Once upon a time Google’s guiding principle was “Don’t be evil” In 2015 it changed to “Do the right thing.” Is 2025’s slogan “Don’t care”?
Trump's ballroom donors include:
-Google, whose CEO thanked Trump for "resolution" of an antitrust case
-Palantir, which has lucrative contracts with ICE
-Blackstone's Stephen Schwarzman, who would profit from Trump's regulatory rollbacks for private equity
Pay-to-play.

The focus of ALL the attention should not be on Trump or his grifting family. ALL eyes should be on his Republican representatives, his White House team, the staff/lawyers/general workers, who enable and protect him. Cameras and microphones should be in their faces every minute of the day.

This is truth. Do what you can to nourish your spirit, burnish your hope, comfort your community. Gird your confidence in mutuality. Show up to protests, or otherwise bear witness. #NoKings #democracy
i thought Ezra Levin, one of the organizers of the No Kings gatherings, made such an important profound point yesterday. He said, "Our enemy here is not Trump, our enemy is fatalism and nihilism and cynicism."

You can practice social shunning from a place of peace.
Good people need to start outing their ICE family members, neighbors, and community members.
They need to be made into pariahs in the places decent Americans gather.
