We’re in the midst of #authoritarian takeover of the US govt. It’s been coming and coming, and not everybody is prepared to read it that way. The characters regarded as people to emulate, like #Orban, #Putin all indicate strategy is to create an illiberal #democracy or an authoritarian democracy or a strongman democracy. You neutralize the branches of #government; you neutralize the media; you neutralize universities, and you’re on your way. #trump #maga chronicle.com/article/were-in-

"In the #tech bro world #ElonMusk comes from, the definition of "freedom" is that rich people get to treat everyone else however they like, without that pesky #government coming in to protect people's #safety, autonomy or civil #rights. As Duran explained in his newsletter, "These cities will be controlled entirely by tech #billionaires and #corporations, operating outside of #US laws.""

Text from article(edited for length): By design, the details of how "freedom cities" would be established are laden with legalese... In practice, the plan is straightforward. Advocates want the federal government to set aside land to build cities exempt from federal and state laws. Instead, the cities would function as mini-dictatorships, where the CEO of each town runs everything, and the people who live and work there are subject to the boss's whims. It would be like being an employee of a controlling company, except you don't clock out at the end of the day or have a life — or rights — outside of what the boss allows you. "These are going to be cities without democracy," journalist Gil Duran told Wired. He's spent years documenting how the Silicon Valley elite — along with politicians like Vice President JD Vance — have pushed the idea that democracy should be ended and replaced with governments run by all-powerful businessmen. "These are going to be cities where the owners of the city, the corporations, the billionaires have all the power and everyone else has no power." In the tech bro world Elon Musk comes from, the definition of "freedom" is that rich people get to treat everyone else however they like, without that pesky government coming in to protect people's safety, autonomy or civil rights. As Duran explained in his newsletter, "These cities will be controlled entirely by tech billionaires and corporations, operating outside of U.S. laws."

The dystopian "freedom cities" dream fueling Elon Musk's destruction

Tech's plans for billionaire-rule expose why #Musk wants to end #government by the people
salon.com/2025/03/17/the-dysto

"what the #SiliconValley billionaire class considers "freedom cities" is simply neo-feudalism, a plan to end the concept of #citizenship & make every working person a serf whose entire life is controlled by the whims of their boss. "

The People Trump and DOGE Hurt
joycevance.substack.com/p/the-

"when fair #housing groups lose... funding, a lot of people suffer as a result...

This isn’t about making #government more effective. It’s about #cruelty. That’s the point... leaving families without a #safety net and putting countless lives and futures at risk. The freeze would have devastating consequences for millions of #Americans, regardless of political affiliation."

Headline and text from article: The People Trump and DOGE Hurt by Joyce Vance Mar 14, 2025 Four members of the National Fair Housing Alliance (NFHA) filed a lawsuit against the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) and the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) after HUD, with no warning, terminated Fair Housing Initiatives Program (FHIP) grants. More than $30 million in congressionally authorized funding to fair housing groups was suddenly withdrawn. Those funds are used to fight housing discrimination and enforce fair housing laws across the country. That’s a lot of acronyms in one sentence. And even though we get that when fair housing groups lose $30 million in funding, a lot of people suffer as a result, sometimes we need to see that impact in more personal terms for it to truly sink in.

TSA Says Its Credit Cards for Bomb-Sniffing Dogs Are Cut Off
404media.co/tsa-k9-bomb-sniffi

"The #TSA spokesperson didn’t clarify whether these were #Doge cuts... but Elon Musk’s dept has been busy making poorly-coded & insecure websites, dodging #FOIA, gutting national parks resources... demanding federal workers list their weeks out in bullet points, and generally sowing #chaos all over the federal #government with layoffs & budget cuts."

Can't be repeated enough:
"Elon Musk is not engaged in an “efficiency drive”. He is not trying to save money. He is trying to cripple the state and destroy the public sector, since oligarchs of his ilk think these are by nature a waste of money and that their functions should be privatized. Media should report it as such."

DOGE Has Become What It Claimed To Destroy
techdirt.com/2025/03/10/doge-h

"DOGE is the #DeepState. Wired’s Brian Barrett made this crucial observation last week & I can’t get it out of my mind. For all the talk during the last decade of the supposed “deep state” of #unelected bureaucrats controlling the #government, which was never actually true, #DOGE has become the very deep state they falsely claimed existed previously."

Headline and text from article: Headline: DOGE Has Become What It Claimed To Destroy from the every-accusation dept Mon, Mar 10th 2025 03:00pm - Mike Masnick Text: There’s that old saying that every accusation is a confession. Nowhere is this more evident than in the Musk/Trump administration, everything is projection. While claiming to champion free speech and fight government censorship, they’ve become the most aggressively censorial administration in modern history. After years of performative outrage about campus speech restrictions, they’re systematically dismantling academic freedom. They’re “rescuing” what they called a terrible Biden economy (which was actually remarkably strong) by… implementing policies that have economists screaming about an inevitable recession (or worse). But here’s where the projection becomes almost perfectly aligned: DOGE is the deep state. Wired’s Brian Barrett made this crucial observation last week and I can’t get it out of my mind. For all the talk during the last decade of the supposed “deep state” of unelected bureaucrats controlling the government, which was never actually true, DOGE has become the very deep state they falsely claimed existed previously.
