Why is embedding Peter Thiel’s Palantir in the British army, navy & airforce a national security disaster? Well consider what happens when you ‘buy’ a Tesla.
You’re actually just renting the software. That can be turned off at any time.

Please save your “they’re exposing him” horseshit. This is laudatory hagiography. It’s precisely what Trump wanted, and by giving the Times access, Trump got his wish.

JONATHAN ROSS THREAD: 🧵 I think a certain # of women have seen the video from Ross’s cellphone showing the taunts that led to Renee’s murder.
And we feel in our bones that we’ve left immigration officer territory and entered domestic violence territory very quickly.

This is why the "two realities" discourse is so weak— and frequently propagandistic.
The Trump admin's PR operation is obvious – call Renee Nicole Good a "domestic terrorist" and repeat it very loudly and confidently – but the lack of evidence is also obvious. Where's the proof that she was "stalking" ICE officers? The lack of followup says a lot

Good time to follow Bellingcat, which has done crucial, dependable evidentiary work for many years
For those keeping score, Bellingcat, The New York Times Visual Investigation Team, & Washington Post's Visual Forensic team have all published analysis showing the ICE shooter wasn't in the path of Renee Nicole Good’s vehicle when he shot her, contradicting statements by the President & his cronies

The idea that we need to deport 100 million people - almost one out of every three Americans! - was, a year ago, a deranged claim you’d hear from neo-Nazis to give themselves permission for limitless mass violence. Now it’s coming directly from this horrific agency’s horrific press office

One of the things she handles is our health insurance. That means the monthly premium. The phone calls. The disputes. The endless back-and-forth when the same charge magically shows up twice.

So I have the cover story in next month's TNR.
I interviewed the heads of police groups; immigration defense attorneys, ex-judges and ex-prosecutors; former DOJ and DHS officials, and the former head of Border Patrol.
They're all horrified at what we've seen, and they all fear what's coming.
