Author, Steven Levey, knows Silicon Valley well.

“Here’s something that took me by surprise: how quickly and decisively the visionaries I chronicled aligned themselves with Trump, a man whose values violently clashed with the egalitarian impulses of the digital revolution. How did I miss that?”

No matter how long I live after we get through this dark chapter, I will never get over the immorality, the amorality, the corruption, the criminality and the cruelty in service to one of the worst humans to ever walk the earth.

There is a dissociation between the world people say they want…and the world they are financing. People want change but they’re not unhappy about their Palantir stock performance.

Apologies in advance….I’m not a fan of AI-generated content, but after the wheels came off Trump’s administration today….Your Honor, I’ll allow it. ☮️☮️☮️

Never forget this: The forces rigging our economy, undermining our democracy, polluting our planet, and stoking hatred are counting on you to give up. Cynicism is how they win. Stay clear-eyed and ready for the fight ahead.

Practicing patience is the path of the bodhisattva. When you meet obstacles, be strong. Then the obstacles won’t last. If you are strong and practice compassion, patience, thought transformation, and emptiness, then obstacles don’t last.

Paola Ramos. She’s an American journalist - and as daughter of Jorge Ramos, she has the DNA to seek truth. ‘At the core of MAGA and of Democratic Socialism is surprisingly, populism.’ Trump to Mamdani, ‘we think alike’. Unpack that!

I am not interested in becoming numb. I want a heart that can still feel, still respond, still protect what is vulnerable.

Bearing witness is a practice and I do not like it. But it has shaped me. Inhumane treatment of animals pushed me into vegetarian life. Footage of Auschwitz cracked something open in me. Seeing China’s invasion of Tibet gave me direction. Each time I felt broken, I also felt more human. 1/2

Today I sit for Hanan Elatr, Jamal Khashoggi's widow. While she fights for justice and accountability for her husband's murder, ordered by MBS, Trump welcomes him to the WH, calls him ‘a great man, a dear friend’. May the entire world see this clearly.

Trump hates women. Epstein emails are a pebble compared to the mountain of evidence seized: 1500 hrs of video, or = 10-20 million photos - from just ONE of Epstein’s homes. The blast radius of trauma and damage created is massive. Victims now watch Trump dismiss and betray them. Sadistic.

If the current POTUS can say to a credentialed female Bloomberg reporter, “Quiet, piggy.”, call AOC and Crockett “low IQ” and refer to almost every strong woman he has met as “nasty”…
……imagine how he treated the underage girls he brutally violated that weren’t there by choice.
