Providence prepared for this kind of tragedy. Mayor Smiley responded with steadiness. - The Boston Globe
The city’s preparation did not prevent the violence, and no amount of planning can blunt the horror of it. But in the chaotic hours that followed, it did matter.

1. Do something outrageous via Executive Order 2. Go to court 3. Court rules that said thing is illegal 4. Ignore court's order (We are here). 5. ? If you want to know what steps 5, 6, and 7 are, you can read what they wrote down and said publicly that they would do next. I'm not saying it.

I think the first, massive protest shouldn't take place on the streets; it should be through the marketplace. Start with the 10 biggest advertisers on X. Get influencers to spread the word. Ask anyone who is willing/able to refuse to buy from these places until they divest from X. They will care.

I hate that it's gotten this far, but if countries want to counter a US-imposed trade war, they should make Elon Musk's companies a focus of their retaliation. Those business interests have effectively merged with the US executive branch, and decision-makers value them more than the American people.
