Historian of fascism here. It was a Nazi salute and a very belligerent one too.
The Nazis think this was a Nazi salute, but, hey, what would they know?

blue sky has a tattoo historian!
So, this guy obviously doesn't have MS13 on his knuckles. What an absurd claim! But as a tattoo historian, I can say: even if he did, it's all absolutely no evidence that he's affiliated with the gang anyway. Tattooing a Nike logo on you doesn't mean you make shoes.
Trump just posted a photo of himself holding up a piece of paper claiming to show tattoos on Kilmar Abrego Garcia that are related to MS-13. The paper he’s holding up has been digitally altered to add the characters MS-13.
The claim comes from neo-Nazis on X who say the tattoos cover up “MS-13.”

TPM’s @hunterw.bsky.social makes a convincing case - citing experts - that we should be referring to CECOT as a “concentration camp,” “penal colony,” or “permanent prison camp.”
Based on its features (no due process, indefinite detention) he says: “President Trump is sending people to the camps.”

This is an absolutely insane thing for Macron to say. There is no Judeo-Christian foundation of Europe. All the European Christians ever did with Jews is oppress them. Islam was far more important in building Europe, but we know why Macron and his ilk won't acknowledge that.
I really find this formulation continually jarring. Does Macron understand many Jews were enclosed in ghettoes, had professions closed to them and no civil rights in a lot of continental Europe into the 19th century? That's just the legal stuff too. share.google/Bk0GXn4JIM4K...

Hi, vernacular architectural historian here! So what’s happened here is basically yeah that’s a gate to hell
Found this gate in York. It had a standard lock, plus a padlock and a chain holding it shut. It was very very securely closed. The only thing on the other side is a blank wall. The only conclusion I can make is that this is a magic portal to hell.
