International Holocaust Remembrance Day
Please, take a moment of silence today in remembrance of those who lost their lives because of an evil man who saw them as inferior beings. We must never let this happen again to anyone.

International Holocaust Remembrance Day is a moment to honor the lives of the millions of Jews and all victims murdered during the Holocaust.
And remember our moral obligation to speak against hatred, especially as we see a surge in hate crimes and antisemitism.
Never again.
The Lincoln Project released the following statement regarding every American’s responsibility on International Holocaust Remembrance Day.
TOO OBSCURE TO MATTER
Here’s a picture and ad for the Volksempfänger (“people’s receiver”), developed under orders from Joseph Goebbels. At a time when radios were a semi-luxury, the low cost unit was specifically engineered to receive Reich propaganda.
Mary L Trump @MaryLTrump
I confess I often harbor negative feelings toward those on the right. Sometimes I fail to be compassionate or empathetic. I would point out though that while I want to have universal health care, child care, and a living wage, they want me and those like me dead.

ELON MUSK HATES JEWS
Say you hate Jews without saying you hate Jews
Elon Musk has Tweeted 88 (white supremacist code for Heil Hitler) to which they replied with 14 (code for their 14 Words), trotted out the Jewish Puppet Master trope, and then posted a wink to anti-Semites with a cartoon similar to the one they use, in reference to Vindman.

Free speech or free hate?
Is @elonmusk so desperate for traffic that he’s inviting back a Jew hater and white supremacist on @Twitter to spread his poison? @NickJFuentes The Hill
Nick Fuentes on @TwitterSpaces “Yeah, we love Hitler!” @elonmusk
Antisemitic attackers cited rapper Ye, who tweeted virulently anti-Jewish sentiments after Elon Musk welcomed him back. WP
Congrats @elonmusk for figuring out how to both lose billions and create the conditions for more online hate+real world violence. Win win.
Elon never built anything in his entire life, he bought it.
Elon Musk is not an engineer. He didn’t make the Tesla motor. He Bought it. He didn’t design the Space X rocket. He bought it. He didn’t build Twitter. He broke it.
The @Twitter account of white supremacist and Holocaust denier Nick Fuentes has been reinstated. He’s already spreading hate.
With antisemitism at an all-time high, the last thing we need is another antisemite being given a massive platform to spread Jew hatred.
Hateful remarks against LGBTQ+ people and Jews have become more common on Twitter since Elon Musk took over.
@TwitterGov in case you need a reminder, Hitler was responsible for the genocidal murder of 6 million Jews. This is hate speech.
You thought eugenics was over with. No that isn’t true.
The future will be entirely shaped by the whims and wants of the 1%.

Elon Musk’s Twitter hit with holocaust denial hate speech lawsuit in Germany
Pretty amazing how Europe is doing a wonderful job at protecting Jews online in comparison to the job done in America
Elon didn’t buy Twitter to build it, he bought it to DESTROY IT.
For himself? Doubtful. For who then?
Hey, remember when Elon put forward Putin’s “peace plan”?
Musk’s Twitter Buy Makes No Sense — Unless It’s Part of Something Bigger
Brexit & Trump were initially seen as jokes, but the new owner of the social media giant could pose a serious threat to democracy, and a boon for Vladimir Putin, says @davetroy

Anti Semite Elon Musk”
Literally the first thing @elonmusk tweeted after taking over Twitter was to push a vile bigoted homophobic conspiracy theory about Paul Pelosi’s attack. Attack footage just released dispels all of it. He might be incapable of shame.

“A spokesperson for the Real Facebook Oversight Board…issued a statement describing Meta’s decision as a ‘calamitously irresponsible’ one that ‘will only serve to spread the Big Lie and drive hate and disinformation.’”
