She's disgusting.
Normalizing racism was a major goal of the “free speech absolutist” movement and they’ve been wildly successful at their work.
This probably would've been a career-defining bit of racism for any politician in a previous era

Musk is double-minded and unstable in all his ways. He cannot be trusted to tell the truth.
This is all lies. Reporting has made clear that
- Food and health spending is still paused, or contracts have been cancelled entirely (e.g. Ready-to-use therapeutic food for starving children)
- Money owed for work done during Biden still hasn't gone out
- Musk's people are the blockers

The Trump-Vance-Musk regime is not only undermining democracy in the US.
It is laying the foundation for undermining democracies around the world.
The emerging battle will be global democracy vs. a global oligarchy.

It took seeing adult bullies to understand that my childhood bullies didn’t even really want to hurt me, they just wanted to feel powerful and how I felt about it wasn’t even in the equation.
I can’t imagine someone not outgrowing that, but apparently it happens quite a lot!

I can't think of a faster way to undermine the country than simultaneously firing government workers, cutting scientific research, rolling back protections on public health & environment, & cutting essential services. It's like the US was defeated in war and is being occupied by a hostile enemy.

Pope Francis, who’s currently in the hospital in critical condition, shared a prewritten statement for a mass service today.
He called out Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, saying it is “a painful and shameful occasion for the whole of humanity.”
Nailed it.
