Under the banner of “innovation” and “freedom,” a coalition of right-wing billionaires, libertarian think tanks, and Trump-era policymakers are pushing a plan to seize public lands and carve private city-states out of them. They’re calling them “Freedom Cities.”
“Freedom Cities”: A tech-bro fantasy with real-world consequences for public lands
A fringe idea born in tech circles and right-wing politics is now being positioned as the next great excuse to carve up public lands.

This is the end game for Project2025 and the billionaires. We can stop the oligarchy from stealing our resources. Push back!

ICE must be stopped.
ICE stormed a residence hall at Augsburg University, detained an undergrad, and aimed rifles at students and staff before admitting they had no warrant to be there. This is state violence. This is terror. And this is what Trump’s America unleashes on our communities.
