No Kings explained for people who think they're fighting fascism.
You're standing in a crowd on Saturday. You look around and think yeah. No Kings. This is what democracy looks like.
Bro.
You're holding a sign made by a communist billionaire who lives in Shanghai.
You live in a constitutional republic.
Elections. Term limits. A free press that spent four years calling the president a fascist without one journalist being arrested.
The modern left's definition of fascism:
You love your country? Fascist.
You want to enforce the border? Racist.
You think parents should raise their kids? Bigot.
You want to know who's voting in your elections? Jim Crow.
Being patriotic is fascism to the modern left.
But every country has borders and enforces them. 176 countries require ID to vote. That's the definition of a country.
But the Democratic establishment told you otherwise. And you believed them.
Congress has a 15% approval rating. 80% of Americans disapprove. 97% of incumbents got re-elected.
Chuck Schumer. 46 years. Longer than Stalin.
Steny Hoyer. 45 years. Longer than Mao.
Mitch McConnell. 42 years. 5x more than Napoleon.
Nancy Pelosi. 39 years. Longer than Henry VIII.
Maxine Waters. 35 years. Longer than Mussolini.
Bernie Sanders. 35 years. Triple Hitler's entire reign.
Trump. 5 years and 3 months. Won the popular vote and the electoral vote.
But Trump is the king. Okay buddy.
You don't hate kings. You hate kings that aren't yours.
And Saturday they had you in the streets carrying their water.
The Democratic Party installed a president without letting you vote. Biden quit on a Sunday. By Tuesday your queen was crowned.
No primary. No debate. No ballot. First time since 1968.
Three days before your march every Senate Democrat voted against photo ID to vote.
During COVID you carried a vaccine card everywhere like a hall pass from the government just to eat at a restaurant.
But getting a birth certificate or waiting two hours at the DMV to prove you're a citizen before you vote? That's oppression.
The Democratic Party is pro illegal immigration.
Counts non-citizens in the Census. Census determines congressional seats. More non-citizens means more seats means more power. No voter ID means no way to check.
That's how you keep power without wearing a crown.
Biden built a censorship machine.
Pressured Facebook to suppress true information and admitted it in writing. Censored scientists. Censored doctors. Censored JOKES. The Biden White House told Facebook to remove "humor and satire."
They literally went after people for making fun of them. UK does it better tho...
Everything they censored turned out to be right. They just outsourced the silencing to Silicon Valley.
And it doesn't stop at speech.
The extreme left justifies taking children from families.
Six thousand schools rewrite children's identities without telling parents. And the State has the right to intervene.
The Hitler Youth did this. Mao's Red Guards did this. The Soviets built statues of a child who reported his own father.
Same playbook.
During Covid, your bakery got shut down. Church closed. You couldn't hold your dying mother's hand at the hospital.
But thousands packed together during BLM to burn Minneapolis and THAT was essential civic engagement. Obviously.
$2 billion in damage. 25 dead. 2,000 cops injured. 20 states burning. VP Kamala promoted a bail fund for the rioters. No investigation. No hearings.
January 6. One building. Few hours. 1,000 prosecuted. Two years of televised hearings.
Kings decide which violence counts. The left decided.
Charlie Kirk spent his life walking onto campuses asking for honest debate. He was assassinated.
CSIS terrorism database. 2025 is the first year in 30 years that left-wing attacks outnumber right-wing. Yet no one brings this up.
75% of liberal students say preventing a speaker from talking is justified. 27% say violence is acceptable.
Liberals who went to Trump rallies: "I never felt unsafe." "The experience changed me."
Conservatives who show up on liberal campuses get screamed at, blocked, and assassinated.
One side talks. The other side screams.
The Party for Socialism and Liberation marched with you Saturday.
Their stated purpose in their own words: "Revolution." Not reform. Marxism.
The system that killed a hundred million people last century. They had you holding their signs while they said it out loud.
500 groups. $3 billion in revenue. Pre-printed signs. The signs were ready before you were angry.
The money leads to Neville Roy Singham. Billionaire in Shanghai. Attends CCP workshops. Funnels millions through shell companies at UPS mailboxes. Three Congressional committees have subpoenaed him as a suspected CCP foreign agent.
You thought you were fighting for democracy. You were carrying water for Beijing.
"Liberals are leaving the First Amendment behind." Spoken by the ACLU lawyer who defended Nazis in court because it was their constitutional right.
Bill Clinton put 100,000 cops on the street. Reformed welfare. Said illegal immigration is wrong to a standing ovation. Told America the era of big government is over.
Today his own party would call him a fascist.
The 1990s Democrat defended free speech for Nazis. Yours censors doctors for telling the truth.
The 1990s Democrat held open primaries. Yours installed a nominee without a vote.
The 1990s Democrat trusted parents. Yours takes their children.
Historians measure fascism across eight traits. Here's who checks the boxes in 2026:
Censorship of political opposition. Democrats.
Contempt for democratic process. Democrats.
Tolerance of political violence. Democrats.
State ideology forced on families. Democrats.
Corporate-state fusion. Democrats.
Scapegoating and manufactured enemies. Both sides.
Cult of personality. Both sides.
Ultranationalism. Republicans.
Five for the left. One for the right. Two shared.
You marched against kings on Saturday.
You marched FOR kings.
You just didn't know which was which.
Stop being gaslit.
I hope you understand what's at stake.

