And it was the first protests that I think that we covered. The first thing that I think I'd seen, certainly the first one focused on Elon Musk and Tesla. And it made me wonder like, oh, right, there's Tesla infrastructure, Tesla charging stations and Tesla dealerships and stuff. everywhere, all over the country.

And that's a potential locus for people without having to travel to a government site. Like, where are Tesla charging stations? They're like at convenient interchanges. You know, there are places that are easy for people to get to. Like, those could be a locus for people to show themselves. in terms of how they're feeling here. So we should start looking around and seeing that.

And I remember the first day, like just coming across a headline that somebody had done something and then just Googling to figure out, had there been any other things like this? And there was like one other person that had been like personally parading around a charging station somewhere in California. And then we just started looking for it.

Do you think there's any turning around in terms of the business world? Like one of the things I've been thinking about with Trump. The law firms, for example, right? The capitulating law firms is that I feel like the best outcome there would be for those law firms to acknowledge what they and everyone could plainly see, which was this was a mistake.

And for them to get out of those deals and change their mind and instead fight Trump. Like I want them to. I don't want them to self-immolate, you know, like I don't want them to be I don't want them to be ended to make them pay for what they did. I want them to change course. Same thing with like Columbia, you know, or like other other capitulating entities.

Like what I think from a small D democratic perspective, I think what you hope is like, oh, you made the wrong call. But look, there is room for you to cross back over. Same with Trump voters, frankly, like. You made a call for whatever reason. You're not inherently a bad person or outside the realm of the civilized for having done that.

Like, come let us reason together, brother, if you recognize that you were wrong there. There's room for you here. Cross over and let's make a new future together.

What the business guys have done, what the business world has done is decide that they want to be part of Trump's authoritarian rule.

And that's, if that's what the business capitulation is about, and it's not the same as the universities and the law firms and Trump voters, then maybe there isn't room for the kind of, you know, sort of mercy and U-turn that I'm hoping for from those other elements. What do you think?
