Silicon Valley’s Extortion Letter to Democrats Ex-Palantir Exec Warns Democrats to Bow Down or Lose the Future

A former Palantir exec just published an extortion letter in the Washington Post: Democrats must fund tech oligarchs, abandon antitrust, and create 15 deregulated corporate zones—or “lose.”

Just his raw arrogance/aggression/coarseness on full view… I’ve had a similar reaction. I think if I’d been next to that reporter when he said that I might not have been able to stop myself from smacking him in the face

Stupid question, but is there only 1 single version of “the files”? Are there not duplicates?

At this stage there’s literally no reason to believe the admin, even if it releases more than you’d expect, are being forthcoming. It’s the opposite of conspiracy theory to look at the proudly lawless pattern of deception and raw power that this trump admin has engaged in then to conclude they’d…

Mike Johnson said releasing the Epstein files 'lacked adequate protection for whistleblowers' at the same time the DOJ fired Ghislaine Maxwell's prison whistleblowers who reported on her preferential treatment🙄

You’ll notice that there’s suddenly major support from MAGA fascist republicans to release the Epstein Files after spending months stalling to give bribe for hire Pam Bondi and lunatic Kash Patel time to doctor documents and scrub out certain names.

He’s asking you to excuse the rape of children because he disappeared Brown people and made a lot of money for billionaires.

This is the kind of headline I suggested would start showing up soon. There are more to come soon. At some point, the snowfall…will become an avalanche.

Our country, government & economy is being auctioned off bit by bit to the highest bidder, resulting in huge portions of our industrial, real estate & retail markets owned by China, Saudi Arabia, Russia & other private equity pirates gaining more control over our lives with each acquisition.

CIA concludes Saudi crown prince ordered Jamal Khashoggi’s assassination Audio recordings, intercepted phone calls and other intelligence link Mohammed bin Salman to killing that Saudis say was conducted by rogue elements.

A reminder that seven years ago almost to the day, the CIA determined that Mohammed Bin Salman ordered the killing of @washingtonpost.com journalist Jamal Khashoggi.

I hired and worked with Jamal for a year.

A tweet from “Sibylle @AHaschi” reads:
“So let me get this straight…
The 30-year-old ‘Young Republicans’ being openly racist on group chats are kids, but the 13-year-olds in those files were suddenly ‘young women’?”

I’m on here to learn as well as share so following others has always been more important to me than being followed. I couldn’t tell you right now how many followers I have because I haven’t checked in at least two months!
