Terrorist Trump uniting South Korea, Japan and China to economically fight Grandpa Stupids trade tariffs is historic in that it got thousand year-old enemies to team up overnight against us. 🤣 They literally make all of our electronic products, our economy is now screwed. 🤷 📉

The Chinese made electric car BYD would cost only $10k in the US if not for stupid tariffs. 😡 They are soon releasing a new fast charge system that takes just 5 minutes. Teslas are dinosaurs 🦕 that are poorly designed and overpriced. Nobody wants a car produced by a pedophile Nazi. 🤷

Martial Law. It’s the elephant in the room. It’s what authoritarians resort to when the tide turns against them. It’s what the authoritarian in this White House is setting the stage for. 🧵…

Many are saying that it sucks to be Elise Stefanik today. I’d argue that it sucks to be Elise Stefanik every day.

Disability is not a moral failing. It’s not a punishment. It’s simply part of being human. If you live long enough, you will likely experience some kind of disability. It’s one of the only minority groups you can join at any time. Stop treating us as less than & help us combat ableism!

Therapy horse of the day is Whiskey. He is a Haflinger , a breed originally from Austria. He always looks like a surfer dude. He excels at working with physical and occupational therapy clients.
A lovely tan colored horse with a wide white blaze on his face, and a blonde forelock. He is wearing a brown halter and looking off into the distance. The same tan colored horse with a wide white blaze on his face, and a blonde forelock and mane, is standing in the cross ties with his nose wrinkled up and his tongue out, like the 😛 emoji

I am currently writing up a paper I am giving in a few months. It's about the female experience in Glamorgan County Lunatic Asylum. I've just rediscovered a woman who stole an attendant's clothes, escaped by jumping the fence, and was never seen again. I hope she had a good life 🙏

Thinking about when I saw RENT at the Mark Taper Forum in Los Angeles in 1998 with Neil Patrick Harris as Mark and Wilson Cruz as Angel and then over 20 years later I met Cruz at a convention and burst into tears. Art matters.

Did you know David Gilmour once sold his £3 million London mansion and donated every penny to a homeless charity called Crisis? He said, "I don't need all this luxury while others are fighting for a roof." No media catwalk, no rockstar egos-just pure generosity. He quietly changed lives❤️

A sliver of good news: About $250 billion of the roughly $300 billion in frozen Russian assets are not in American banks. This money could be released to Ukraine by the European Union, Canada, Britain, Australia, Japan and Singapore—and circumvent Trump’s betrayal. www.nytimes.com/2025/03/04/b...
