Can we finally acknowledge the threat: Palantir, now placing white supremacist recruiting ads at US colleges, is the data-surveillance company founded by Peter Thiel, who groomed much of the US alt-right. Our VP is Thiel's obedient protege. Thiel's lieutenants hold IT spots across the government. 1/
You don’t have to be particularly sharp to decipher the code here.
But if you need someone to say it, this is a major technology company and a sizable defense and intelligence contractor publicly declaring, with only the thinnest patina of deniability, that its cause is white nationalism.

Dropping at select colleges today.

A moment of reckoning has
arrived for the West.
Our culture has fallen into shallow consumerism while abandoning national purpose. Too few in Silicon Valley have asked what ought to be built - and why.
We did.
We built Palantir to ensure America's future, not to tinker at the margins. On the factory floor, in the operating room, across the battlefield - we build to dominate.
Join us.

When people don't stand up to bad leadership, it's rarely because they don't care. It's often that they feel powerless.
Learned helplessness is the pattern of giving up when we learn that events in our lives are beyond our control.
The answer isn't to accept defeat. It's to find sources of power.

Iran declares its armed forces have readied missiles with the capability to strike US-related positions.
This report comes in response to Trump’s threats of “bombing the likes of which they have never seen before” if Tehran does not agree to a new nuclear agreement.

Coming up for air on a weekend of non-stop reporting on Social Security. Here’s what’s coming: Following a typical pattern, Trump and DOGE are breaking Social Security so they can say “Look, it’s all broken. Only we can fix it and the only way to fix it is to replace it.”

Trump is weak, compromised and corrupt. Even worse, he’s a traitor to America who’s shamelessly selling out our country to his puppet master Putin on a daily basis.
Any Republican in Congress who supports him at this point is just as much of a traitor. Fuck them all.
