Scared shitless about tomorrow going south but showing up anyway. I have years of experience in crisis de-escalation to draw on as needed. I’m so so proud of everyone else who is scared and showing up anyway. Full fear ahead. 💛 I love you all and stand with you.

Please read, this is important. Sorry it’s long. Trump’s move to have Elon Musk step aside wasn’t a retreat. It was a distraction. With Musk’s name out of the headlines, many assumed the controversial Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) had quietly ended. It hasn’t. It’s just changed hands.
