on police in schools "The debate on police in schools has been muddied by misinformation and misunderstandings, fear mongering and tenuous claims about the relationship between the program and children’s safety." #yyj #yyjpoli timescolonist.com/opinion/commen…

Very good thread which clarifies that 2020 Dem victory rested on harnessing antisystem voters, who stayed home in 2024.
