Palantir Has a Human Rights Policy. Its ICE Work Tells a Different For years, EFF has pushed technology companies to make real human rights commitments—and to live up to them. In response to growing evidence that Palantir’s tools help power abusive immigration

Palantir touts its human rights policy. But its tools help ICE run dragnet raids, detain people with no criminal record, and retaliate against protesters. Legal boilerplate is not human rights due diligence. www.eff.org/deeplinks/2...

The DOJ was created to increase the capacity for federal prosecutions during Reconstruction esp. those to be brought under the newly enacted KuKlux Klan Act.

Now the DOJ is being used to prosecute a storied civil rights organization whose central mission has been to expose & dismantle the Klan.

Thirteen U.S. troops died trying to get these people to safety — Afghan interpreters, soldiers, and the families of our service members. Veterans spent sleepless nights during the chaotic withdrawal fighting to keep them alive. Now our own government is going to abandon them.

Texas can force Ten Commandments posters in public schools, appeals court rules In a 9–8 split, judges rejected church/state separation concerns and handed a major victory to religious conservatives

BREAKING: A federal appeals court says Texas can force public schools to display the Ten Commandments.

They said it DOESN'T violate the Establishment Clause and is NOT religious coercion. They're delusional.

This fight is heading to the Supreme Court.

Students' right to be free from religious indoctrination is protected by the Constitution.

We won't stop fighting.

The Tech Journalist Banned from Twitter for Criticizing Fascism, Palantir, & the Broligarchy

It’s not media cluelessness – it’s cowardice and complicity But there’s another word starting with “C” that describes some journalists: courage.

Confronted with an authoritarian president, the media can no longer claim cluelessness. The threat is obvious. Journalists can be cowardly, complicit or courageous. Unfortunately, the dinner hosts of the White House Correspondents’ Association are all out of courage.

900lb crates full of onions in a field

The Coachella music festival is in the news with the minimum price of sold out 3-day ticket costing $549. Contrast that with "Nicolas" who is currently harvesting onions in the Coachella area and getting paid $22 for a $900lb crate. #WeFeedYou #coachella2026

50501 BREAKING NEWS CONGRESS TEMPORARILY EXTENDS SECTION 702, WHICH THE FBI HAS USED TO SPY ON U.S. CITIZENS, FOR 10 DAYS AS REFORM DISCUSSIONS CONTINUE, REPRESENTATIVES FROM BOTH PARTIES COME TOGETHER AND REJECT TRUMP'S PROPOSED LONG-TERM EXTENSION WITHOUT REFORM. No Kings

Congress temporarily extended Section 702, which the FBI has used to spy on U.S. Citizens, for 10 Days.

As reform discussions continue, representatives from both parties came together to reject Trump’s proposed 18 month “clean reauthorization” (an extension without reform).

Coined a phrase awhile ago “reality fracking” & that’s what this is. As the easily exploited & profitable reality gets used up, you gotta reach into the weirder & harder to get places to extract value. Like fracked oil, it’s harder to get at, of questionable quality & purity, but the spice must flow

Research links heavy social media use not only to declines in mental health but to measurable cognitive effects — on attention, memory and focus — that in some studies resemble accelerated aging.

Voting on spy powers at 2am will definitely help with trust in the government!

Yes! More of this please.
Next we get rid of Jeffries.

Read that again. This Louisiana bill forces homeless people to choose between jail and "treatment"—and if they can't pay for the latter, they will be forced to perform unpaid labor.

The historical precedents are clear: convict leasing, Black Codes, debtor's prison.

Amazon will pay $20.5 million to settle allegations that two of its Oregon data centers helped contaminate groundwater.

This is exactly why communities across the country are organizing to stop data centers — and winning.

Never doubt your power to change the system.

A 91-year-old grandmother was reported unresponsive, prompting a welfare check by police. When officers arrived, they found her in her room, busy setting a new personal record on a video game.

"The rise of extreme wealth is one of the clearest signs of this imbalance. In 1987, billionaires held wealth equal to 3% of global GDP. Today this tiny elite, just 0.0001% of the world population, owns the equivalent of *16%* of world GDP in wealth."

Yes! @doggett.house.gov impeach him!
