One of the members of the Danish Resistance held by the Gestapo in the attic of Shellhus in an effort to prevent a raid on the building was Brandt Rehberg. Rehberg was involved in escape lines, shepherding Jews from Copenhagen to neutral Sweden. The effort saved all but 500 of Denmark’s 7,000 - 8,000 Jews from the Nazis. Rehberg was arrested by the Gestapo in early 1945 & was imprisoned at Shellhus, but survived the RAF raid. (3/3)

GOP Senator Slams Republicans for Being “Afraid” of Elon Musk

Senator Lisa Murkowski has some harsh words for her party.
https://newrepublic.com/post/192950/lisa-murkowski-republicans-afraid-elon-musk

"Senator Lisa Murkowski called out the #tech oligarch in a #press conference... She criticized the mass firing of #federal employees and freezing of federal #funding...

She told reporters... that she knows her willingness to criticize #Musk will likely come with #consequences."

I’d like to just point out that sure, we’re fighting a criminal corrupt fascist regime with zero morals or ethics (or empathy, as they’ve self proclaimed), but Canadians are holding the line WHILE ALSO BAKING COOKIES.

The Tesla Backlash Is Biblical

“In the past 3 months something of a car crash happened. #Tesla stock almost inexplicably dropped 50% since December 12th. Fifty percent in 3 months! Below where it was before the #election. Now this number is hard to wrap your head around, but Tesla's #market cap loss its valuation lost in this short period is equivalent to $800 billion."

"Jordan Klepper covers the backlash against #ElonMusk, including town hall rage against his unconfirmed #DOGE position and sweeping #Tesla vandalization. Plus, some advice for the returning #NASA astronauts on how to acclimate to #Trump and Elon’s new world."

Republican Rep. Sparks Fury After Telling Town Hall He Supports Musk

Representative Mike Flood of #Nebraska was booed incessantly at his own town hall.

"This is yet another installment in the string of tense, confrontational #TownHalls that have occurred as #Republicans have to answer for the actions of #Trump & #DOGE—actions that are directly hurting the people who put them in office."

" ElonMusk has pledged about 1/3 of his holdings as collateral for loans... including loans for the purchase of #Twitter. It seems plausible that the lenders will demand additional collateral or even call the loans if the price sinks dramatically.

... If it were selling at the same PE ratio as the information #technology sector... the price would drop from the current $240 to about $75"

And one more word about those Righteous Gentiles. After the Holocaust, psychologists began to study them to figure out what made them courageously agree to hide Jews while the majority went along with tyranny. Maybe they were friends with Jews before the war? Maybe they had spare rooms or extra savings tucked away? Maybe some people just come wired with an altruistic personality?

Nope. The psychologists found that none of these factors made the difference. Instead, as Bregman recounts in his book:
Turns out there was one circumstance that determined almost everything. A new analysis of data … showed that when this condition was met, nearly everyone took action — 96 percent to be precise.

And what was that condition?

Simple: you had to be asked. Those who were asked to help someone in danger almost always said yes.

Asking things of each other and acting together is how we move unjust systems. So go ahead.

Reach out to someone. Ask.

The article quotes author Larissa MacFarquhar, who wrote in her book Strangers Drowning: Impossible Idealism, Drastic Choices, and the Urge to Help:

"In wartime — or in a crisis so devastating that it resembles war, such as an earthquake or a hurricane — duty expands far beyond its peacetime boundaries. In wartime, it’s thought dutiful rather than unnatural to leave your family for the sake of a cause. In wartime, the line between family and strangers grows faint, as the duty to one’s own enlarges to encompass all the people who are on the same side…

This is the difference between do-gooders and ordinary people: for do-gooders, it is always wartime. They always feel themselves responsible for strangers — they always feel that strangers, like compatriots in war, are their own people."

@GottaLaff I feel like the #resistance is growing.
