To accomplish and conceal that, they gain votes and power by division, cruelty, and violence. But the goal is the wealth transfer to the top. If you look at what they actually do, that's mainly it in different forms. Tax cuts to the corporations, tax cuts to the rich, straight up corruption, which is now even more right in the open than anything.

But also things like large-scale deregulation, regulatory capture, and the politicization of the justice system. Yeah. I think the latter part there, that is why it seems like we are seeing a very sharp and aggressive turn to the right by all the big tech companies.

They all are now explicitly supporting the Republican Party to, in my view, to selfishly benefit from the wealth transfer and deregulatory aspects. And the price they paid to get those gains is to completely sell their souls and their morals out by therefore also supporting the division, cruelty, and violence that Republicans require as a smokescreen and a source of power.

This is going to be something we're going to be fighting and angered and hurt by and possibly damaged by from any of us for a long time now. And I don't know how to fix it. There is no quick and easy fix. We can't just turn all of our avatars blue or put stickers on our cars and expect anything to change. What I suggest that we do is practice the opposite of their playbook.

So what's the opposite of division, cruelty, and violence? Generosity, acceptance, love, and protection. And I think we need to embody those in what we preach, what we do, and as tech people, what we build. You know, right now, women, anybody who's not white, LGBTQ people, trans and non-binary people are all under attack by these monsters.

Those of us who can support and protect someone who needs support and protection really need to now. So generosity, acceptance, love, and protection. That is the best thing we can do to get through this for now. And that's how we can fight it so we can turn this horrible, toxic mess around. And we'll do our best from our position here. We'll do our best.

And also, what we saw last time this administration happened, what we saw last time was basically a bunch of fire in motion constantly. For those of you who don't remember or have mercifully blocked it out of your memory, basically every day of that administration was...
