Yo, the grid burned hot today, choom. The grid lit up with protests, and the corps ain't gonna like what they saw. From DC to Boston, the streets were jammed with edgerunners, civilians, unionists—everyone sick of getting flatlined by the system. The "Hands Off" wave slammed hard against the latest corpo-friendly push from Orange Gonk himself. He's still running that ancient firmware, coughing up glitchy promises while prepping to derezz Social Security, worker rights, and anything that ain't makin' his ultra-rich backers fatter.

DC saw the boots hit hard near the Washington Monument, but it wasn’t no chill demo—it was a call to arms. Folks ain’t buyin’ the spin. Trump’s pitch to “untax” tips and overtime? Total razzle-dazzle. He’s shuffling the deck while the real payload gets delivered to the suits in the towers. The framework he’s pushing got laser-etched by Senate gonks at midnight like a corp heist—nobody saw it, nobody read it, but it passed. That ain’t policy, that’s cybercrime.

Boston was no slouch either. 5,000+ jacked into the commons, calling out the system rot. Senator Markey dropped truth like he was slicing ICE: this ain’t about one law or one clown in power—it’s about the creeping gridlock of corpo power wrapping its coils tighter around everyone without a trust fund or private island.

And then there’s Elon Musk, the corpo gonk with a God complex and a hyperspeed pipeline to government cash. While the market nosedived, this chrome-plated snake was out in Florence, Italy, sweet-talking far-right suits about “zero tariffs” between the U.S. and Europe. What he means is zero barriers for megacorps to roll over borders and start extracting creds like they’re jacking ATMs. He’s not building the future, he’s strip-mining the present.

On top of that, SpaceX locked in a $5.9 billion deal with the U.S. military to launch their spy-eyes into orbit. That’s creds straight from your taxes getting funneled into Musk’s next orbital fortress while he plays "I’m just an advisor" to the President. One hand codes the future, the other hand counts the cash. You think that’s visionary? Nah, choom, that’s corpo warfare with a friendly face.

Trump and Musk aren’t just pulling gonk moves—they’re executing a full-on system overwrite. Gut the public net, privatize the last safe nodes, and turn every citizen into another data point to be mined and sold. The protests today? That was the system pushing back. That was the firewall activating. Jack in, choom. Time to stop the corpo gonks from taking over the grid.
