Great piece by @ecetemelkuran.bsky.social connecting today’s political environment to the cyberlibertarianism of Silicon Valley. Indeed, the ideological machinery of being “everywhere & nowhere” has been at work for 30 years—explicitly set out in Barlow’s Declaration of Independence of Cyberspace.

That Times editorial we are collectively agog over can be explained, IMO, by realizing that protecting the status quo is the highest order goal for them. Trump is destroying the status quo, but so too might the resistance that can effectively repel Trump, and that is not acceptable.

Americans - listen up!
At the Bylines Network in the UK, we've taken on a new project to amplify (non-MAGA!) American voices at a time when there's so much damage to people's lives that the US media can't or won't keep up.
But we do citizen journalism - we're collecting the stories. Take a look. 👇

My latest post is now out.
I show how Trump's attacks on science and universities are neither random nor new - they fit very precisely into the authoritarian playbook.
This means we can guess what might come next and prepare - and we must!

This Cybertruck did not crash. It made a heartfelt and perhaps ill-advised gesture that, in the moment, might have been misinterpreted as a crash, but we should not rush to judgement.

Thank you to Greater Manchester Police for helping keep vulnerable road users safe from this.
There's a reason Tesla Cybertrucks are not legal in the UK and Europe; Cybertrucks present acute dangers to pedestrians and don’t meet European safety standards.
The vehicle has been seized.
