"The increase to Musk's wealth since Trump was elected president three months ago is greater than all of the American aid given to Ukraine over the last three years."--Timothy Snyder
HEY EVERYONE REMEMBER WHEN TRUMP WAS IMPEACHED FOR DENYING AID TO UKRAINE BECAUSE HE WANTED ZELENSKY TO LIE AND SAY BAD THINGS ABOUT BIDEN AND ZELENKSY WOULDN’T DO IT? Maybe literally one fucking American newspaper could mention this in their, “think pieces,” about what happened
Hint for Americans: He wasn't a great businessman, it was just a TV show, he wasn't worth billions, he lied about his worth, he is not a great deal maker, a ghost writer wrote the book, he inherited 400 million and lost it all, he bankrupted 6 businesses, he cheated stockholders
The fact the court failed to hear the voice of a single trans person may help explain why today’s decision lacked humanity & fairness & instead replaced them with a narrow definition of the Equality Act. There has to be a better & empathetic way forward that respects trans rights