Another "But". This one really rustles my jimmies because the whole point is to claim Anduril hasn't actually pulled off one of the most incredible programs in aviation history, the fastest new fighter program in many decades.
In their noble quest to call me a liar, WIRED apparently didn't bother to read literally anything about the aircraft General Atomics submitted to the CCA program.
Their prototype fighter has been flying for years. This isn't just my personal opinion or some clever twist of definition, it is explicitly what GA themselves has been heavily marketing - their argument, and it is a reasonable one, is that their aircraft has a much longer track record than Anduril's YFQ-44A Fury prototype.
To quote one of their press releases from early 2024, loooong before Anduril was even awarded a prototyping contract: "Since then, this prototype for CCA has successfully completed two additional test flights, laying the groundwork for a successful production and flight test program. GA-ASI’s CCA production representative design is based upon the XQ-67A Off-Board Sensing Station developed by GA-ASI for the AFRL."

There’s a bunch more songs that are literally about war:
“For Whom The Bell Tolls” sharing the same name as Ernest Hemingway’s book about an American volunteer warfighter
“One” is about a soldier stepping on a landmine
“Seek and Destroy” pretty self explanatory
“Don’t Tread on Me” taking inspiration from Gadsden flag / revolutionary war
“Disposable Heroes”
If we’re talking more about music that gets you pumped up there are plenty of other bands/rappers over the last 30-40 years beyond T-Swift
Although playing T-Swift from helicopters while invading would be wild psychological warfare à la Apocalypse Now

@JamesonCamp @Scobleizer I love science. But screwing with the planets circadian rhythm seems like a bad idea.
English

$5,000 an hour. for sunlight. from space.
a startup putting 50,000 mirrors in orbit to sell sunlight anywhere on earth
I thought this was the dumbest idea Ive ever heard
then it clicked
- firefighting aircraft get GROUNDED every night at sunset. pilots cant see terrain. fires burn unchecked for 10 hours straight.
and heres whats wild - water drops are 60% more effective at night. cooler temps. less wind. but nobody can fly.
light up the fire line from orbit. let them work. the US spends $3-5B a year fighting wildfires. this is a rounding error.
- a single late frost in Napa or Florida citrus can wipe out an entire season. $854M in frost losses last year alone.
but the crazy part - the real buyer isnt even the farmer. its the crop insurance company trying to avoid a $500M payout by spending $50k on a few hours of orbital sunlight
- fog costs London Heathrow over $100M a year in delays. fog burns off when sunlight hits the ground. you speed that up by 30 minutes and the value per hour is $500K-$1M. $5k/hour is pocket change
- military forward operating base at night? forget night vision goggles. just light up the whole compound from space and go get it
- 4 million people above the Arctic Circle live in MONTHS of total darkness. depression. productivity drops. everything slows down. you could give entire communities twilight during polar night
- 150,000 babies die or get brain damage every year in developing countries from jaundice because the cure is literally just light and they dont have electricity for it.
beam it down from orbit. no power grid needed.
I went down this rabbit hole for an hour and every use case is more insane than the last
260,000 people from 157 countries on the waitlist. each dropping $1,000-5,000. Sequoia backed them - first space investment since SpaceX. the Air Force already signed a contract.
mirrors weigh 35 lbs and theyre the size of a basketball court. 4-10x brighter than a full moon. built by a 28 year old ex-SpaceX engineer.
this went from "dumbest thing Ive ever seen" to holy shit in about 10 minutes...

@Brent_Fulfer Couldn’t agree more.
It’s why I built ClarityOS.

A founder came to me after 9 months of failed fundraising.
68 investor meetings. Zero checks.
The problem wasn't his pitch. It wasn't his product.
He was building a Web2.5 company — real revenue, blockchain infrastructure under the hood — and pitching only to Web3 funds who wanted a token.
His deck was full of crypto language. Degens. On-chain.
Web2 funds took one look and passed because it sounded too crypto.
Web3 funds passed because there was no token.
He was falling through the gap between both worlds.
We repositioned the deck & story. Same company. Same product.
But now it led with the business — revenue, growth, market size.
Blockchain was the infrastructure, not the headline.
6 weeks later he had his first term sheet from a Web2 fund.
Most Web2.5 founders don't have a product problem.
They have a positioning problem.

@mert @chainyoda There are many reasons to love Europe. Tech leadership is not one of them.

I’m not a 🦞 expert, but have been using Dispatch quite a bit to monitor live, discreet Cowork sessions while I’m out on my walks. It’s honestly great, but you can think of it more like a remote control for an active Cowork session with a limited interface. OpenClaw, on the other hand is much more autonomous.
