Listen, I have seen many a posts to the tune of "Hozier is a fae god!" Or "Florence is a fae god!" And I am here to tell you that neither of them are fae gods. Paramours, probably, maybe members of an Entourage, but gods? No.
You want to know who an actual fucking fae god is???
Kendrick Lamar.
The pettiness. The creativity. The persuasiveness. The accuracy. He had 110 million people across the nation today singing "a minooooor" like it was fucking nothing. This man has cast a thousand-year curse on Aubrey Graham's bloodline that cannot be undone through mortal means.
The Billionaire's Plot for Ending Democracy Is Already in Motion
This isn’t the usual content, but we recently came across some information and felt compelled to research and share as widely as possible:
The Butterfly Revolution: A Roadmap to Corporate Authoritarianism
🚨 The lesser-known companion piece to Project 2025 that paints a more complete picture of what Trump and Musk are doing—and where we're headed.
It’s authored by Curtis Yarvin, a name unfamiliar to some but deeply influential in elite tech circles and the Trump Administration.
🚨 Yarvin is a close friend and political guru to Vice President Vance, who has openly cited him as an influence and espouses his ideas.
Billionaires have been talking about Yarvin’s political philosophy for years—referencing it in private forums, fanatical social media accounts, podcasts, and tech industry events.
His framework has been cited by sitting senators and policy architects who openly discuss his vision for the future in blogs, interviews, and private summits.
The vision? Destroy democracy, replace it with corporate-led fiefdoms, and eliminate any possibility of returning to representative governance.
🐌 Project 2025 is the slow, legal route to authoritarian control.
🔥 The Butterfly Revolution is its accelerationist counterpart—designed to gut the administrative state irreversibly.
💰 The billionaire class isn’t just talking about it—they’re funding it.
🚨 The Butterfly Revolution is already underway.
See the roadmap below:
Yarvin’s Vision vs. Reality: What’s Happening Now
1. Install a CEO-President
“Trump himself will not be the brain of this butterfly. He will not be the CEO. He will be the chairman of the board—he will select the CEO (an experienced executive)...The CEO he picks will run the executive branch without any interference from the Congress or courts, probably also taking over state and local governments.” — Curtis Yarvin, The Butterfly Revolution
“What Trump is going to do is to build this regime-in-exile or occupation authority as a private… institution—a larva. By winning a Presidential election, he will then install it in office.” — Curtis Yarvin, The Butterfly Revolution
📌 What’s Happening Now:
Musk now exerts more direct control over federal infrastructure than any cabinet member while avoiding the disclosure, ethics, and congressional nomination process generally required of a cabinet-level position.
DOGE has also been granted broad authority, with virtually no transparency, security screening, or guardrails to prevent conflicts of interest. Many have expressed concern and bewilderment about Musk’s outsized role, wondering why Trump would cede so much power to Musk, but this autonomy is a hallmark of Yarvin’s CEO-president.
🚨 Musk isn’t just an advisor. He’s governing.
2. Dismantle the U.S. Government and Centralize Power
“A government is just a corporation which owns a country. Nothing more, nothing less. It so happens that our sovereign corporation is very poorly managed, and there’s a very simple way to replace that, which is what we do at all corporations that have failed. We simply delete them.” — Curtis Yarvin in an interview on The Rachel Maddow Show
“As a butterfly, the new regime’s authority in every field will be inescapable. Since no field today is independent of power, old power can only be displaced by new power.” — Curtis Yarvin, The Butterfly Revolution
📌 What’s Happening Now:
Musk’s DOGE was established via executive order to advise agencies on efficiency and technology but has far exceeded this mandate. DOGE has moved from “advising” to dissolving entire agencies (starting with USAID), withholding congressionally appropriated funds, and infiltrating at least 18 other agencies and departments.
Over 17 Inspectors General—government watchdogs responsible for oversight—have been fired or forced out, eroding independent checks on financial and legal misconduct.
🚨 The government is being hollowed out from the inside.
3. Ignore the Courts
“Congress and the judiciary should serve ceremonial roles, nothing more. The executive must be unchallenged." — Curtis Yarvin, The Butterfly Revolution
“I think that what Trump should do, if I was giving him one piece of advice: Fire every single mid-level bureaucrat, every civil servant in the administrative state, replace them with our people. And when the courts stop you…stand before the country, like Andrew Jackson, and say, ‘the chief justice has made his ruling. Now let him enforce it.” – JD Vance in a podcast interview in 2021
📌 What’s Happening Now:
Trump entered office issuing blatantly unconstitutional executive orders, including ending birthright citizenship and freezing congressionally appropriated funds.
Musk’s DOGE moved to slash and defund congressionally approved departments, agencies, and funding.
While federal judges have moved to temporarily block these actions, it appears the administration will once again follow Yarvin’s playbook and ignore the courts.
