The most disturbing 16 minutes of a very disturbing week so far. It brings it all into focus. The DC clowns are a distraction, brologarchs are the more dangerous enemy within. #handsoff our data now.
Palantir just officially got the IRS contract to create "fully operational mapping of IRS infrastructure."

The same tech being used for the military 'kill chain' is going to be analyzing your financial information.

Just of four of today's headlines.

Make no mistake: This is not, at its core, about illegal immigration or border enforcement.

This is the federal government conducting a deliberate and nationwide campaign of white supremacist terror.

The only appropriate response to this is impeachment and removal from office. Every moment the political press spends spinning out theories about 2026 and immigration polling is a minute they are not spending asking Republicans in Congress about their plans to enforce the rule of law

A 14-year-old American boy and his two friends were gunned down by Israeli soldiers Sunday night.

Their largely American village in the West Bank is wondering why Trump and the U.S. government have said so little about the killing of one of its citizens.
American teen was killed by Israeli soldiers in the West Bank. The U.S. has said little about it.
“We have a U.S. citizen, a child, who was murdered in cold blood,” one official told NBC News. “Why should we not be treated equally as any other American?”

They’ll do it in a few high profile cases to set examples. People will say, “No way this holds up in court.” Maybe. But we now know the plan: they’ll do it first, then dare the courts to stop them. And this too will be very difficult for courts to undo. This is end of democracy stuff.

Trump signed an executive order calling for the DOJ to investigate Chris Krebs, who headed the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Agency (CISA).

All Krebs did was tell the truth about the 2020 election, including that voting machines didn’t flip votes.

For that, he was fired and now investigated.
