Musk should be asked about this in every interview he does now and forever. To ignore it is a dereliction of duty.

BREAKING: In response to our lawsuit, the National Endowment for the Arts will no longer force grant applicants to certify that they won't promote "gender ideology."
This is a big step toward defeating the NEA's unconstitutional censorship.

Tomorrow, February 28, let’s disrupt the status quo by spending ONLY at businesses that uplift our communities.
That means:
🚫 No gas from corporate giants
🚫 No fast food chains
🚫 No big-box retailers (Target, Walmart, Amazon, etc.)

Remember, if you truly need to buy something tomorrow, shop at local small businesses. Especially BIPOC/women/LGBTQIA+ owned ones!

The first measles death in the US in a decade -- the tragic, preventable death of a child whose parents chose not to protect them with vaccination -- should spark an immediate nation-wide campaign to ensure all children are protected against preventable diseases. Anything less is unconscionable.

The article I just shared is so important…if you don’t see what the big deal is about the attacks against trans people, you are wrong. Period.

A source stationed in Germany has sent me emails showing the principal at a Department of Defense school, Weisbaden Middle, telling teachers they can no longer allow books to be checked out until someone has reviewed them for compliance with Trump’s anti-trans, anti-diversity ex orders.

We still don’t know what it is, but best guess is some plastic bag…they’re going to give him more subq fluids b/c he’s still dehydrated, & we should be able to pick him up later today. We’ll have to keep a close eye on him for the next couple days, but the doctor is very confident he’ll be fine. 2/

And he’s got pockets of gas/liquid in his intestine…
I’ve brought him home, he got more subq fluids and anti-nause meds, he can’t eat after 8pm, then we go back in the morning for more x-rays. If nothing has changed, it’s exploratory surgery time!
To the tune of $4000.

He’s barely eaten (he had a little boiled chicken this morning but still threw up some liquid),but there’s something visible on x-rays, so likely a foreign body but we don’t know what. 2/
