New from 404 Media: here is the user guide for ELITE, the tool Palantir made for ICE. A map shows people on a map; ICE clicks them, brings up their dossier. ICE uses to find which neighborhoods to target. We obtained it, you can now read the document for yourself: www.404media.co/here-is-the-...
Here is the User Guide for ELITE, the Tool Palantir Made for ICE
404 Media is publishing a version of the user guide for ELITE, which lets ICE bring up dossiers on individual people and provides a “confidence score” of their address.

Breaking on MS NOW:

Career DOJ prosecutors in both Minnesota and Los Angeles refused to be involved in charging Don Lemon and the other journalists who covered the Minneapolis church protests.

The prosecutors believe the evidence does not support the charges, per @carolleonnig.bsky.social.

Just watching all of what's happening, on this app, irl and how real actual people are responding and entirely remaking their lives in war time and whatever happens, The Battle of Minnesota was joined by heroes.
And we all need to learn because it's going to take all of us.
It’s been weird living through a historic event because suddenly my everyday experience is of a lot of use to a lot of people who mostly know me as shitposting depressed Mariners fan. But I also want to make sure my friends don’t fuck this up.

There’s debate about talking to the press tonight. I’ve tried to explain that two things are happening on the ground. Offensive, observing ICE like what Will is doing, and defensive, helping vulnerable people. I am fine if offense talks to responsible press as long as they take precaution.

The IRS didn't stop my tax returns from leaking, which caused reporters to write FALSE stories about me. Send $10B plz.

This is the person to follow
The team from @theaircurrent is seeking more information on this statement from the President. A massive amount of the U.S. fleet of mainline, regional, helicopter and military aircraft are "made in Canada."

Q: Would do you say to those that are critical of the fact that Amazon paid $40 million to acquire the rights for this movie?

And people posting here has really made it clear.
I've sent some of these observations to people who aren't on here and they finally understand the scope !
One of the hardest things to explain to people who aren’t here is the very real feeling that we are in a war against the federal government. Not only are we occupied by unaccountable armed, masked paramilitaries, but we are constantly aware our neighbors might be abducted in the blink of an eye.
Was he actually approaching Minnesota as a regime change

Yeah, Reuters is reporting that ICE is now explicitly ordering agents to turn back whenever they see "agitators" like @whstancil.bsky.social, which logically means they can no longer abduct people at the presence of watchers and commuters
