From my friend Dr. Thanh Huynh Neville: "Elon didn't realize it, but he has encouraged the development of the TRANS car: born a Tesla but identifies as something else."

If you can help us, now is a very good time to do it. We need to extract some folks very, very quickly. We need to raise 2000 we don't have in order to do it. We are under attack.
Please spread this, we don't have much reach.

Good news: "FEMA must "immediately comply" with an order to disburse federal funding to 22 states and Washington, D.C., a federal judge ruled.
Judge McConnell finds the agency's "manual review" of grant payments violates his injunction."

Dear American friends:
I hope that I don't see toots from any of you tomorrow until late evening, because you will all be participating in the protest nearest your community for the day - and either left your phone at home, or turned it off until after you left the protest area.
The time to participate is tomorrow. Your fellow citizens need you, and there may never be a better chance to have your voices heard as one.
Love,
Your Canadian friend.

Our top story, from Josephine Lee: Attorneys at the Department of Education say that #Trump's cuts to the agency have left them “hamstrung” and unable to pursue civil rights cases, including a shocking incident of police brutality in a Gulf Coast school. https://www.texasobserver.org/beaumont-pepper-spray-school-department-education/

Yes & thank you.
#Tesla stock extended losses Mon, dropping below a price at which #Trump Commerce Secy #HowardLutnick predicted they’d never fall to again.
The shares plunged as much as 9.2% to $217.41 as of 9:41AM in NY, amid a broader selloff in global equity markets. Lutnick totally unethically said during a FauxNews interview on March 19—when Tesla closed at $235.86—that viewers should buy the stock, saying “it’ll never be this cheap again.”

You might have seen a post being shared around saying Canada has opened up its suicide hotline to American citizens with Trump threatening a shutdown of ours in the US.
The number it links to is the Trans Helpline. This is likely a right wing attempt to try to flood and overwhelm the hotline and hurt trans people.
Please be careful and check on this before you share them. And if you see an account for a Jeras Ikehorn which seems to be bridged here from Bluesky, know this is the second time in several weeks they have blatantly shared misinformation that harms trans people.

Trump has directed the Department of Justice to stop pursuing crypto fraud, dismantling the National Cryptocurrency Enforcement Team and ordering the Market Integrity and Major Frauds Unit to cease cryptocurrency enforcement.
I just saw Mark Elias' tariff theory. It is a far darker idea than tariffs as sales tax to replace income tax.
His idea is that it is just a Grand Corruption Machine. It is designed such that leaders from business, US states and other countries have to go to Trump and beg for relief from the tariffs that apply to them. The begging involves making Trump richer.
The idea that trillions of dollars are being wiped from the stock exchanges, a severe recession seems imminent, inflation is spiking and the entire world order is being upset so that Trump can play at being king of the world and get some kickbacks does seem like a very Trumpian plan.

Reading the news.
Canada owns $350 billion in U.S. treasury bonds; Japan, one trillion; the EU, $1.5.
Canada threatened to sell, and the EU. These loans, and others, ($8.5T) bankroll the US. No wonder the President backed down.
In December 2024, China held $759 billion in US Treasury stock. So, between the authoritarian and the wannabe, who has more to loose, and who has more power over their economy?
A proper economist might make it more complicated, but you know where my bet goes.
3 days ago this was at 2,011 disappeared. Now it is at 2,929.
