Hyun Sook and I have officially canceled our 4 month trip to the US. We have planned this trip for years, I was about to announce events across the country, and Hyun Sook resigned from the job she loved and held for a decade so she'd be available. But the US is no longer a safe place to travel.

I have two friends, neither of whom are politics reporters but who both work in “the media,” who both told me yesterday that they aren’t even allowed to write or post about Trump with work accounts because describing anything he’s doing objectively would appear “anti-Trump.”

Vivian Wilson reveals on 2025-03-09 that she was sex-selected prenatally by Elon Musk: "My assigned sex at birth was a commodity that was bought and paid for. So when I was feminine as a child and then turned out to be transgender, I was going against the product that was sold." archive.ph/yyKda
