A must-read. This’d be worth creating a Facebook account just to read—and I know what a claim that is to make.

It’s a bracing essay about Elon Musk by someone very close to him.

Mexico’s president does not bow down. Rather she speaks piercing truth. Tariffs on Mexico will not stop Americans abusing (or trafficking) drugs & tariff threats won’t either. Trade wars will cause inflation & hurt Americans & Mexicans. newrepublic.com/post/188829/...

Let them (those voting MAGA) eat tariffs…and the inflation it brings. Yes we will all suffer but those voting for him knew he was imposing tariffs & did it anyway. Maybe next time they’ll be more informed & google meanings of words before the election not after. youtu.be/DUj6PDPKvww?...

The guy spend a chunk of his childhood in an internment camp because our government thought he might be dangerous because he was of Japanese descent. He was also gay when you were forced to hide it. It’s been much worse for a lot of people in our history. George knows what he’s talking about.

Tonight I found myself calling out to my beautiful Rylie who, after a brief illness, passed away quite quickly last month. She was at home, surrounded by my girls when she died. I still feel like she is here with me and yet I miss her so terribly. She was an incredible loving and faithful dog. 💔
