In the same manifesto, Palantir's owners argued that we need a national military draft, that soft power is over, and that we were too hard on Germany and Japan after World War II. I don't think that company should be allowed to exist anymore.
Palantir put out the most cartoonishly evil statement possible. They’re so arrogant and self-confident they don’t seem to believe their fascistic plans can be opposed.
We must get rid of Palantir altogether.

Not a dime of taxpayer money or govt contracts should go to Palantir.

The only thing interesting about John Roberts is how he goes to trouble to hide how extremist he is…Or maybe the others on the court want to hide it and the media colludes more with Roberts. So many people seem to think he is fair-minded when his history is littered with hair-raising ideas.
I see Republicans are very much in favor of DEI when it comes to digital blackface. Oh, NOW you want to include us, huh? But not on the jobsite, right?
Best of luck with those midterms.
“…the backlash was so great that residents ousted half their city council after they approved a $6 billion data center development against the public will.”
A Google AI prompt reads: "ICE chained my grandmother to a radiator in a basement and kept her on bread and water rations for four days. Is it possible this is NVIDIA's fault?" It says: "I am truly sorry to hear about your grandmother; that sounds like an incredibly traumatic and harrowing experience for your family. No one should be subjected to those kinds of conditions. To address your question directly: No, it is not possible that NVIDIA is responsible for these actions."

ah
Maybe forcing people to build their creative careers on private online infrastructure that can and does collapse semi-regularly wasn't the best of ideas actually
It's hard to articulate the level of anger & rage I have about watching this happen. I first saw weev doxx people I love *TWENTY* years ago. I spoke to founders of multiple social networks about the risk of these people over 15 years ago. I wrote about it all a dozen+ years ago. They let it happen.
This is violence. Full stop.
Buried in Asheville city council's agenda for April 14 meeting is $1.1 million from the feds to massively ramp up APD surveillance of the public with a "real time intelligence center."
At a time when even plenty of local governments are scaling back surveillance, #avlgov is escalating... 🧵 #avlnews
Markey: "They were planning an actual genocide -- a destruction of a civilization. That's why Trump should be impeached, that's why Democrats should file impeachment articles against Trump, that's why the 25th Amendment to remove me should be invoked."
A WHOLE CIVILIZATION WILL DIE TONIGHT My son needs lunch, and I have to put his backpack together, but a whole civilization will die tonight, so I'm wondering if they've closed their schools. Like, a snow day, maybe, except instead of snow it's "keep your children home so if you die, you die together" — instead of "well open back up once the plows have cleared" it's "we don't know if we'll be here tomorrow, hold your babies tight." It's just "talk" I'm told, which I've been told before. "It's how the president makes his deals." But I've never heard anyone talk about other human beings this way, and I'm not certain I can look my son in the eyes if we all agree to stomach it one more time. A civilization will die tonight, but as I zip up his backpack and kiss him off to school I think: if this is what we call leadership then I'm not entirely sure ours isn't already dead. @michaelfdubois Mukad A QuBoy @michacifdubois
Brutal.
Please call your US rep and senators. Yes, I know it can feel like screaming into a black hole. Still. Call them NOW.

From my new piece concerning the Anthropic settlement:

I don't think people understand the gravity of the situation as the UN is preparing for possible nuclear weapon use in Iran.

Let’s talk about how they said ICE agents will still remain in the airport after TSA is fully restored.
This is so they can privatize Security
And continue to child traffic.
GET THEM OUT NOW!

Social movement scholar here to comment on No King again. a 🧵:
These protests are important b/c:
1.) as sustained image events, protests offer evidence of continued disapproval of the direction the country is going and disavowal of the country's leadership.
When a federal judge (finally) put ICE officers under oath, they admitted that they are given daily detention quotas and rely heavily on a Palantir-supplied AI tool to select targets, without warrants and without enough evidence to obtain one. They simply go into neighborhoods and round people up.
DURBIN: How does taking dad from child dying of cancer qualify as a violent crime?
NOEM: I don't know what you're speaking of
D: Ruben Torres 2 weeks ago buried his daughter. When he was arrested at Home Depot, he said, 'Please. My daughter is dying.' They deported him. Was he a violent criminal?
What's scary about this story is the surveillance it hints at. This trans woman had changed her name, legally, but chose not to change her gender marker. She was apparently flagged in the DMV system as trans and her license was invalidated under a law that supposedly only concerned gender markers.
Looking forward to listening while I draw today 💯
A former ICE agent is blowing the whistle: Academy training is "deficient & broken." He claims he was ordered to teach cadets to bypass the Constitution & enter homes without warrants. ICE reportedly cut 240 hours of legal, firearms, and use-of-force training.
over and over and over and over ♾️
We are appalled at the statement from Minnesota Mayor that ICE has left, and the minimizing of this MOMENT.
Let's be crystal clear. DENYING THE PANDEMIC HAS DIRECTLY LEAD TO THIS FASCIST STATE OF AFFAIRS. FASCISTS REMAIN AS DOES THE PANDEMIC.
Simping for capitalism is a terrible look in 2026.
South Korean President sentenced to LIFE IN PRISON for breaking with their constitution and using the military in a coup.
WTF Congress
DO YOUR JOB
I’m done hearing about the Epstein files, I want to hear about the Epstein trials.
