If you’re interested in the backstory of how Silicon Valley got so evil. Well, I invite you to my most-read piece from February.

Steve Jobs’ legacy may seem somewhat askew from current events. But given the industry he was once seen as the leader, has betrayed everything he was, it’s worth a little cul-de-sac. He wasn’t a perfect man. But he changed things.

Into history, we flow ...

Wither, First Amendment.

Wither, First Amendment.

The craziest thing of all is that the vast majority of Americans really have no sense of how critical this crisis is to their interests. 1/3

What the hell was the Director of National Intelligence doing seizing ballots?

A friend has successfully convinced me to drop the paywall early on this piece on Apple, Steve Jobs, and Tim Cook.

Excellent article by Mike Brock on the “architecture of unreality” from Notes From the Circus.

Wow. www.youtube.com/watch?v=wWKS...

I mean, who the fuck am I to be the one defending the man’s legacy? One would have thought the institution he built would play that role. Well, it seems the job falls to someone outside the walls.

Imagine if these motherfuckers were as aggressive at enforcing tax laws as they are immigration laws.

I'm not done with Bari.

I'm sorry, but The Free Press is a confab of intellectual degenerates who use their rhetorical skills to present the costume of honest commentary, when really it's just a marketing scheme for their status management within a corrupt political-economic order.

I personally don't believe Jeff Thomas committed suicide.

And in the world of political economy ... that means you're fucked.

A friend has successfully convinced me to drop the paywall early on this piece on Apple, Steve Jobs, and Tim Cook.

"President Trump is a very strong leader, and I hope he will rise to this moment and unite the country." Such a courageous statement from Sam Altman to OpenAI employees. www.nytimes.com/2026/01/27/b...

The fact that you see this coordinated, desperate attempt to try to make Gavin Newsom a reactionary villain by the reactionaries right now should tell you everything you need to know. They are desperate to distract you. They don't want you looking. Keep looking.

If anyone knows any good journalists holding the fort over at Vichy CBS, send them my words of encouragement.

My thoughts on Bari. www.notesfromthecircus.com/p/the-crisis...

Guys, I think I might have the stamina to write No. 6 tonight, and I think it might be about Bari Weiss.

I thought I'd share my thoughts on the late Mr. Jobs and the man who succeeded him.

Mike Brock writes an excellent piece on the "Institution of the Citizen", what occurred to bring us all to this dark moment, and what we must all do to turn the tide and restart free democracy for the next generation. A worthy read: open.substack.com/pub/mikebroc...

If any appellate court strikes down this order on interlocutory appeal, any judge who signs a stay should be added to the impeachment list. Just to be clear.

Trump sorted the opportunists into plain view. They thought they'd won, so they took off the masks. Posted the receipts themselves. When the accounting comes, we won't need to dig.

I choose to come to the defense of Mr. Walz and his words.

I've been sent video from the end of the ICE raid at the Zipps on 32nd and Shea. It shows protesters -- on the sidewalk, impeding no one -- getting drive-by maced by an ICE agent from a truck as it rolls away down the road. Hard to see how such tactics are justifiable.

We are proud to introduce Whiskey Everyday with Joseph Goebbels

Exactly right. Bovino's leaving? Great, get Noem to resign. Noem resigns? Great, defund and dismantle ICE. Go after Stephen Miller too. Bring charges against ICE thugs at the state and local level. Lawsuits. New state laws restricting them. Every possible angle.

Wow

Don't let them make Bovino the fall guy. This is on the entire administration. They all did this.

This proves they're scared. This is the time to double down.

💯

ICE murdered Renée Good in broad daylight. Less than 3 weeks later, they killed Alex Pretti, shooting him 10 times. Every day, we watch as people are ripped from their cars, their homes, their lives. We can't allow ourselves to look away from this cruelty. Abolish ICE.

It is a time for remembering.

I'm now pamphleteering. Hence, the new title style on Notes from the Circus

Advance, America. Grab the inertia and push.

Must read. "Exit. That is the key word. That is what they want. Not exit as in emigration. Not exit as in leaving one country for another. Exit as in departure from the very concept of democratic constraint. Exit from the principle that the people have any right to govern

Because some things must be said. www.notesfromthecircus.com/p/the-crisis...

The Free Press put out a piece calling out Noem's lies about Alex Pretti's murder, and the comment section is absolutely furious.

Might as well!

Might as well!
