Mr. Musk’s drug consumption went well beyond occasional use. He told people he was taking so much ketamine, a powerful anesthetic, that it was affecting his bladder, a known effect of chronic use. 

He took Ecstasy and psychedelic mushrooms. And he traveled with a daily medication box that held about 20 pills, including ones with the markings of the stimulant Adderall, according to a photo of the box and people who have seen it.

Arthur Rimbaud to Georges Izambard, November 2, 1870 [Les Essentiels, Bibliothèque nationale de France, Paris]

Julius Malema, member of the South African parliament and leader of the Economic Freedom Fighters party, on Trump’s grotesque “white genocide” spectacle at the White House yesterday:

“We’re not going to kill white people. Stop being sensitive. No one is going to kill you. You think we’re going to kill you just because you killed our people? The killing mentality is in your head. We don’t have a killing mentality. We have a mentality of justice and peace. The only thing we’re not prepared to do is to prioritize peace over justice. There must be justice first, before there is peace…

"We don’t owe white people an apology. Black people, stop apologizing to whites. They are the ones owing us an apology. You have done too much damage to black people. who are unemployed because of you, who are dying of diseases because of you, who are illiterate because of you, who are addicted to drugs because of you. You owe us a lot.

"You must show remorse and stop behaving like crybabies. South African democracy is going to be built by a robust debate, particularly when it comes to race relations. We must stop deceiving each other. The poor meant black. The rich meant white. For as long as that has not been resolved, there will be a permanent problem between the poor and the rich.”

Just an extremely Normal thing to say

Reminder they want to increase the budget for ICE from 3.5 to 45 billion dollars.

Reminder the majority of that will be for building new detention centers.

Reminder ICE are *currently* detaining tourists who can pay for a plane ticket home and people with visa issues that were already resolved, because they have to make quota so Trump can brag about the numbers going up.

Reminder most of these people were already in the immigration system - that's why they were easy to detain.

Reminder this is all at taxpayer expense.
