I want to spell out the basic reason it’s so dangerous for Elon to have control of the U.S. payments system. It may seem like a technical matter, but the dynamics are simple. 1/x

POTUS is shutting the US government down, except for immigration enforcement and military activities.
That’s the story. He’s shutting the whole government down. He’s closing up every aspect of the United States operation, except the parts with guns.

Never forget for many people lockdowns NEVER ended. We’re still isolated - only now we’re shunned and mocked and told it’s a “choice”.
When you are trying to maintain a baseline and no one will make public spaces safe for you - it’s not a choice
We’ve been excluded & forgotten.
Wear a mask.

This follows the National Institutes of Health canceling its grant review panels earlier.
