In June, I wrote about Trump’s dystopian vision for Gaza.
His AI-generated fantasy fuses necropolitics with venture capital.
And it reflects an extremist Silicon Valley ideology called the Network State.

Trump’s Gaza Fantasy and the Network State: The Tech-Fueled Future of Privatized Sovereignty | TechPolicy.Press
We’re watching the rise of a new anti-democratic extremism—networked, crypto-financed, and cloaked in the language of freedom, writes Gil Duran.

So can we launch a publicly-funded multi-agency investigation into toxic masculinity please?

Yet immigrants are somehow the “problem”
Last year, Nike made $23 billion. Its founder is worth $35 billion. But Nike pays just dollars a day to the workers who make its products.
Today I met Dinar, who sews 222 labels an hour onto Nike products. She is paid $202 a month.
This is corporate greed at its worst.

Calls to “not resort to violence” distort the reality that
a bunch of masked men w/ big guns showed up & started kidnapping people & some very brave people said “stop” & had the audacity to film it.
If we gave ICE’s violence 1% of attention we give others, we would never stop talking about it.

Everything that’s happened over the past six months has been a response to an imaginary crisis. There is no immigrant invasion. No trade crisis. No scientific or governance crisis. Just people completely high off their own supply trying to fundamentally reorder society. None of this had to happen.

When people said “abolish ICE,” this is why.
The politicians from both parties who called that “radical,” blindly funded them and called it “immigration reform,” because they were getting campaign donations from the corporations getting ICE contracts.
And now we’re here.