Vance, who has expressed a willingness to bypass the courts in the past, is echoing this sentiment again, challenging the court’s long-standing authority to rein in executive power.
🚨 Trump is threatening a constitutional crisis without modern precedent. If he continues to follow Yarvin’s playbook, we can expect Trump to ignore the many judicial challenges he’s facing. If the Supreme Court attempts to stop him, Yarvin would have him declare a state of emergency to achieve his objectives.
What Comes Next: Complete Corporate Takeover and the Erosion of Sovereignty
1. Dismantling Legacy Press and Higher Learning Institutions
"...mainly journalism, academia and social media… The new regime must seize all points of power, without respect for paper protections. Anything can be nationalized—so long as the new regime has the staff, the prize crew as it were, to nationalize it." — Curtis Yarvin, The Butterfly Revolution
“You can’t continue to have a Harvard or a New York Times past since perhaps the start of April” – Curtis Yarvin, podcast interview with Michael Anton
📌 What’s Happening Now:
Musk has weaponized Twitter/X to dominate news narratives. Since acquiring the platform, he has
fired key investigative teams, including key members responsible for U.S. elections, content moderation, and public policy
suppressed dissenting voices and stripped departments dedicated to tracking misinformation and enforcing rules against harmful content.
Meta has pulled its fact-checking program, further opening the door for unregulated political misinformation.
University funding is being systematically stripped:
Federal grants for academic institutions are being revoked or redirected toward private, right-wing think tanks aligned with Project 2025.
Programs on climate science, racial equity, and democratic governance are being cut, reinforcing authoritarian ideologies in higher education.
Efforts to defund NPR, PBS, and other independent media outlets are underway:
Congress has been pressured to cut federal subsidies to public broadcasting.
Right-wing media conglomerates are consolidating control over traditional media, ensuring that billionaire-backed narratives dominate.
🚨 A coordinated effort is underway to eliminate independent journalism, silence academic dissent, and replace traditional media with propaganda arms.
2. Creating a National Police Force
“I’m federalizing the police. I’m establishing direct control over all police departments, the military, of course, it goes without saying, the National Guard. And all of this is happening at a moment when every Trump supporter is in the street.” – Curtis Yarvin in a podcast interview with Jim Rutt
“...within a week, every law enforcement officer in America is wearing a red armband to show that he follows the new President’s direct, unconditional command." – Curtis Yarvin in a podcast interview with Jim Rutt
📌 What’s Happening Now:
The administration has granted immigration-enforcement authority to agencies within the Justice Department, such as the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA), the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF), and the U.S. Marshals Service.
The administration has halted agreements that required reforms of police departments where the Justice Department found patterns of abuse. This move reduces federal oversight and aligns with a more centralized approach to law enforcement.
Trump has repeatedly suggested deploying the National Guard and active-duty military to respond to domestic protests and civil unrest.
In June 2020, he threatened to invoke the Insurrection Act to deploy military forces if states did not take sufficient action to quell protests.
More recently, he has proposed using the National Guard against what he describes as "radical-left lunatics," indicating a willingness to employ military force against domestic political opponents.
🚨 These developments indicate a concerted effort to centralize law enforcement authority under the executive branch, echoing Yarvin's proposals for consolidating power and diminishing local autonomy.
3. Gaza Inc
“But—what if the Gazans left, but still owned the property? Or stock in a company, run by slick Arab MIT graduates, with the right to develop the strip as a new Israeli city? The LA or Vegas of Southern Israel? Perhaps the “international community” could even get an equity slice, for brokering the deal? That could even fund the 401(k)s of the aid administrators in UNRWA. They’ll need to eat somehow once their problem is solved.” — Curtis Yarvin, “Clearpill yourself on Gaza”
📌 Yarvin’s Future:
Yarvin proposes replacing traditional democratic governance with a corporate model, where private interests control governance rather than elected officials. This aligns with his broader philosophy, which advocates for centralized, corporate-style authority.
This vision parallels Donald Trump’s 2025 proposal to displace Gaza’s population and redevelop the territory into a luxury destination under U.S. control.
Separation of “Blood and Soil”: Yarvin argues that if the elimination of the Palestinian people is not an option, then the people must be separated from their land.
Yarvin suggests Palestinians could be relocated while Gaza is redeveloped into a high-value economic hub. This approach treats land as a financial asset rather than a cultural or national heritage.
This vision assumes that Palestinians would accept financial compensation (e.g., equity in the new Gaza) in exchange for relinquishing political control and physical presence.
The proposal suggests a profit-driven approach to governance where Palestinians are displaced and without political power.
📌 What’s Happening Now:
Trump’s Gaza Plan
The Trump administration has explored privatizing Gaza under a “special economic zone” model, aiming to transform it into the “Riviera of the Middle East.” This plan emphasizes real estate development and luxury tourism, echoing Yarvin’s vision.
