It’s fucking infuriating that the authoritarian regime has troops in the streets and all you hear in coverage is concern about “anarchists and extremists.” The fascists are fucking extreme. Corporate media is a curse on this society.

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...

In 2024, Ernst Van Zyl of Afriforum—a White Afrikaner group that has been accused of treason re: Trump’s actions against South Africa—acknowledged that “there is no white genocide” in South Africa. But Trump just used the white genocide myth to justify giving White Afrikaners refugee status. 1/

Just amazing: Trump grew angry over a Biden-era program with the word "equity" in its name, so he ended it. But a key part of the program was sending money to red states to expand internet access in rural/MAGA country. Now they might not get it. New piece from me: newrepublic.com/article/1950...
