Something that I'm glad we are not doing this time around is remember during the first Trump administration how the Washington Post changed their tagline to democracy dies in darkness and everybody gave them a shit ton of money because it was like, yeah, we need like good investigative journalism, traditional media. That's going to save us.

I'm glad that this time around we've all cut the shit and it's like, no, they're part of it. They're not going to do a goddamn thing.

And like, so even, I mean, I'm sure y'all have talked about this to death and I have been thinking about it nonstop, but Elon's seeing how the traditional press reported on his salute. It's like, oh, what did he do? Like the way they will contort themselves to not just come out and say it is astonishing to me.

You actually just gave me a little bit of a silver lining that I had not realized, which is like, it kind of is useful to see so clearly where these institutions and power holders stand. And it's like when, like, I remember watching tech companies like change their logos to Black Lives Matter or post the black square. It's kind of freeing to be like, we don't have to do that shit anymore.

We all don't have to pretend and we don't have to pretend either. We know where you stand. You've made it very clear. You could not make it. You could not have made it clear where your alliance is. And let's go from there. It almost is sort of like trimming the fat a little bit. We no longer have to take these institutions as serious as allies or something.

But even that, I feel like there's, I mean, it's grim shit, but there's a kind of hope in it that, like, we've been, people have been here before, right? Like, you know, there have always been queer people, trans people, black and brown people, immigrants. Like, we are America. And, like, we've always been here, baby. We're always going to be here.

And, like, making our way and, like, holding on and bracing ourselves and doing what we got to do and enduring, like, that is what we fucking do. And so in some ways, as grim as that is, it's kind of hopeful, question mark, also? Yep.
