Guy on this train is playing some general electronica over a speaker, for all to hear on the morning commute, and singing his own lyrics - "Ohhhh Canada! ...Manitoba! ... Alberta!... Quebec!... Ontario!.. Sasatchawan!... British Columbia!" Then, "I'm having sushi for breakfast!" I love NYC.

No Kings. "...Mr. Trump’s assertion, which embraced a baseless right-wing conspiracy theory about former President Joseph R. Biden Jr., was a new escalation of his antidemocratic rhetoric. Implicit in his post was Mr. Trump’s belief that the nation’s laws should be whatever he decrees them to be."

Screenshot of this text: "Musk and Trump appear to be concentrating the extraordinary wealth of the American people, along with the power that wealth brings, into their own hands, for their own ends. Trump has championed further tax cuts for the wealthy and corporations, while Musk seems to want to make sure his companies, especially SpaceX, win as many government contracts as possible to fund his plan to colonize Mars.

But the mission of the United States of America is not, and has never been, to return huge profits to a few leaders."
