I have a bad feeling about this. Putin flaps his lips as the US smashes Iran, but when EU members and UK respond to direct aggression from Iran, how much you want to bet he puffs up and threatens military support for his ally? I think Putin wants a WWII do-over.

Until Palantir enters the picture, and AI assisted intel tells them exactly where and when the violence will occur, so they could stop it if they wanted to. Is there a word yet for that?
I just had a night terror over this, so I hope it still makes sense. The very fact of us having "red states" and "blue states," and just plodding on from election cycle to election cycle for decades in parallel, is a tacit acknowledgement of the validity of white supremacy in both.
Any amount of time between now and when world leaders are coming together to stop him is too long.
Deep winter jams.
It has occurred to me that we have not yet witnessed ICE crossing somebody they truly shouldn't have.
amen. I've been shouting that for years and it's exhausting. It's just horrible people trying to hurt us. Politics was a tool.
It won't go back because, among many other things, they will be trying to kill us all the time now. That cat's out of the bag. Kirk was the starting pistol of their genocide. However, I don't believe that's what will define the great transformation that lays ahead. There is so much more going on.
Stunned. Among other things, it's painful to see friends and folks around me in the throes of rapidly processing recent events. Everybody has this mix of mourning, and rage, and disorientation. Staying busy.

I know Epstein is important, but I'm not hearing ANYTHING about the UK sending Palantir back to hell after sacking Mandelson.

Absolutely. I hear so much "what do we have to do to prevent this happening again," and nobody talking about our mental illness with the damned executive branch. We are so invested in the presidential cult of personality. If there was a way to undo that ...
A blue graphic featuring a stylized photo of a child in a wheelchair sitting at a classroom desk is the backdrop of the Discrim in Education Brief cover, with the name and cover photo of a group of students sitting as a central focus. Around the cover, which is overlaid on the left side of the graphic is a thin white border with the words Out Now in script text underneath. The CRDJ logo in white is above these elements with a textured dot pattern leading to it from the left side. At the bottom, a yellow rectangle contains blue text, reading "CRDJustice.org."
New from CRDJ: Discrimination in Education Brief
Schools often respond to disability and trauma with punishment, disproportionately impacting students of color and reinforcing the school-prison nexus. The brief calls for transformative, equity-centered approaches.

This has been a cornerstone of US agitators' global efforts to fulfill Project Esther -- the claim that pro-Palestinian activists are terrorists, and the pivot point where ICE infrastructure and personnel are reallocated to abduct, traffic, and detain citizens. Go UK!

Maybe I'm superstitious. I've always been a little on edge when a Friday the 13th comes up. But now I keep thinking we have people with tanks and nukes and fake warrants here whose entire ethical framework is built from horror movie tropes. Who would say "Happy Friday the 13th" before he shoots you.

This has me excited. WE ARE IN THE BELLY OF THE MISINFORMATION MEME-O-SPHERE, people, so we might as well give it our best hard kicks from the inside.

If they're doing the devil's work now, I don't doubt they can count on a little of our tax revenues to bail them out.
"The tech company has a long and controversial history of supporting predictive policing, deportations, state surveillance, and drone strikes in Iraq and Afghanistan."
That was when this was published in Aug. 2024. Since then Palantir has co-authored genocide in Gaza.

happening this morning in Minneapolis -- ICE agents drawing guns on observers. I reiterate again that it is only a matter of time before DHS kills more innocent people in Minnesota. Congress needs to shut this shit down right now.
