Everything about Trump, Musk, Zuck and many super wealthy CEOs who have been front-and-center over the past turbulent decade has shredded the myth that we should trust the uber-wealthy more b/c “they don’t need the money” and are bribe proof. They want more. Because more money brings more power.

Make your calls. Go to your town halls. Ask your state and local officials what they are doing under state and local law. Rest. Hydrate. Make soup for the hungry. Don’t let people tell you that you’re doing it wrong. Not a sprint. Not a marathon. A relay. Find your team. Thank you.
