Summary
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez criticized Elon Musk after he made a gesture during Trump’s inauguration resembling a Nazi salute.
Musk and his allies dismissed the comparison, calling such accusations exaggerated.
Ocasio-Cortez, however, called the gesture unacceptable, emphasizing America’s history of opposing Nazis and the Confederacy.
She also condemned the Anti-Defamation League for defending Musk, accusing it of losing credibility.
Her comments sparked broader debate on symbols, gestures, and their implications amid Trump’s return to office.
Yeah. I’m a fucking American. A real American who takes pride in national heroes like the Abraham Lincoln Brigade and many others who fought and died opposing fascism
Also for anyone interested in very left wing very American media, there’s a podcast called “Alice Isn’t Dead” that’s basically a radio show of a woman driving a truck looking for her missing wife, filled with musings on America and it’s nature. It’s by the nightvale people and it’s good enough that I have less radicalized friends that enjoy it
