Canada is sovereign. Mexico is sovereign. Denmark is sovereign. These are not hard concepts. Trump is not the United States. He's a temp worker on a 4 year contract living in subsidized housing. Not a king, an employee. Treat him that way.

WOW. Kristi Noem and Elon Musk, among others, "chose to turn the power of the federal government against a singular employee with an impeccable record of public service. ... The attacks against Ms. Comans were based entirely on false information" and many officials "knew [they] were untrue."

On the *same day* the Cornell Seven drugged and raped Jane Doe, Cornell banned four students (including the President of Cornell JVP) from campus for three years for nonviolent, pro-Palestine protests. The same Cornell officials let the rapists off with apology essays.

Some mark paid $45.47 per coin for Trump's own crypto. $45.47. It's now trading for $1.99 per coin. Down, according to Trump math, by 2289%! (Grade schoolers would say down 95%) Not a solid investment either way. I know that I SHOULD feel sad for them, but I REALLY DON'T CARE, DO U? 🤷‍♀️

Happy Dolly day!
