Palantir is the AI/tech company doing the most to help the Trump regime expand the surveillance state by mining Americans’ private data. But should we assume worst intentions? Maybe Thiel is just quirky and misunderstood… 😒

Vilifying neurodivergent & disabled folks is an easy access point bc we’re easy to dehumanize & there’s already overlap with other marginalized groups they want to silence.
But remember, their ultimate goal isn’t a better life for any of us. It’s to divide us so we’re easier for them to conquer.

Fеd govt agencies already have agreements w/ 7 states to use kids’ med & SPED records for rеsеаrch w/o family соnsеnt, & we don’t know what info they can access.
Sounds an awful lot like the beginnings of a national autism registry, no?

Shit’s getting more real every day. We picked the most emergent news stories for this week’s discussion, including the possibility Trump could invoke the Insurrection Act, & how this connects to the DHS/ICE kidnappings & legal U.S. residents being sent to a foreign gulag. Nobody is safe.

It's important to understand: this is fascism. What Stephen Miller is saying here, is straight-up fascism.
Conflating the mere existence of other races near you, to an army invading and taking over your community, is literally the rhetoric Hitler used to justify his actions.

This was the largest political gathering in Denver since Obama in 2008.
Also bigger than the 2024 DNC.
