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.
Alt text: Screenshot of a post on X (formerly Twitter) by Abdulkhaleq Abdulla (@Abdulkhaleq_UAE), with a verified badge. The post reads: “This is what I told Reuters today: The UAE no longer needs America to defend it, as it has proven during the Iranian aggression that it is capable of defending itself with distinction. What the UAE needs is to acquire only the best and latest weapons that America has. Therefore, it is time to think about closing the American bases, as they are a burden and not a strategic asset.” The post is labeled “Translated from Arabic by Grok” and shows a timestamp of 10:21 AM · 4/19/26 with 139K views.
NEW: UAE scholar Abdulkhaleq Abdulla says the UAE no longer needs U.S. protection, calling American bases a “burden, not a strategic asset” and suggesting they should be closed. The United States’ standing in the region has been obliterated.
Amidst the celebration, should we be concerned that the new leader was an ally of his until 2024? I know I’m being ignorant, but am I being too skeptical?
Accountability for war crimes. Dream into it, beloved community.
I love that Trump is bragging about the U.S. military subduing an Iranian cargo ship. Great job! The largest military in the world somehow disabled an unarmed, slow ship that was carrying stuff. Interesting flex.
No green flash!
If you have been looking for a way to volunteer and you are on your computer a lot, I might have your solution!

There is no end to the trump crime family corruption.
Sneaky move
"The sanctions repeal was inserted into the must-pass piece of legislation that authorizes nearly $1 trillion in annual Pentagon spending, two pages inside a 1,260-page law."
My opponent, Chris Pappas, took over $2.7 million from AIPAC to serve the interests of a foreign government. I will never take a cent from AIPAC because I serve the people, not special interests. #nhpolitics
Americans got this memo in 2020. Now they need to get the memo that the mirror version also applies, so centrists don’t pull another NYC stunt.
Thank you for voting no! Keep standing strong!
Graphic: 8 major banks walked away from the private prison industry in 2019. Citizens DIDN’T.
We closed our account at Citizens in December over their immoral financing of ICE’s cruel & unusual detention camps.
Join a week of action starting NOW!

French Senator: “Trump is the only elephant in the world that walks around with his own China shop” 🤣🤣🤣
The grift never ends. Most corrupt regime in history
that beep beep beep sound you hear is the president and his family backing a truck up to the US treasury...

We should be learning from other countries...
ICE agent Gregory Donnell Morgan Jr. was charged on April 16, 2026, with two counts of second-degree felony assault in Hennepin County, Minnesota.
Last summer, a small group of Trump appointees began convening at DHS headquarters. The group — which once called itself “Team America” — looked for levers it could pull to help Trump exert greater federal control over voting.
This keeps happening
This just failed.
An ICE Agent Is Finally Being Held Accountable. There Must Be More Accountability.
There's an arrest warrant for an ICE agent charged w pointing his weapon at 2 individuals who were simply driving on the highway. We need politicians to step up & prosecute.

Lucia was transported to an emergency room in shackles — only after losing enough blood to need a transfusion. Read her story and learn about Citizens Bank’s role in financing private ICE detention. #deicecitizensbank www.de-icecitizensbank.org/impact/lucia
also this is almost certainly a thing—whether you connect to a VPN in Venezuela or Vermont. remember, there are (probably) lots of foreigners connecting to US based VPNs. With encrypted traffic, the NSA can claim a presumption of foreignness.
A photo of a tray with three sections empty. One has chopped carrot in it. The other has what can only be described as a posit of brown dog vomit and an insole liner of a sneaker (or a used panty liner from the mid 1700s). The kind of meal that would have you happily tossing yourself overboard.
NEW: Growing fears of food shortages on USS Tripoli & other US ships in the Middle East.
This photo is the kind of meals now being served. It was sent by a sailor to her family.
Families are now trying to send food parcels to the ships.

I sure hope that means you won’t vote for FISA surveillance of all of us.
A child’s drawing of a hand with sad face and a cat, along with Spanish text translated below in English, below which reads: A letter obtained by ProPublica from a child detained at CoreCivic's Dilley, Texas ICE facility.

Handwriting on lined paper reading: I couldn't walk to the medical. No one checked on me until 2pm, when I was wheelchaired to medical, only to be seen by a nurse who told me "I can't help you. Go and come back if you still have pain in 3 days". I told her I could't even walk. I cried and begged her to help me, yet all she did was send me to the waitingroom. I then fell to my hands and Knees and threw up in side the waiting room. It was only then that I was taken seriously and transferred to a nearby ER, It was chly then that I was given proper medication, it was already 4pm, more than 7 hours after my pain had started I had to wait till 11pm after that
A colorful background photo of many children outside with large letters reading: Hey CoreCivic & Citizens Bank: Children don’t belong in prisons.
ICE has detained more than 6,200 children in CoreCivic and GEO Group ICE facilities since 2025. Citizens Bank still profits from financing their crimes. @propublica.org revealed these kids’ stories through art. #DeICECitizensBank #AbolishICE #AbolishForProfitPrisons @de-icecitizensbank.org

Eight major banks walked away from private prison companies in 2019. Citizens Bank didn't. @CitizensBank continues to back GEO Group & CoreCivic, which runs the Dilley, TX ICE prison holding children.
