I think she's genuinely terrified, and not for her political life. She- or her family- has been threatened with grievous harm. This is the simple explanation and she's not alone in that sinking boat.

Surely, SURELY sending out a public statement like this on social media must be a violation of national security interests, yes?

As a family who purchased a Tesla in 2021, we're in a horrible bind. We can't give the damn thing away, can't afford to buy a new car, and are embarrassed to own it. What can the Board do when Musk is majority shareholder- other than pressure him? He's killing a fine company.

Yup. Took a peek at Fox News online and you wouldn't believe the justifications over there in the comments. "Temporary pain for longterm gain" and "It's going to take some time to fix what Biden's broken economy."

Why on earth should Zelensky apologize?! Trump and Vance made a mockery of U.S./European relations. Ukraine is an ally, for god's sake.

Just spent 4 intense writing workshop days with this incredible man. My head is spinning with new ideas, inspiration, deeper insights. Today I rest, as advised, but tomorrow it's back to the page.

I understand that.

Karen Multer @karenmulter.bsky.social · Dec 29

My apologies. I thought this was a public forum for discussion.

Karen Multer @karenmulter.bsky.social · Dec 28

It’s not that easy. The homeless shelter at the end of my street currently has over 500 beds available, yet there are 8 unhoused people in tents directly in front who refuse to use its services. They don’t want to abide by curfews or rules.

Karen Multer @karenmulter.bsky.social · Dec 22

This is fantastic. Are you the artist?

Karen Multer @karenmulter.bsky.social · Dec 22

Respectfully, I disagree. Our family income puts us in a very comfortable place admittedly, but our little company has employed hundreds of vendors over the years with ethics and high wages. We love these people. We've worked very, very hard and yes, we've also been lucky along the way.

Karen Multer @karenmulter.bsky.social · Dec 22

Nah. He'll have a lot of protection in jail, both from the prison population and the guards.

Karen Multer @karenmulter.bsky.social · Dec 18

I haven't worn anything to bed in 35 years. Can't stand being confined!

Karen Multer @karenmulter.bsky.social · Dec 15

If you don't like people to disagree with you head on back to X.

I'm center left myself, as is our entire circle of friends. Small sample size, admittedly, but I don't know a single person who wouldn't convict Mangione of murder.

Karen Multer @karenmulter.bsky.social · Dec 15

The Law deals in specificity. The macro viewpoint is irrelevant. He murdered a man who’d done him no personal harm. Social media is not the real world- Luigi’s support comes from the very far left of the party. Those folks won’t be on the jury.
