Why Won’t the US Corporate Media Call a Nazi Salute a Nazi Salute? (www.commondreams.org)

The mainstream press failed to accurately describe the hand gesture that Elon Musk made twice at Trump’s Inauguration Day rally, setting a troubling precedent for the second Trump era.

There's no getting out, what happens in America affects the rest of the world too.

Nazis have the federal government in a chokehold but there's a lot of resistance at local and municipal levels. I'm just mid level management but after Trump's announcement on "two genders" I immediately let my trans and nonbinary employees know that they would continue to be seen and respected and validated at work regardless of what the white house says.

The worst I fear is still the issue of global warming, it's already bad and the white house is locking in on releasing all the CO2 it can - and the entire globe will suffer for it.

Unfortunately the globe is already done for.

I have zero faith that humans will stop global warming.
