Remember Fiona Hill? She’s now sounding the alarm again: “We’re definitely on a path toward full-on state repression. There’s no question about it. I’ve thought about this for an extraordinarily long time.” When Fiona speaks, we should all listen.

The Silicon Valley venture capitalists have taken control of the MAGA movement and the new Trump administration. The results are even more serious than you may think.

The Trump/Vance/Musk Triumvirate, Part 2 In the first part of this series we showed how the Silicon Valley venture capitalists had led their class in taking over the MAGA movement and Trump’s second presidency. We showed how they disassem…

If you are unfamiliar with Curtis Yarvin, here is your chance to read about this largely behind-the-scenes but influential Silicon Valley venture capitalist/"philosopher". And if you've heard of him- all the more reason to read further!

With Democrats Like These, Who Needs Republicans? Democratic leadership is moving to the center and adopting Republican talking points to court MAGA voters who will never accept them, all the while throwing their own base under the bus.

YouTube video by Hindustan Times Zelensky Full Speech: ‘No’ to Ukrainian? Zelensky Confronted Over Language Choice at Munich Summit

Zelensky is a neoliberal. That's beside the point. Putin is a major imperialist dictator who's trying to expand his dictatorial reach, much as is Israel in a different part of the world. This is why it's worth listening to Zelensky's speech at the Munich security conference.

Chilling.

This seems like learned helplessness.

A critical point.

In this article I didn't mention the "unitary executive" theory. That theory only started to be popularized by the politicians in black robes a little later - after Biden was nearing the end of his term.

“The Nazis needed no one to teach them how to hate…But what they did was they sent researchers to the US to study Jim Crow laws here in the United States, to study and to research how the United States had managed to subordinate and subjugate its African American population.” Isabel Wilkerson

This is hilarious. I especially like the annexation of Green Bay and the mystery Mississippi River announcement.

Now That America Elected a Dictator: What Can We Expect? A Guide to the Worst Case Scenario

I wrote this very detailed guide in November to warn based on my experience what is headed our way. Will keep reposting every once in awhile to see how much Trump carries out

Google drops pledge not to use AI for weapons or surveillance Google changed its public AI policies to remove assertions that it would not develop AI applied to surveillance or weapons.

What the fuck

One thing I learned in many years reporting in China is how eventually, the power apparatus comes for everyone, even those who think they'll remain safe by keeping quiet or sucking up to power. That's just how it works.

Murphy: "The reality is this could get dystopian very quickly. If you were to start speaking ill of Elon Musk on social media, Musk might be able to stop or delay your tax refund, or your mom's Social Security benefit, in part because we have no window into what's happening at Treasury right now."

Not for nothing but everyone realizes that these teenagers and 20 somethings who have complete access to the Treasury payment source code are now #1 espionage recruitment targets for Russia and China, right?

Just appalling. I really wish the Europeans would grow a backbone. And fast. And it's not yet clear how pleased the AfD is about Elon's attention...

I am a tour guide in Germany, and I tell this exact story to describe what happened when Hitler came to power. In 1933 people were escorted out of their offices by thugs loyal to Hitler. It took a few minutes and the results were devastating.

Tell her I'm thinking of her.

I hope she gets her pension.

I shared it. Were you able to find it? It's in Substack under Trump Tyranny Tracker.

He may go back to his golf game when the weather warms up. To be honest, I don't think Trump is calling the shots. I see Elon and Project 2025 calling the shots here.

Peter Mandelson: I was wrong to call Trump a danger Incoming British ambassador to the U.S. says 2019 attacks on Trump were “ill-judged” — but urges White House not to leave Ukraine to Putin.

Just saw that the British ambassador who had called Trump all sorts of horrible but truthful words is now saying he was wrong to say that and that he's a great guy. Typical reaction to a tyrant in the making. Just like in Nazi Germany in 1933.

I'm really enjoying (if I can use such a word here) TrumpTyrannyTracker. Short, concise and lots of horrifying stuff we cannot afford to ignore right now.
