Palantir's CEO published a manifesto arguing Western tech firms have a "moral debt" to US military dominance, that AI weapons are inevitable, and that "some cultures are dysfunctional." This isn't just a regularly evil tech or defence contractor, it’s a fascist political project.
Any candidate that takes money from Palantir should not receive your vote.
Co-founder Joe Lonsdale is pouring millions into a PAC to buy off Democrats, especially in California.

That we don't even look into whether a "red flag" or other such law would have diminished the probability of such an event compounds the horror. The Trump administration has actively campaigned against scientific inquiry regarding gun violence thus precluding intelligent gun legislation.
Officials who warned about Russian interference are being treated as the threat, even facing potential criminal charges. At the same time, people adjacent to Russian-aligned propaganda and influence channels are being handed power to investigate them.

Was Lori Chavez-DeRemer trying to turn the Department of Labor into a bordello? Since she has resigned, she won't have to answer questions from the inspector general about what she meant when she told young women who worked for her that they needed to pay close attention to her father and husband.

Say what you will about the worst members of the Roberts Court, but they all make sure their wives are in on the grift.
Jane Roberts, Martha Alito and Ginni Thomas are equal partners with their husbands in the grand project of destroying the United States and enriching themselves in the process.
Doubt it. Even if their voters turn on Trump, they will still vote for the R no matter what.
Americans are too uninformed. They don’t know the entire Republican Party is their enemy. They do not understand that the entire party is doing the bidding of the world’s most evil and dangerous people. Americans are so so backwards.
For our May + June 2026 issue, Mother Jones explores the roots and reach of Silicon Valley’s biggest merger ever and the implications of Big Tech’s quest for an AI revolution, which is already upending our world.
When I covered Trump's tariffs, I discovered that orange crops have cratered in FL.
This explains all the reasons--disease, climate change, overspraying, finance--why.

What a deal. Taxpayers got screwed by tariffs now they foot the bill for reimbursing the corporations.
What a shit country.
BAD ACTORS SUPPORTING-FASCISM FT. - DEFENSE CONTRACTORS 2024 Defense Revenue, in Billions Lockheed Martin $64.65 RTX $40.60 Northrop Grumman $35.20 General Dynamics $33.65 Boeing $32.68 While Americans struggle with rising costs, the big five U.S. defense contractors are cashing in on a record $1.5 trillion military budget. This is a dangerous alliance about money and control. Under the 2026 "Prioritizing the Warfighter" Executive Order, the Trump admin has nationalized corporate decision-making, trading massive tax-funded contracts for control over production.
KATHY WARDEN, CEO OF NORTHROP GRUMMAN CLUB D. C THE Br THE ECONOMIC CLe THE ECONOMIC CLUE WASHINGTON • EcoNoMIC CuB THE ECONOMIC C c CLU ON D. COT • Northrop Grumman produces military and aerospace technologies. • Warden has aligned Northrop directly with Trump's May 2025 Nuclear Industrial Base Executive Order. This policy allows her to bypass traditional environmental reviews and local oversight to accelerate nuclear production. • Her involvement promotes a system where national security is used as a legal shield to strip Americans of their right to challenge industrial expansion in their own backyards.
JIM TAICLET, CEO OF LOCKHEED MARTIN * BARCLATS • Taiclet oversees a $194 billion backlog and just signed a framework to triple missile production. • Taiclet is the face of the Golden Dome for America initiative, the admin's high-tech missile shield project. He has publicly praised the Department of War's "innovative reforms" that prioritize speed over regulatory red tape. • By integrating Lockheed's proprietary tech into the Homeland Defense Mission, Taiclet is helping build a surveillance and defense infrastructure that is entirely state-dependent and largely shielded from public audit or oversight.

In 2026, she was named Chair of the Aerospace Industries Association (AIA). • Her dual role as CEO and top industry lobbyist gives her direct access to Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth. She has leveraged this to secure a $2.3 billion Columbia-class submarine contract while the admin slashes social safety nets. • She personifies the revolving door between the intelligence community and private war-profiteering, ensuring that the U.S.'s appetite for war remains a permanent, profitable necessity.
While Americans struggle with inflation, the big five U.S. defense contractors are cashing in on a record $1.5 trillion military budget.
The executives exposed are the primary enablers of a fascist regime that prioritizes war-making and war-making profit over human lives.

Trump's illegal war on Iran could cost American taxpayers $1 TRILLION.
This won't just be our bill, costs will be passed onto the next generation.
Rather than meet the true day-to-day needs of Americans, we're funding death and destruction, defense contractor payouts & redundant weapons systems.

Meta just paid the lowest effective federal tax rate in its history.
Thanks to tax breaks and loopholes, it avoided $13.7B in 2025 federal income taxes.
But now it's planning to lay off 10% of its global workforce (8,000 people) by May 20 — with more job cuts later this year.
Trickle down hoax.
