Ex-Justice officials: 'It's our duty to sound the alarm' Scores of officials who have resigned or been forced out of the Justice Department this year are speaking out against its "destruction."

Real accountability only exists when people can safely speak out about government misconduct. If you are thinking about blowing the whistle, POGO is here to offer support:

Bisignano to lead IRS in addition to SSA duties, raising questions about the Senate confirmation process Experts warned that the move could further facilitate the consolidation of Social Security and IRS databases for use in immigration enforcement.

Once again the executive branch is attempting to go around the Senate's Constitutional role, this time putting a new "CEO" in place at the IRS. On top of the clear overreach at hand here, this raises serious privacy concerns about the consolidation of IRS and Social Security data.

We Built a Surveillance State. What Now? For decades, Republicans and Democrats have greenlit a massive surveillance apparatus. What happens when this powerful tool is in the hands of the wrong person?

CIA or Palantir? Because this kinda sounds like Palantir.

Always follow the money

Not a shitpost: #NoKings is feel-good performative activism for comfortable mostly upper and upper middle class white folks and that’s good, actually. Millions of people in the streets protesting a fascist regime is good. It is good for the normie baseline to be massive displays of public dissent.

Some say that the footsoldiers of the Antichrist are here—and that they include Greta Thunberg as well as “Brussels bureaucracy”. These revelations came not from the Book of Revelation, but from Peter Thiel, the co-founder of PayPal and Palantir

We filed FOIA requests with DHS, DOJ, HHS, ICE, and the Pentagon to uncover how Palantir accesses and uses sensitive government data, including contracts, communications, and internal directives.

US-China déjà vu all over again Trump’s latest piece of brinkmanship is likely to result in another climbdown

"Trump is a field day for Palantir, OpenAI, xAI, Anduril & others. He may think he's the ultimate peacemaker. But his actions are stoking China’s self-belief and elevating America’s military-AI complex. It would be rash to assume he knows what he is doing." My column. www.ft.com/content/7343...
