ICE Just Paid Palantir Tens of Millions for ‘Complete Target Analysis of Known Populations’
The records show that Palantir is actively working on the technical infrastructure underpinning the Trump administration’s mass deportation efforts which could soon impact U.S. citizens.

Instead of pirating books like Meta, please be like my friend’s dog Camille and buy books so that queer people like me can continue to write them!

It would really help me out if you bought a copy of my debut novel. Here’s the link to do so at Barnes & Noble: www.barnesandnoble.com/w/but-how-ar...

Stand up, fight back! Today I stood with hundreds of academic workers and allies to protect the precious resources and jobs that enable scientific exploration and quality health care. By cutting NIH funding, Trump aims to destroy the foundation of America’s research enterprise and sow chaos.

🚨 BREAKING: The @aflcio.org, EPI, and four major unions have filed an injunction against DOGE and the Trump-appointed Acting Sec of Labor. They’re seeking a temporary restraining order to keep Musk’s minions out of the DOL’s data. More at @inthesetimesmag.bsky.social inthesetimes.com/article/elon...

As a former Hill staffer, some advice: you need a good ASK. MoCs want constituents to feel heard but don't want to do anything new. Bad asks are vague, not time-bound, not verifiable. "Support human rights!" "Oppose Trump!" The Member will say they agree with you and do nothing. Here's a good ask:

Elon Musk's mother moved to South Africa in the year Apartheid was created, and she and Elon left the year it ended. The last Apartheid Prime Minister, a man who refused to testify at the Truth and Reconciliation Committee, was a family friend who stayed at their home. This is not a crazy theory.

What’s his beef against USAID in particu….oh. Wow.
X post: Elon Musk @elonmusk We spent the weekend feeding USAID into the wood chipper. Could gone to some great parties. Did that instead. U.S. policy was to help bring an end to apartheid and establish a nonracial, democratic government. In response to this policy and the Act, USAID/South Africa was responsible for financing projects that apartheid victims viewed as critical in promoting social, political, and economic change through peaceful means. The mission enabled community consultation and ensured that the United States did not impose foreign-defined solutions to local problems. USAID created projects and activities to respond to the priorities of the black community and its leaders, maximized black participation and leadership, and ensured activities had a linkage to the general objectives of U.S. policy. First-year funding for the program was $25 million, which was raised to $50 million the second year. The main project areas were community outreach and leadership development to redress the repression of black-led institutions; educational support and training to address the educational crisis in South Africa; black private enterprise development to combat the inhibiting effects of apartheid–induced discrimination in private enterprise; university grants to help create a new generation of economic and political leaders; human rights; legal assistance; labor union training; and health and nutrition

"meticulous editorial standards" "fact-checking"

I mean, if you're going to lie, be bold about it I guess.

Substack choosing Bari Weiss's The Free Press as its official partner for a relaunch tells you everything you need to know about the values of Substack's leadership. I'm begging the writers I love to move their newsletters off Substack.

Source: on.substack.com/p/the-new-me...
We view The Free Press as an ideal partner for this initiative because of its longstanding presence on Substack, which extends back to its founding in early 2021, and because of its commitment to pursuing high-integrity journalism. The Free Press is old school in the best way, with meticulous editorial standards that it upholds through in-depth reporting, fact-checking, editing, original photography, and more. The Free Press, like Substack, is also dedicated to a business model based on subscriptions.
