Is this true? Did we pay for it?
A sitting US president posted this, yes it was Trump. He wants trans belly dancers and to frolic shirtless on a beach with Netanyahu. The whole thing is odd, even for MAGA

Economic disparity was always theoretically headed to this extreme, it's just amazing it literally came down to the actual richest man on earth versus everyone else, the most extreme it could possibly get. We're living in an XKCD diagram.

We have been careful to avoid using the word coup, but it’s time to call it what it is—this is a coup. Trump signed an executive order granting only the attorney general or the president the authority to interpret laws executed by the executive branch.

For a dozen years I was a professional minister in a Big Box denomination. I got ousted for being pro-trans, but a few years later they became affirming. Lots of ministers who stood silent are now posing with rainbow flags, now that it’s safe. 1/?

Letters went out to federal workers this morning stating they were fired due to poor performance. However, all employees had been rated as “exceptional” performers by their supervisors. Please keep these records and pursue wrongful termination claims. Let the lawsuits begin.

This period under Musk/Trump feels like early February in 2020—when a terrible thing was happening with breakneck speed, and the people paying close attention were hair-on-fire about it while the rest of the country carried on as normal.

The fact that you see how wrong this all is, means your faculties are intact, your mind is fully right, and your heart is working properly; you still have a soul doing what souls are supposed to do: keep you deeply human in profoundly inhumane times.

The thing about being bad at math is that I waited so long before having kids without considering what that would mean. It didn’t even occur to me that when they’re in college I’ll be 317.
