I don't really know how to feel about the fact that all the weird threads I've been following for the past 20 years are suddenly coming together in a truly unsettling knot, but maybe I can at least help to connect the dots in a somewhat useful way? drilled.media/news/network...

Sunday reading: A MAGA Feeding Frenzy Is Ravaging the Constitutional Order

The assault is coming from different angles: Project 2025. The feudal tech barons. The America First nativists. Less a single master plan – and more comprehensive chaos.

Elon Musk's mother moved to South Africa in the year Apartheid was created, and she and Elon left the year it ended. The last Apartheid Prime Minister, a man who refused to testify at the Truth and Reconciliation Committee, was a family friend who stayed at their home. This is not a crazy theory.

Aside from humanitarian goals, USAID is a way for the US to project power into other parts of the world. That’s why our enemies are cheering its demise.

Destroying it a gift to Putin and Xi — in exchange for them not objecting to the North American Reich.

The events unfolding now are, in several material ways, worse than estimated. There are still major issues to address (budget; debt ceiling) but the capture of the treasury and dismantling of agencies by force is beyond even P2025. This is an attack by hostile foreign powers.

📄 NEW: "Meet the Bros Behind Trump's Greenland Bluster" Some think it a noisy distraction; others see precedent and strategic importance. But Trump's latest push to capture Greenland has roots in the "network state" movement that deserve attention.

🧵Why you should care: FEMA and Public Health - a mini-essay:

I've seen multiple articles on FEMA this week quoting Trump (following the Project 2025 playbook) saying things like "FEMA has turned out to be a disaster....I think we recommend that FEMA go away."

Been asked so many times: “What do you think will happen?”

We will know a lot more soon. But I do think it’s helpful to clarify expectations. The baseline, for me: Being lawless does not make Trump omnipotent. Yet the situation is significantly more dangerous than in 2017.

Why the Second Trump Regime Will Be Far More Dangerous
This will be a much more radical regime – and it will operate under conditions that are vastly more favorable to its extremist cause
