Herregud! Peter Thiel är en techfascist och uttalad demokratimotståndare. Hans AI-spionbolag Palantir har hjälpt Israel begå folkmord i Gaza. Nu visar det sig att Palantir sitter på Polishuset i Stockholm och driver ett AI-datasystem som massövervakar svenskar

ICE are literally doing concentration camps, there's no denying it.
A family friend was telling us about what her husband shared about his experience in Broadview before he was deported back to Mexico. She's been sharing to friends and family because she's just in disbelief & horror what her husband told her. She wasn't able to talk to him until he was in Mexico.

I don’t know how we’ve gotten to the point where men in full balaclavas can abduct daycare teachers while they’re watching children.
But I do know that this isn’t sustainable. Abolish ICE. There is no way to reform this.

Immigration agents crashed into a U.S. citizen on her way to work—then dragged her out of her car and arrested her.
Her family couldn’t find her for hours.
She was later released without charges.

Somliga tror att Sverige har generösa bidrag. Men nej, lägre än i många jämförbara länder och har sänkts mer än de flesta.
Med nya a-kassan och sänkt försörjningsstöd lär vi sannolikt snart ligga lägst.
Om höga bidrag nu var problemet – borde vi då inte ha lägst arbetslöshet?
