The strange new religion of the tech bros’ AI military and intelligence industrial complex: youtu.be/dpE3feBwHCM?...

In Wagner’s brutal world, their commanders are loud and proud on social media: public faces in a shadowy, violent global war. But beneath the bravado lies a code that’s as ruthless as it is bloody. Listen to this week's Gaslit Nation, "Putin's Sledgehammer": https://loom.ly/mllICvg #oligarchy

JD Vance’s boss, saying out loud that he wants to replace democracy with technological control by a few: youtube.com/shorts/s-BQh...

I’m not saying this is what happened, but if you were going to visit a bioweapons lab, you should never go with the one guy who is out to prove that germs don’t make us sick?

Jack and Fiona watched as Trump and Musk turned the US into what they call “a fascist hellscape.” So they turned to tech to organize, creating @stickittofascists.com. They're one of many mobilizing online. And as millions joined the "No Kings” protests, these tools were powering the movement.

Fly our flag, it’s No Kings Day!

Insider sales of our National Parks in the BBB: Only money, land, and compute matter in the post-labor economy. So the tech bros are not looting just money, it’s public lands too, without competitive bidding: www.youtube.com/live/-Z24G0k...

We own the Flag, MAGA does not. Fly the Flag with a No Kings sign or banner to show what the flag really means.

People around the world are starving now because of Musk’s cuts. They are dying of disease because of Musk’s cuts. They are being born with diseases they will carry with them for the rest of their lives because of Musk’s cuts. https://trib.al/bcwnBRR

Trump’s dystopian plan is already underway: collecting data on every American, potentially to wield surveillance powers over us. And the administration has been very quiet about these efforts. https://trib.al/IYmRKt2

Curtis Yarvin goes on @cnn.com, confirms that he wants a monarchy to replace democracy, says racist things and informs @hadasgold.bsky.social that he's in touch with Trump staffers. Nice to see the mainstream press catch up on this dangerously weird ideology. www.cnn.com/2025/05/31/p...

ELON IS TRYING TO BUILD OUT HIS FASCIST GRANDFATHER’S FANTASY “The Technate will encompass the entire American Continent from Panama to the North Pole because the natural resources and the natural boundary of this area make it an independent, self-sustaining geographical unit.”

Whitehouse philosopher is so disappointed in DOGE that he called it “an orchestra of chimpanzees trying to play Wagner.” southfloridareporter.com/curtis-yarvi...

Let’s call it what it is: the MAGA Murder Budget — a calculated assault on the most vulnerable Americans under the guise of fiscal responsibility. Read the latest from @joetrippi.bsky.social for Lincoln Square www.lincolnsquare.media/p/its-not-bu...

To win a war they cannot avoid, Chief Justice Roberts and his allies must rediscover their belief in a simple notion: The American president is not above the law.

Fight for every inch of freedom. Weimar history compared to an overview of what Trump is doing, and a German poem “Your house will burn if you let it smolder.” youtu.be/6skuCiLCjRA

Another way Trump is seeking military control over citizens, and the historical distinction between a “state of exception” and a “state of emergency” and its role in Trump’s unitary executive theory and Hitler’s nullification of the Weimar Constitution, a legal discussion: youtu.be/YBC6Gkbjoxo?...

@anneapplebaum.bsky.social speaks with @davidfrum.bsky.social about how authoritarian regimes seek to break institutions, and the pain of losing friendships to politics. Watch and subscribe to “The David Frum Show”:

Why is Trump hating on Harvard when he can’t tell it from Harlem? Ask Vance, and his boss, and his boss’s “in-house philosopher.” www.vox.com/politics/409...

WATCH: Rolling Stone reports that even members of the Trump administration are hoarding food, household supplies, and cash over fears about the impact of the president’s trade war. One Trump aide explained to Rolling Stone: “Because it would be stupid not to!”

NIAID's Integrated Research Facility is one of the few federal facilities charged with studying Ebola. Tuesday afternoon, all of its work was put on indefinite pause by Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s department. www.wired.com/story/hhs-ni...

Not enough people are talking about Peter Thiel. This is a great place to start. #Riverwand youtu.be/riX2Ww80Ow0?...

Jonathan Rauch: Focus on the Corruption.

NEW: PublicSquare, a website that lets you search for businesses in your community that explicitly want you to know they endorse Trump/MAGA values, is backfiring as people use it to boycott those businesses. www.huffpost.com/entry/public...

Last week, Hilliard Law, alongside our colleagues at Hilliard Shadowen, stood with 806 other law firms across the country in a powerful act of solidarity and resistance. When democracy is tested, courage is required. Count on us to rise to the occasion. www.hilliard-law.com/blog/2025/ap...

The SF Standard names Curtis Yarvin as one of the top 100 most influential people in San Francisco: "If democracy has felt precarious lately that's by ... Yarvin's design." Hmm. Why hasn't the Standard written about this before? A cutesy item in a glib listicle hardly seems the proper format.

EXCLUSIVE: DOGE is knitting together data from the Department of Homeland Security, Social Security Administration, and IRS that could create a surveillance tool of unprecedented scope.

“Rallying to the defense of American constitutional democracy has become alarmingly difficult after years of insistence” that the “system is irreparably broken,” Garry Kasparov writes. Donald Trump “may be reminding Americans about what they stand to lose”:
