The Worst Boss in History (Elon Musk) sent out an end-of-week email to all federal employees where he demanded that they list five accomplishments from last week and not everybody went along.
In that spirit, I thought I’d help out the Trump/Elon two-headed fascist monster that is currently destroying our country by submitting their work report for the last week. Here are five things that American fascists accomplished last week:
1. They added to the growing examples of prominent Trump supporters doing Nazi salutes
Running thread of people trying to normalize the sieg heil. It's not an "Elon gesture", it's not autism, it's not your heart going out, it's not parody or trolling. It's fucking despicable. Don't ever let this shit become normal. Fuck any excuse given, there is none. Zero tolerance. 1. Elon Musk

Of course, a few of them were done at the Lollapalooza for Right Wingers, the Conservative Political Action Committee (CPAC), which at this point should change the first letter to an F or an N.
2. The Department of Justice threatened with charges a Democratic Congressman who called Elon Musk a dick. Which, if they are going to charge everyone who has called Elmo a dick, well, better build more jails. Besides, if you want threatening rhetoric, look no further than Margie Taylor-Greene. Did the Biden DOJ threaten to jail her? Threatening political opponents with jail time for speech issues is pretty fascist.
3. Fired the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff AND the Chief Naval Officer AND all the top JAGs. The first two are bad enough, as the Chair was a Black man and the CNO was a woman. Not anymore, of course, they did what they always do in the last month, insert mediocre white guys.
Last night's Pentagon massacre is much more than realized. Not just firing the black CJCS and first woman CNO but all the senior JAG officers and hiring a man who just joined 3 different crypto firms tied to Kushner and Thiel as Chairman. I did a deep dive into it open.substack.com/pub/fpwellma…

But the firing of the top JAGs is alarming stuff, shit that despots do when they are planning on ordering the military to do something illegal. We’re way past “such a thing can’t happen in America” so the only question is what form might that illegal act take?
4. Men in Black (not the alien kind) drag a woman out of a town hall for exercising her freedom of speech. This is right out of the SS handbook.

As noted, some in the audience cheered this.
5. Trump got the ball rolling about having a third term.
TRUMP: Should I run again? You tell me.CROWD: Four more years! Four more years!
Okay, sure, you say, he always does this dumb shit. I agree. But on the other hand, there are various ways he could try for a third term.
The thing about the legal world, if you are skilled enough you can make an argument that a stop sign means you don’t really have to stop because that’s not what it means. The constitution says this: “No person shall be elected to the office of the President more than twice[.]”
Or does it really say that, many people are saying, including a federal judge.
So, fascists have been busy bees. The good news is that Americans are increasingly unhappy about it.
The last word goes to Billy Bragg and Wilco:
Well, of coarse they’re Firing all the Women and Minorities… and inserting Mediocre White Guys with zero experience and even less knowledge about any of the Positions they’re holding. The JAG Firings mean the Military will be turned against the American People, not a matter of if, just when…
