I’m glad the pope is being uncharacteristically vocal about the true tenets of Catholicism of late…

Yes, it's weird that Peter Thiel can't stop talking up the Antichrist.

But look on the bright side—he's also the guy who:

-Gave @jd-vance-1.bsky.social his first VC job
-Funded Vance's firm
-Bought his Senate seat
-Got him the VP slot

Have a nice day!

A familiar face makes an apearance at Peter Thiel’s Secret Antichrist Lecture in San Francisco.

A line of protestors has greeted the line of tech bros waiting to hear Thiel

I think we need to threaten to withhold federal taxes in blue states.

NewWire tweets: "Americans set to pay more for cars, coffee, adn clothing as average U.S. tariff rate jumps to high not seen since Great Depression — WaPo"

this is crazy bc some of you need new clothes

I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE.

This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined.

It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.

YouTube video by Billy Bragg Billy Bragg - The Buck Doesn't Stop Here No More [Official Audio]

If history teaches us one thing
Never trust a man who would be king
Who seeks all power for himself
To burnish his prestige and wealth

A nation born in revolution
Should know this offers no solution
For there can be no liberty
Where one man rules with impunity

Peter Theil, Curtis Yarvin and JD Vance - is there a plan to stop this?

YouTube video by The Nerd Reich with Gil Duran Trump's 'Freedom Cities'? A Tech Blueprint to Dismantle the USA

Remember: Trump's Fascist Cities are straight out of the Network State playbook. Here's a 5 minute video explainer:

Trump’s Gaza Fantasy and the Network State: The Tech-Fueled Future of Privatized Sovereignty | TechPolicy.Press We’re watching the rise of a new anti-democratic extremism—networked, crypto-financed, and cloaked in the language of freedom, writes Gil Duran.

Why are Trump and certain tech billionaires trying to build new dystopian cities and democracy-free "zones"?

It reflects a scary tech idea called "The Network State."

For @techpolicypress.bsky.social, I wrote about why you should be deeply concerned 👇

Curtis Yarvin’s Plot Against America The reactionary blogger’s call for a monarch to rule the country once seemed like a joke. Now the right is ready to bend the knee.

my takeaway from this feature is that in a functioning political system there would be televised congressional hearings over the fact that one of the most influential people in the white house is a total maniac www.newyorker.com/magazine/202...

Congrats! Hope you have @radiofreetom.bsky.social on as a guest.

Not guilty

Network States

We need a national conversation about the extremist ideology behind this push for 10 new tech-controlled dystopias.

But the New York Times, Washington Post, CNN, MSNBC, Politico, et al., have decided (for reasons unknown to me) that this topic is taboo.
Major media failure.

Screenshot of Balaji Srinivasan retweeting Brian Armstrong of Coinbase calling for the creation of 10 new cities in "special economic zones," or Network States.

The mask is coming off of the Network State cult.

Here is Network State evangelist Balaji Srinivasan boosting Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong calling for the creation "10 or so" new tech cities on federal land.

Of course, Trump has already announced plans for 10 new cities...

Nothing Donald Trump could do at this point will reveal anything further about his weakness of character. But the character of the Republicans who go along with him? Who refuse to speak up amidst the unrelenting corruption. More is being revealed about them every minute.

It's hard to imagine a dumber time in human history than what we're living through right now

😂👏👏👏

DOGE abruptly cut a program called Charting My Path for Future Success—a research-based effort that helped teens with disabilities transition from high school into college, work, and independent living. Now it’s gone without explanation.

He wants it to be 1955 again

God I hate him.

Wow

Anti-Trump Protests Get Underway Across the Country Demonstrators packed the streets in cities and towns to rail against government cutbacks, financial turmoil and what they viewed as attacks on democracy.

“Concerns varied by location. In Ketchum, Idaho … one sign showed Smokey Bear and read, ‘Only you can prevent forest fires. Seriously. We’ve been defunded. It’s just you now.’”

Absolutely.

Amazing!
