Mexicans will set up in comfortable lawn furniture on the other side of the border fence, slowly eating avocados and strawberries and loudly remarking how delicious they are.
Biggest open question to me right now is Mexico's response. Canadians have already laid out detailed retaliatory tariffs, and while the Chinese haven't we generally know how they retaliate to tariffs from the first trade war (they nuke farmers). Mexico has a plan but has been secretive about it.

For those who are considering ending your life -for any reason at all- please do not do it. The financial gain for your family, if any, is not what fam needs, m’friends. They need YOU. We do, too! Please keep the hope alive even if it’s tiny… it’s there! Stay with us, friends. ❤️🐮

Swift parrot dad feeding his kids - when they get about three weeks old the chicks can walk to the entrance of their nest and poke their heads out to beg for food when they hear their parents. This is the age when they're easiest to find because they're so loud!🦜

Welcome to the resistance! Over 1 million brave souls have answered the call this week. The Empire—Trump’s administration and Musk—may believe its grip is unbreakable, but every day, more join our ranks. We’ve always known—tomorrow, there will be more of us.

Due to the freeze on credit card use, my laboratory (in the FDA) risks losing the contents of our liquid nitrogen tanks which store INVALUABLE samples-they cannot be replaced, so they are literally priceless, and reflect about 50 years worth of research.

An EEOC admin. judge sent a fiery all-department email this AM alleging:
1. Trump's exec orders & instructions to target private citizens with them are illegal.
2. the judge had sent an earlier email with a similar tone yesterday that later vanished from their sent folder & colleagues' inboxes.

Giving access to SSNs, other data on government employees to non-employees like Musk is a violation of 5 USC 552a, and carries with it a penalty of $1000 per person whose data was accessed. We are building a case. Govt employees who want to participate should contact me directly

Without public knowledge, Elon Musk is serving as a “special government employee” under President Donald Trump, with access to sensitive information (including your SSN) and broad authority granted by Trump.

At OPM, Musk’s staffers won’t leave—they work around the clock and have even installed sofa beds in the office. Our access to data systems has been restricted, raising serious concerns about cybersecurity and a complete lack of oversight. We are keeping our heads down and documenting everything.

I built a tool to help protect text against surveillance and fingerprinting.

It detects hidden markers, special characters, and patterns that could be used to track the writer.
Please share: We’ve received word that Elon Musk’s staffers are using space characters to identify information leakers. Before sharing any information, please use a checker to detect and remove these.

Having watched with growing alarm the developments of the last 24 and 36 hours in Washington, I thought I’d take a stab at how the US media would cover this story if it was happening in a foreign country. Here’s that story that should be written this weekend: www.doomsdayscenario.co/p/musk-s-jun...

While experts say a human pandemic isn’t inevitable, recent developments suggest it’s no longer a remote possibility; meanwhile, the Trump administration has ordered federal health agencies to pause public communications.
As bird flu continues to spread, the CDC is on a communications blackout
New cases aren’t being reported at the federal level, leaving researchers in the dark.

Montgomery County Public Schools comes out and tells Trump to pound sand with his EO telling schools that they have to discriminate against transgender students.

This is how you refuse to comply.

This is pretty disturbing and a bad sign for what we can expect from the IRS. #TaxSky
Sections of the IRS’s Internal Revenue Manual outlining its policies and procedures have disappeared from its website, alarming some tax professionals.
