Rick Caruso has named other board members to his nonprofit with close ties to the Trump administration, including Palantir co-founder Joe Lonsdale.

Lonsdale also started the Cicero Institute, a Texas think tank that develops anti-camping bills which have been passed by several states
There were other red flags in Caruso's announcement. Joe Lonsdale, co-founder of Palantir and mentee of Peter Thiel, is on the Steadfast LA board. You may have seen Palantir and Peter Thiel in the news lately.

On Joe Rogan, Caruso name-checked Lonsdale as "one of the biggest thinkers around"

But for now, just notice how rising authoritarian state violence and surveillance, which brings massive profits, is framed as a natural "response" to "crime." Once you start noticing how ideological and distorted this is, you can read the news differently.
