Why does Trump keep threatening to steal Gaza and build a new city there?
This is his version of the Network State — a gold-plated tech fascist casino built atop genocide and mass displacement.

Trump, Gaza, and the Network State: Tech Colonialism Rises
Trump’s fixation on taking Gaza, like his obsession with acquiring Greenland, reveals a clear alignment with the Network State ideology.

Trump didn’t invent this strategy. It’s the playbook for democratically elected leaders who want to stay in power forever.

This is the scariest thing of them all. The arbitrary devaluation of the USD as the world currency.
After he gets done tanking the US economy--the strongest in the world a mere two months ago--Trump is going to tank the US dollar, the pillar of the *global* economy, by tying the federal government to crypto.
This could trigger a crisis that will make 2008 look like amateur hour.

Call your brokerage and have them dump this pathetic stock from your portfolio
If Tesla's stock drops far enough, the bank loans Elon took out to buy Twitter lose their collateral and get called back immediately.
Which is why Elon is panicking, Trump is panicking, and their shadow backers are all panicking.

This point needs to be hammered home. The Democrats have turned into a party of losers both in terms of numbers and election outcomes and in a strictly pejorative sense.
Democrats who think they can hide under a rock because voters will eventually see Trump/Musk as bad are ignoring the power of disinformation—and how the weak media’s obsession with "both sides" fuels it.
Narrative warfare requires constant work. Silence will ensure Democrats get blamed.

NEWS: Trump abruptly assembled his cabinet today to let them know Elon MUSK is not in charge of hiring/firing -- they are.
It was an abrupt admonition that appeared aimed at the mounting legal scrutiny of Musk's power over the government.
