🚨 READ. This dark playbook and vision from Peter Thiel and Curtis Yarvin of a Felon/fElon admin is already in motion, folks...

"The CEO he picks will run the executive branch without any interference from the Congress or courts, probably also taking over state and local governments..."

Even if you don’t like the wording in that NYT post, you should still read the excellent @charliesavage.bsky.social piece on Trump “bulldozing legal constraints” to which that is a sidebar.

So now we know where the first concentration camp will be.

A tragic loss that certainly puts a fine point on today's place in history.
