- Reposted by Alison KillingI’ve seen a lot of assumptions in the media that Trump (and Musk) are targeting institutions with loyalty tests. But that’s not quite right. They’re using dominance tests. And the difference between these two things matter. 🧵

- Reposted by Alison KillingThis is a sewing pattern.
