We would just like you to change it. And that is a real distinction from how Vance is talking. And I think what that points to is, you know, these are big, complicated organizations. There are a lot of points of friction along the way. This isn't a situation where Vance or Trump or Musk can kind of wave their hand and say, go ahead, defy a court order.

Maybe like a slightly redder orange. Like a blood orange color, you know? I do think that...

That was not something that we saw the last time around. And I think Musk is kind of the new factor here. And it does seem like we may be headed in that direction. Now, again, Because of those filings that were much more careful in how they framed things, I think I am less worried that this is going to happen imminently.

in a really astonishing way is weave together the details of her experience as somebody who suffered from this abuse, as somebody who was testifying to her own experience with what it means to do the work of history when the archive is uncertain as to what it's telling you, and also what it means to live right now in this moment
