So George Soros dumped all of his Tesla stock, and the first thing Elon Musk does is start whining and boosting the posts of other white nationalists.

Weird how Elon Musk, the white South African billionaire who got his start from exploitative emerald mines, keeps amplifying the tweets of antisemites and anti-Black racists, huh?

Anyway, one thing that enduring Donald Trump for four years has taught me: whenever Elon starts making waves on Twitter, we should always start looking for whatever it is that he’s really trying to distract us from.

For example:

The U.S. territory asked Manhattan federal court Judge Jed Rakoff in the filing to allow it to serve Musk with the subpoena with Tesla’s registered agent.

That subpoena demands Musk turn over any documents showing communication involving him, JPMorgan and Epstein, as well as “all Documents reflecting or regarding Epstein’s involvement in human trafficking and/or his procurement of girls or women for consensual sex.”

Thinking about things we think are American that are Mexican and vice versa.

Like, I had a Mexican-American professor who would bitch up and down about how flour tortillas are a terrible American invention, but they actually come from northern Mexico. His family was from central Mexico, thus the confusion.

Meanwhile the concept of the masked wrestler began in Los Angeles and then caught on big in Mexico.

The truth is that there’s just that huge borderland (northern mexico and southwest US) both countries share that’s kinda its own thing!

Photos of trans women and femmes in NYC from 1930-1940 by street photographer Weegee and colorized by doctoral candidate Eli Erlick in UC Santa Barbara . Go check out the thread!

On Weegee:

“Weegee also frequently shot [trans people] picked up by the police. “At the time, these were staples of the tabloids, and I’m sure they were not received warmly,” says Bonanos. “They were probably look-at-this-freak pictures. When he makes them, though, they’re not cruel.” Such pictures speak to Weegee’s compassion for underworld characters, a group he clearly had empathy for. “One gets the sense that he, at least in the photographs, had an attitude of, ‘Ah, let them do whatever they’re going to do.’. He was not a person who was overtly political. But I think he had that streak of – as the expression goes –  comforting the afflicted and afflicting the comfortable,” he adds, explaining Weegee’s approach to shooting different classes. ”
