A social media post from the Department of Labor is attracting criticism for appearing to echo a Nazi-era slogan from the early 20th century.

The department posted to X on Jan. 10, “One Homeland. One People. One Heritage. Remember who you are, American.”

Dozens of users commented and reposted, expressing alarm and outrage over what they called an alarming echo of what the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum describes as one of the central slogans used by Adolf Hitler and the Nazi Party. That slogan is, “One People, One Realm, One Leader.”

      At what point will people stop being shocked? I’m really not trying to be the annoying “not surprised guy”. But, it’s been just shy of a year since we were watching a Nazi salute from one of our billionaire lords as Trump took office.

      Are we gonna spend another year having surprised Pikachu reactions to every Nazi reference? We have SS troops going door to door. These posts arent rage bait. They are rallying calls.

        I don’t think we’d be surprised if it was one of the obvious departments (DOD, DHS, DHHS, even what’s left of the DOE).

        We just didn’t see the DOL joining in.
