Imagine seeing this and still thinking we need incrementalism. Social media has totally cooked people's brains. We got intelligent people who aren't willing to see the forest for the trees because they don't want to admit they were wrong to a bunch of people they'll never meet in real life.

While the Treasury Department has denied the existence of a contract for this work, IRS engineers were invited to another three-day “training and building session” on the project located at Palantir’s Georgetown offices in Washington, DC, this week, according to a document viewed by WIRED.

They started building this immigrant-hunting nightmare system without a contract directly at Palantir headquarters.

If you don't know much about government contracting you might not know why that is bad.

But if you do, it is breathtaking.

So weird, also they always ask me specifically for $225.00, really curious how they came up with that.

This article definitely makes me think that overhauling what sort of databases we have and who has access to them and how and when is a critical next move too, but likely a much trickier one to accomplish, both politically and practically.

They want us working earlier and til we die to pay for their tax cuts for the rich. Supervillains.

Go yell at them Thursday, bay area. #IceOutTheBay

Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard put President Donald Trump on the phone with some of the FBI agents who had conducted a controversial search of an elections office in Fulton County, Georgia, last week, two sources familiar with the call told CNN.

My plan in crosswalks at rush hour in Palo Alto is to avoid them and jaywalk in the middle of the block because every driver takes a turn at 45 MPH

Derp blue evening sky, Union Dquate buildings, pathway leading to them, 2 ChatGPT billboards in sort of the style of apple billboards but instead of people dancing with iPods or examples of photos people are poking sticks into tide pools. I guess it’s a metaphor.

Judge Reyes starts with a comparison: George Washington versus Kristi Noem.

It's probably not a good "reform" if your opponents adopt it before you even pass the bill

We didn't say body cams on ICE. Their murders are already on video. We said no more ICE.

Watching elected Ds use the Epstein Files as a punchline instead of treating it as a nightmare children lived through and will forever be scarred by is unbelievable. These victims had the guts to come forward and speak about dangerous and powerful individuals on the record and nothing happened

Jeffrey Epstein emailing Peter Thiel: Finding things on their way to collapse was much easier than finding the next bargain. ... Return to tribalism. Counter to globalization. Amazing new alliances.

Definitely seems like they destroyed the country on purpose.

Incrementalists take it on the chin again. This is why they hate Mamdani. He's giving up the game that people in power HAVE POWER and don't solely exist to beg you for $5 every day. He's ruining the Democratic Party by showing voters that they have the power to do stuff instead of crouching in fear

House Democrats must vote ‘no’ on DHS funding tomorrow. Our country is in the middle of a five alarm fire, and we must act like it.

While ICE agents are killing Americans in the street and using five year old children as bait, we should not give that agency another dime.

the whole country is on fucking fire and Mamdani is just over there going down the checklist of shitty things no one should have allowed rich people to get away with, and honestly it gives me hope for a better world.

I know you've heard that a federal judge ordered the release of 5 year old Liam Conejo Arias and his father, and that they're now home.

But did you look at the judge's order?

It's less than 2.5 pages and well worth a minute. "Jesus wept."

Simply couldn’t imagine being enough of a loser to go to the official “wasn’t slavery neat?” dinner

Wikipedia article: A Kavanaugh stop is a law enforcement practice in the United States in which federal agents can stop and detain a person based on their perceived ethnicity, spoken language, or occupation. Kavanaugh stops originated in a September 2025 Supreme Court concurrence by Justice Brett Kavanaugh in Noem v. Vasquez Perdomo.

Kavanaugh should be proud.
He left his mark in history.
He will be remembered.

We love our San Francisco tourists who support the thriving industry of little shops that sell sweatshirts and extra luggage to hold all the sweatshirts to people who visit in the summer.

My unsolicited recommendation that will be completely ignored:

A lot of terrible people who helped re-elect Trump will jump off the ship. They will be embraced by Democrats and corporate media.

Make them earn it. Make them show their homework.

Or else this cycle repeats itself again and again.

Exactly

Important to understand that:

Normal people hate Trump.
Normal people hate ICE.
Normal people hate fascists.
Normal people hate secret police executing people in the street, shooting priests in the head with pepper balls, and kidnapping little kids with Spider-Man backpacks and bunny hats.

5-year-old Liam Conejo Ramos, father board plane for Minneapolis after detention center release A federal judge on Saturday ordered that the pair be released.

Liam and his dad are finally free and on their way back home to Minnesota.

They never should have been kidnapped in the first place.
