Attending the march embodies those connections and puts the marchers in one big subjectivity. As Tom says, the good news is it's all one project now.

I'm not naive enough to be optimistic, but part of me likes Trump cracking the door open for public equity in major corps (and ending Fed independence).
Now we can reasonably say, "We already own $8bil of Intel with no control. Owning equity isn't weird. Getting no power in exchange is weird."

Cop unions are sticking with Eric Adams BECAUSE he is using the NYPD to run a criminal enterprise. I didn't know it was possible to be this bad at journalism.

IRA is the legislation that began life as Build Back Better. You're padding your list. And what's this? Golden voted against it!
