“The Moment We Feared Has Arrived” Protests Against Trump's Aggressive Immigration Raids, and His Militarized Response, Could Easily Spin Out of Control

The Rage of Little Men Performative Masculinity Hurts Society, Just Like Grandiosity and Fear of Vulnerability Harm Personal Relationships

Musk didn’t directly answer the question about his drug abuse, instead denigrating the Times as unreliable, even as his eyes rolled back into his head a few times during the event, looking like a raver who just did a K bump after too much Molly. open.substack.com/pub/steventj...
