“Keep Moving” by Bronson.

The corporate hellscape depicted in the video was created by Swedish collective Stylewar, who manipulated stock footage to create the chaotic imagery.

From Stylewar’s press release: “The pull to use stock footage became centered around this niche subset of content for the corporate business world, for it can be so cliché and mind-bendingly generic. We love how hyper-generic it is, in every detail. From cast, wardrobe, props to locations and especially the acting— it’s all super shallow and false. So, with this as a base, we wanted to create an alternate reality: what would happen if there was a complete inversion to this world and sense of order. Are they all fake? Is everything fake?”

Is everything fake indeed.

Has there ever been a president so utterly devoid of scruple, so naked in his ambition to steal an election? Trump is so terrified of losing that he’ll take the entire system down with him. Our post office. Our elections. Our very democracy. His depravity is boundless.

—Representative Adam Schiff of California.

Today might be yet another good day to contact your representatives in the House and Senate, this time to demand protections and full funding for post office operations. I have my congressional delegates’ numbers on speed dial. You can find contact info for yours at www.house.gov/representatives/find-your-representative and www.senate.gov/senators/index.htm.
