Yes & thank you.
#Tesla stock extended losses Mon, dropping below a price at which #Trump Commerce Secy #HowardLutnick predicted they’d never fall to again.
The shares plunged as much as 9.2% to $217.41 as of 9:41AM in NY, amid a broader selloff in global equity markets. Lutnick totally unethically said during a FauxNews interview on March 19—when Tesla closed at $235.86—that viewers should buy the stock, saying “it’ll never be this cheap again.”

"The billionaire #Ackman, a staunch Trump supporter, put the market's fears about the fate of the global economy in the starkest terms possible.
What they're saying: "The President has an opportunity on Monday to call a time out and have the time to execute on fixing an unfair tariff system. Alternatively, we are 👉heading for a self-induced, economic nuclear winter, and we should start hunkering down👈," Ackman wrote in a lengthy post to X."
This Australian commentator gets it:

“The American age is coming to an end after 80 years and nine months and will be replaced by something that may be better.”
“ Perhaps Liberation Day can be seen as the world being liberated from America.”

America is having a break with reality on tariffs. The world will move on to a new order
The Australian government after May 3 will no doubt want to try to negotiate with the Trump administration about our 10 per cent tariff, but they might be better off to just work around it and move on.Alan Kohler (ABC News)

James Carville Reveals New Way to Shame Trump ‘Collaborators’
The Democratic strategist warned that history won’t be kind to those complicit in the president’s “anti-patriotic” power grab.Barry Levitt (The Daily Beast)

Like I said, a lot in common with #SocialDarwinism in this respect.
Giving little or no value to "unworthy lives" is very much in line with #Fascism, in particular of the type practiced by the #ThirdReich.
Ad extremis, some important #Longtermists would even go as far as annihilating 3 billion people to achieve the end of making humanity a "multi-planetary species:" 3)
What we are seeing is just the beginning.

Alas, for this iteration of #fascism, #Longtermism, part of the #TESCREAL group 1), it does make twisted sense: "loosers' lives are not worth keeping.
"Feeding the poor," or "vaccinating the masses" cost huge amounts of money that are then not available for tax cuts for the filthy rich and the central "colonize #Mars" goals...
Key threads for #TECREAL and #Longtermism

#HandsOff protests: did any media report how many protesters there were in the US? When we have these in France they are always obsessed by the size buy I can't seem to find an estimation for these ones..
Edit: someone send this #NewYorkTimes article which does a relatively good job of describing the diversity of problems that people protested against, but it doesn't really give an attendance estimate, only the number of people who signed up to participate which was 600 000.

Anti-Trump Protests Get Underway Across the Country
Demonstrators packed the streets in cities and towns to rail against government cutbacks, financial turmoil and what they viewed as attacks on democracy.Shaila Dewan (The New York Times)
I haven't been able to get an offical estimate of the crowd at #HandsOff #Sacramento today. But I'm guessing appx 40,000 people?
🇺🇸 I'm surprised to see a republican #US president talking or joking about a third term. Wouldn't the necessary constitutional change directly challenge the #conservative principles of their voter base?
Isn't this something #democrats & #republicans would agree on? 🤷

Can Trump serve a third term as US president?
Donald Trump says "a lot of people want me to do it" and supporters claim there's a loophole to the two-term constitutional limit.Graeme Baker (BBC News)
You're on the French news in Quebec my American friends!
Keep fighting and shouting until the whole world and your own President hear you! 📢✊
We are rooting for your victory!💚
