The Pentagon just announced a no-bid contract that will be awarded to Palantir for "the integration of artificial intelligence (AI) into the field of geospatial intelligence."
This means Palantir will have unprecedented access to maps, satellite imagery, GPS data, and more.

Tens of thousands of people took to the streets today in NYC.
After marching, we surrounded 26 Federal Plaza—the building where ICE is kidnapping people and tearing families apart.
We sat in solidarity with those taken, and left flowers for those lost.

It’s outrageous the complete disregard ICE shows for our communities. Trespassing and urinating on school property is unacceptable under any circumstances, but doing so when children may be present is absolutely indefensible.

Is the planet losing one of its best ways to slow climate change?