Key Overlaps:
Depopulation: Both plans prioritize removing Gaza’s Palestinian population, framing it as a pragmatic solution to the conflict.
Economic Reimagining: Gaza is treated as a financial asset—Yarvin’s “GAZA stock” or Trump’s “Riviera of the Middle East.”
Anti-Democratic Pragmatism: Rejects humanitarian or diplomatic norms in favor of transactional, efficiency-driven governance.
🚨 Yarvin’s vision for Gaza, echoed in Trump’s proposals, prioritizing corporate control and economic development over democratic processes and human rights. This approach seeks to transform Gaza into a high-value hub at the expense of its current inhabitants.
Final Warning: This Isn’t a Reform—It’s a Full Government Takeover
💰 Billionaires aren’t just influencing policy; they’re rewriting governance itself, ensuring that the future belongs to financial stakeholders, not citizens.
This is not speculation—it’s unfolding right now. If Trump successfully follows through with Yarvins plan, we can expect:
✔ Elections to become obsolete as billionaires consolidate control over media, universities, and the institutions meant to hold power accountable.
✔ Independent journalism and higher education will disappear, replaced by right-wing think tanks and tech-backed propaganda arms.
✔ Entire regions are privatized, governed not by elected representatives but by corporate boards deciding who gets rights—and who doesn’t.
✔ A nationalized police force that assimilates all state and local law enforcement agencies in favor of one that enforces the administration’s agenda, as opposed to the laws.
✔ Citizenship is redefined, not as a birthright or legal status, but as a financial investment in a "network state" controlled by the ultra-wealthy.
🚨 This is not a bipartisan issue—it’s an existential one. The question is no longer if democracy survives but whether we’re willing to fight for it. The corporate coup has already begun. What happens next depends on us.
🔥 This is the future being built right now. The only question now is: Who will stop it?

do you have recommendations for Black artists who make hyperpop? I really like SOPHIE and Charli XCX and I’d love to find more musicians with similar styles
Hyperpop has always been a genre that is DIY and willing to push musical boundaries. That independence began with its rise in popularity in
I didn't know Rico Nasty did hyper pop! I thought she was just rock.
Dudes healthcare is so fake. My ADHD meds are $940 without insurance. But they gave me a website of "coupons" which straight up looks like a scam website, and I got it today for $60! Just a coupon from a random website and it was $900 cheaper. America, I am confusion!! America explain!!
as a pharmacy technician i can share with you some websites that give you those "coupons" for your meds!
goodrx is the most well known one, but if i'm trying to find the cheapest price for a patient i compare it to scriptcycle, and use whichever is offering the best price. you just type in the medication (PLEASE make sure you're getting the right drug, dosage, and quantity) and your zip code and they will spit out some offers for you
some pharmacies may have their own discount card to compare to as well!
if you are getting a name brand medication, you can also look at the manufacturer's website to see if they offer any evouchers for you to use too
Hey everyone, I know it's going to be a busy day for a lot of people, but Google enrolled everyone over 18 into their AI program automatically.
If you have a google account, first go to gemini.google.com/extensions and turn everything off.
Then you need to go to myactivity.google.com/product/gemini and turn off all Gemini activity tracking. You do have to do them in that order to make sure it works.
Honestly, I'm not sure how long this will last, but this should keep Gemini off your projects for a bit.
I saw this over on bluesky and figured it would be good to spread on here. It only takes a few minutes to do.
"But if we resort to violence we're just as bad as them!"
One man did with 3 bullets what decades of peaceful protesting failed to do. It sent a message. For the first time in decades, the ruling class was afraid.
And now, barely 3 months later, things are back as they were. Not because Luigi's act of violence wasn't effective, but because it was forgotten as a one-off thing and treated as a trend. People Idolized him for his actions but not for the reason they were done.
One man's act of violence was enough to shake the foundations on which this country is built, the rot that had eaten away the hearts and minds of the people had been pushed back, and for the first time, there was clarity in the minds of everyone. There was no Left or Right, there was simply the Working VS the Ruling.
One man was enough to cause the closest this country has ever come to class consciousness, to solving real problems. Imagine ten, a hundred, a thousand more just like him.
"Rule #1: Believe the autocrat. He means what he says. Whenever you find yourself thinking, or hearing others claiming, that he is exaggerating, that is our tendency to reach for a rationalization. This will happen often: Humans seem to have evolved to practice denial when confronted publicly with the unacceptable."
For some reason the versions of this where he gives two salutes is being deleted and replaced with a version with a quick cut to a cheering crowd so I’ll just share it here 🙃
Okay so we have this huge problem with forgetting about everything that’s happened by the time the next election rolls around so I’d like to keep a running list of things as they’re happening to help remind us when the 2026 midterms roll around. And please add to this if I’ve missed anything.
