Very good piece.
There is little to no holistic evidence that Republicans’ Nazi problem is tethered to age. Yes, it’s more likely that a younger person who’s terminally online will post imagery to be provocative, but they’re simply reflecting the values modeled by the Republicans who came before them and for whom they’re now working. Project 2025 and its mirroring of Nazi Germany values, like drastically reducing immigration and persecuting people who aren’t white, wasn’t brewed in a frat house; no, it was dreamed up by grown-ass adults who were forged in the hellfires of the Richard Nixon and Ronald Reagan and Presidents Bush and now Donald Trump administrations, and whose embers landed at the Heritage Foundation.

👀 Court says it appears that Elon Musk has abandoned the trademark for "tweet" (but not "twitter"). storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us... So tweet freely on other platforms.
Because Bluebird is likely to succeed in proving both that X Corp.
discontinued the bona fide use of the Tweet mark and Bird logo and that it intends
not to resume the use of the marks, it is likely to strictly prove abandonment of those marks. It follows that X Corp. is not likely to succeed on the merits of its
trademark infringement and dilution claims with respect to those marks. That
conclusion ends the inquiry with respect to those marks, and I will deny X Corp.' s
motion insofar as it seeks an order enjoining Bluebird from using those marks. See
Nichino Am., 44 F .4th at 185 ("If a court finds no likelihood of success on the
merits, the inquiry ends and the injunction will be denied.").
