Dear ,
It’s official — Trump’s Big Bad Bill was signed into law last Friday, selling out our communities to usher in the largest wealth transfer to billionaires in our lifetime.
This colossal package will invest billions into ICE’s information tech, biometric surveillance and screening tech at the border, and renewed contracts with Big Tech corporations like Anduril and Palantir. All these investments are being made into increased state surveillance while stripping millions from Medicaid coverage and cutting SNAP among other essential government services.

Our Senior Learning Specialist, Jai Dulani, details how this package sells out our people to satisfy Big Tech lobbyists who profit off of surveillance, deportations, and militarization in Tech Policy Press. Read the full op-ed to dive into the investments in tech infrastructure this law will dump into U.S. defense agencies.

While the Trump administration welcomes Big Tech’s corporate takeover in our government, our communities are doing the work to protect our most vulnerable and fight back against the Big Tech Broligarchy.
That’s why we hosted our WTF: The Rise of the Tech Broligarchy political education series, featuring comrades across our movements to call out the collusion between Big Tech and our government while highlighting the ways our communities are organizing against them.
In times of anger, grief, and despair, we must continue sharing resources, building power, mobilizing our people, and fighting back against the current authoritarian regime. The path ahead won’t be easy, but we’re committed to building the terrain necessary to resist the Tech Broligarchy — and we hope to have you with us.
In collective solidarity,
MediaJustice
