Palantir now sues a Swiss magazine. But yeah let’s keep the lie alive that Trump’s America is a beacon of free speech ↘️
Der Konzern #Palantir geht gegen das Schweizer Magazin „Republik“ vor. Das hatte in Recherchen nachgezeichnet, warum die Systeme des Unternehmens problematisch für Staaten und deren Souveränität sind. Das Magazin will sich von der Klage nicht einschüchtern lassen.

For people like me, we look at Alex Pretti and think 'that could have been me'.

The US government could summarily execute me on the street for speaking out against them and excuse it by calling me a "domestic terrorist"

So when most European governments call this regime their ally, it is chilling.

En nog altijd is iedereen druk met ‘t ‘analyseren’ van Trump. Hou op, tis allang duidelijk wat hij doet. We moeten ons verhouden tot fascisme. En voorkomen dat dezelfde krachten ook hier nog verder terrein winnen

Dat laffe meebewegen met vreemdelingenhaat: hier leidt dat toe

🇨🇦PM Carney just schooled our cowardly European leaders at #Davos. This speech was clearly aimed at them:

"We must actively take on the world as it is, not wait around for a world we wish to be."

"What does it mean for middle powers to live the truth? First it means naming reality..." (🧵1/6)

Mark Carney gave the best speech at Davos by far. He understands the situation with clarity while others prevaricate, appease, and send late-night “Dear Donald” texts or call him “daddy.”

Motie aangenomen! ✅

Als Musk rijk wordt van onze data, dan mag hij ook netjes belasting betalen.

Maar nu betalen Amerikaanse techbro’s ons maar liefst €0 dienstenbelasting, die Europeanen wél betalen.

Onze motie bouwt een eerlijke belasting en laat Trump zien: we laten niet over ons heenlopen.

Yes, immigration agents not only took Arnoldo's phone, the 10th grader had to use Find My Phone to locate it — in a vending machine for used electronics, close to an ICE detention center.

George was just trying to get to work.

ICE pepper-sprayed him, dragged him from his car, locked him in a detention center, and placed him on suicide watch. He even missed his young daughter’s birthday in the process.

This man is a veteran and American citizen. Don't look away.
"They put me on suicide watch and they put me in the cell, I'm naked, in like a hospital dress and just a concrete bed with like a mattress, like a thin mattress and, they leave the light on 24/7."
