We cannot normalize this. You cannot simply walk by because you have a meeting or a lunch date. You’re helping it happen when you do nothing. You are not immune from it happening to you.

JUNETEENTH in Harlem.

Today in Politics, Bulletin 145. What a wild day today! Here is my full recap of the Trump-Musk feud which I followed for 5 hours straight, plus everything else that happened today in politics. open.substack.com/pub/meidasto...

Screenshot of a tweet from Elon Musk on June 5 2025 that reads Without me, Trump would have lost the election, Dems would control the House and the Republicans would be 51-49 in the Senate. Such ingratitude.

"Without me, Trump would have lost the election, Dems would control the House and the Republicans would be 51-49 in the Senate."
